74:30
When man needs to swear, he swears by the higher and holy things. But, since there is nothing higher than God, therefore, He swears by those things, which according to Him, are sacred and blessed, as in the surah of Mudaththir (The Cloaked One): "Nay, verily: by the moon and by the night as it retreats, and by the dawn as it shines forth." (74:32-34). An amazing wisdom is hidden in this verse, for, God does not swear by the whole night, rather, by that part which is close to the morning, which can be compared with this line:
Swearing Swearing
------------------------------- Night Last Morning
Thus, this is clearly the luminous time. This same meaning is found in the surah of Takwir (The Folding Up): "By the night when it dissipates, and the dawn when it breathes away the darkness" (81:17-18). You can now understand from this, why the cibadat of the morning is necessary.
