Allah

00:00:01 --> 00:00:03

takes an oath into the Quran.

00:00:05 --> 00:00:08

Chapter number 9, verse number 1 and 2

00:00:08 --> 00:00:09

where Allah says, wal fajr.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:10

Walayalil

00:00:11 --> 00:00:11

ash

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

by fajr, by dawn.

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

And

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

by the 10

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17

nights.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

Here, Allah is

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

taking the oath of Fajr

00:00:22 --> 00:00:23

and by 10 nights.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:25

Here, the Mufassil

00:00:25 --> 00:00:28

say when Allah is taking the oath, walayalil

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31

al ash. That is by the 10 nights.

00:00:32 --> 00:00:33

It is referring

00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

to the first 10 days of the rijjah.

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

Now people will wonder

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

why did Allah use the word nights when

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

he's referring to the days

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43

of the first 10 days of the rijja.

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

This is common in many languages.

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

If I have to say in English that

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

I spent 10 days in Nioh.

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

But naturally when I say I spent 10

00:00:52 --> 00:00:53

days in Nioh,

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

it means I spent 10 days and 10

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

nights in New York. It's understood. When I

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59

say days,

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

many a time the nights are included.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

Similarly, in Arabic

00:01:03 --> 00:01:06

when days are mentioned the nights are included.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

And when nights are mentioned many a time

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

even the days are included. It can only

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11

be night. It can be day and night

00:01:11 --> 00:01:14

also. It can be only day depending upon

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

the context.
