Parts of Night and Day in the Quranic Context

Abstract

This study examines the parts of night and day in the Quranic context, discussing the Quranic division of temporal relations associated with night and day and the specific portions thereof mentioned in the Quran. It reveals that time, in the Quranic understanding, warrants attention and organization to ensure that social and human relations are based on respecting and managing time, avoiding its wastage on fruitless pursuits. The study also illustrates that as hours and times pass, with their consecutive regularity, they alert to the stages of night and day and their constituent parts. These parts gradually unfold the span of life, fostering perpetual awareness that enables individuals to sense the passage of time. It encourages individuals to hold themselves accountable for their life relationships and engagements, understanding how they spend their time and to what extent they overcome the constraints of time. This is delineated through the detailed exploration and focal points addressed in this research. The study focuses on a deep analysis of the parts of night and day in the Quranic context, shedding light on the importance of respecting and organizing time in individual and social life. Additionally, it offers a fresh perspective on understanding time in Islam and how Quranic concepts can effectively guide human behavior in investing and managing their time.
