وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَىٰ ١
By the night enshrouding.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
By the night when it covers.
Insight
Elmalılı says the oaths of this surah summarise those of the previous one but in reverse order: there the path went from light to darkness, here from darkness to light.
Reflect
Recall a moment in your life when you came out of darkness into light.
