    Surah Adiyat: Lessons from the Early Attack

    The verse emphasizes the horses of the Muslim soldiers traveling through the night and attacking the infidels in the darkness before dawn. This imagery reflects several lessons for believers:

    Key Reflections

    1. Blessings in Early Morning Efforts

      • The attack in the early hours symbolizes the Divine grace and blessings associated with actions performed during this time.
      • Jihad or any deed carried out in the morning is more likely to be accepted by Allah Almighty and yield positive outcomes.

    2. Symbolism of Dawn as a Time of Renewal

      • Dawn represents a time of new beginnings and clarity. Just as the attack is strategic and decisive, so too are actions taken at this time imbued with focus and determination.

    3. Broad Implications for Daily Life

      • This teaching extends beyond the context of Jihad. All religious and worldly deeds, such as worship, work, or study, performed in the early hours are considered auspicious and blessed.

    Sunnah and Teachings on Early Morning

    • The Holy Prophet ﷺ has emphasized the blessings of the early morning:
      • "O Allah, bless my nation in their early mornings." [Tirmidhi]
      • This encourages believers to utilize the morning for productivity and spiritual devotion.

    Lessons Derived

    1. Maximizing Blessings in the Morning

      • Believers should develop a habit of starting their day early to seek both worldly and spiritual success.

    2. Strategic Planning for Success

      • Just as the soldiers’ attack at dawn highlights the importance of timing and preparation, believers are reminded to plan their efforts wisely and begin tasks at the most favorable times.

    3. Morning as a Time of Reflection and Worship

      • Use the early hours for acts of worship like Tahajjud (night prayer) or Fajr Salah, and also for planning daily tasks with renewed energy and purpose.

    Conclusion

    The early morning attack of the soldiers in Surah Adiyat teaches us about the immense blessings of starting tasks in the early hours. It inspires believers to use the quiet and focus of the morning to perform both religious and worldly deeds, ensuring productivity and Divine grace in their efforts.

    Ala-Maududi

    (100:3) then raid by the dawn,[3]

    3. The practice among the Arabs was that when they had to mount a raid on a settlement, they marched out in the night so as to take the enemy by surprise; then they would launch a sudden attack early in the morning so that everything became visible in the light of day, and at the same time it did not become so bright that the victim could notice their movement from a distance and be ready to meet the offensive.

    (3) And the chargers at dawn,[1969]

    [1969]- While the enemy is unaware.
