    Explanation of the Oath on Night and Day

    The oath mentioned here holds significance on various levels:

    1. Night and Day as Reminders:
      The night serves as a reminder of death, while the day symbolizes the Day of Judgement. During the night, human knowledge, senses, strength, and power diminish, emphasizing that these are not inherently ours. It is also during the night that individuals reveal their true nature:

      • The transgressors engage in criminal acts like theft and adultery.
      • The pious immerse themselves in Tahajjud prayers, shedding tears in devotion to Allah Almighty.

    2. Superiority of Night Over Day:
      The night precedes and surpasses the day in its significance. Hence, it is mentioned before the day.

    3. Nights and Days of Hazrat Bilal:
      These oaths could also symbolize the nights and days of Hazrat Bilal (May Allah be pleased with him), who remained in constant remembrance of Allah despite the harsh adversities he faced at the home of Umayyah bin Khalf.

    4. Nights and Days of True Devotees:
      Alternatively, the reference may be to the nights and days of sincere believers:

      • Their nights are devoted to the contemplation of their True Friend (Allah).
      • Their days are spent in active remembrance of Allah.

    5. Negligence and Repentance:
      The night may represent moments of negligence wherein believers err, while the day signifies moments of awakening when they repent and seek forgiveness. Such sins that lead to repentance hold greater value than acts of worship that foster pride.

    6. Repentance Over Pride:
      A sin that drives a believer to tears, repentance, and remorse is deemed superior to worship that cultivates arrogance. For instance:

      • The act of Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace) eating wheat is considered superior to the cumulative worship of Shaitan, as it led to repentance and closeness to Allah Almighty.
