    Surah Ash-Shams Ayat 3 Tafsir (Commentry)

    3. The Relationship Between the Sun and the Day

    1. The Sun Makes the Day Visible:

      • The sun is the primary source that makes the day appear. The moment the true dawn (first light) appears, people begin to realize that sunrise is close. When the sunlight fully shines, it confirms that the sun has risen. This is a clear sign of the day’s arrival.

    2. External Existence and the Sun’s Role:

      • The sun is the cause of the day, and it is not the day that makes the sun shine. This means that the day is not independent but entirely dependent on the sun to shine. The sun's light brings forth the day, and there is no other reason for the daylight except the sun's presence.

    3. Symbolic Meaning of the Sun and True Dawn:

      • Spiritually, the "true dawn" represents the initial signs of divine guidance, just as the sun's light makes the world visible. The sun's full rise is like the complete revelation of truth, dispelling darkness and bringing clarity to the world.
