والليل اذا يغشاها. {وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلاَّهَا، وَالليْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَاهَا}

And when he presented before them the miracle of the she camel, as demanded by themselves, the most wretched one of them, in spite of his warning, hamstrung it, in accordance with the will and desire of the people

This sense of discrimination and realization is a universal truth on account of which no human society in the world has ever been without the concepts of good and evil; there has never been in history, nor is there now, a society which may not be having some kind of a system of rewarding the good and punishing the evil

Our familiarity with the sun and its light makes us tend to overlook its beauty and function

It is a communication to hearts and an inspiration to souls which come alive whenever man looks up to the universe for an inspiring or cheerful sight

In the second part citing the historical precedent of the people of Thamud the significance of Prophethood has been brought out.

القرآن الكريم/سورة الليل: Fa-sawwaha signifies that the scourge overtook the entire nation, men, women, children, and young and old
إسلام ويب: This same thing has been expressed in Surah Ar-Room, saying: Be steadfast on the nature whereupon Allah has created mankind, verse 30 , and the same has been explained by the Prophet peace be upon him in a Hadith, saying: Every new-born child is born on true human nature; it is his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian or a Magian afterwards
سورة الشمس مكتوبة كاملة بالتشكيل: The word damdama refers to such tormenting scourge as is unleashed on a person or a nation again and again, until it destroys or crushes them completely

This provides an example of the unpromising prospects which await those who corrupt their souls instead of keeping them pure and who do not confine themselves within the limits of piety

Therefore, when the word duha is attributed to the sun, its full meaning can be expressed more appropriately by its radiant brightness than by its light, or by the time of the day that it indicates.

سورة الشمس مكتوبة كاملة بالتشكيل: The first part deals with three things: That just as the sun and the moon, the day and the night, the earth and the sky, are different from each other and contradictory in their effects and results, so are the good and the evil different front each other and contradictory in their effects and results; they are neither alike in their outward appearance nor can they be alike in their results
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَاهَا: In addition, proportioning also means that man was not created a sinner by birth and a criminal by instinct but on right and sound nature, and was not characterized with any inborn crookedness because of which he may be unable to adopt the right path even if he wanted to do so
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَاهَا: In it is stated: Who created death and life that he may try you to see which of you is best in deeds

If man does not accept and acknowledge this clear and definite guidance sent down through Revelation, he can neither avoid fujur not find the way to taqva

Successful is the one who keeps it pure, and ruined is the one who corrupts it

He, in fact, has the option to do good or refrain from sin

In , Allah says: Truly successful was he who adopted purity

Sura As Shams The Sun Name The Surah has been so designated after the word ash-shams with which it opens.

والليلِ إذا يغشاها: A discussion of it is given every time it occurs
والليلِ إذا يغشاها: This is a limit that will not prove false
إسلام ويب: He has free will to choose his path of good or evil
