🌙 The Oath by the Night – Tafseer of Ayah 84:17

🔹 The Significance of the Night

🔹 Allah swears by the night and all that it envelops.
🔹 The night is a time of deep reflection, remembrance, and worship.
🔹 It is the moment when the pious engage in acts beloved to Allah, such as:
    ✅ Tahajjud Salaah (The late-night prayer)
    ✅ Weeping in humility before Allah
    ✅ Repentance and seeking forgiveness
    ✅ Engaging in loving conversations with the Creator

📖 Lesson:

The night holds special blessings for those who remember Allah.
Acts of devotion performed in solitude are deeply cherished by Allah.
May Allah grant us the ability to make the most of these sacred moments!
