The Secret of the Night

By: Hazem Helmi

Did you ever think about the night , as it draws down

it’s darkness, as one great of the creator (Allah)?Allah
(God Almighty ) is the one who created the night as a
:sign for mankind

And a sign for them is the night. We withdraw there “

from the day , and behold , they are in
darkness“Qur’an36-37

It is one of the signs of god Almighty that the body

feels more rested after sleeping during the night, then
it does after sleeping during the daytime . During
nighttime bodies takes their full rest , as Allah , The
Almighty has put a special secret in the creation of the
:night

Allah ,it is He Who has made the night for you that“
you may rest therein ….Qur’an 40:61

At night we see the moon , the beautiful lighted planet

above. Truly it is a sign of Almighty Allah, The Most
!High

It is He who made the sun to be a shining glory and

me moon to be a light (of beauty), and measured out
stages for it, that you might know the number of years
and the count (of time). Allah has not created this
except in truth. He details the signs for a people who
know.Qur’an10-5

Marvelous it is , the darkness when it covers the sky ,

to spread it’s calmness over all creatures . Let us
discover more and more what are the secrets of the
night . Almighty Allah has sworn by the night , when it
 :covers the world with it’s stillness

BY the night when it darkens (and stands“

still..)Qur’an 93-2

Also among the secrets of the night are the stars, that
Allah has made as an adornment for the sky and to
guide those who travel in the Earth

And it is He who has placed for you the stars that “

you may be guided by them through the darkness of
land and sea. We have detailed the signs for a people
who know “.Qur’an6:97

To understand the great favor of Allah on us regarding

this matter, imagine that daytime is continuous,
without end then ask yourself , what would happen to
the world if it lost the alternation of night and day?
How would the creatures have their rest with no
night? What would happen to those creatures who
only seek their livelihood during the night? What
would be the result of endless daylight? The answer is
disorder , chaos and disarray in the system of the
world

Say, Have you considered : if Allah should make for“

you the day continuous until the Day of Resurrection,
what deity other than Allah could bring you a night in
which you may rest? ‘Then will you not see? “Qur’an
28-72

So let us submit our wills to the One Whom alone

deserves all worship ,our Creator and Sustainer ,
Allah the Most High!All praise is due to Allah alone ,
who created the night and day as a blessing for us
