And this revelation, after many, you know, let's say months, weeks or months even, of this not knowing and not being sure exactly what the next steps were.
And in this Surah, Allah says, and He starts by saying, BismillahirRahmanirRahim, He swears by that daybreak, وَالضُّحَى literally translates to by the morning light.
And then the next verse going the opposite direction, the contrast is like very palpable.
And we ended here last week, but I wanted to kind of go backwards a little bit just so that we could really appreciate the full gravity of what this message was doing for the Prophet, right? And this is an important kind of like meta moment for us.
The Quran, it contains stories, it contains history, it contains direct moral guidance.
It's unlike really any other piece of literature because it includes so many different styles of message.
If I open up a science book, I'm not expecting history, right? But the Quran is this beautiful mosaic of different styles of literature that sometimes calls on history, sometimes calls on law, sometimes calls on logic, sometimes calls on self-reflection and narrative, and other times really is a combination.
And the reason why is because all of that is to combine and give us guidance.
So no matter what we read, whether it's historical or legal or scientific or biographical in the Quran, story of Musa or any of that, it's supposed to give us guidance.
So what is this, you know, juxtaposition, right? وَالضُّحَىٰ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَابَ By the day and by the night when it falls still, what kind of guidance is that giving? Well, the scholars of the Quran, right? Those people, they're called the Mufassirun.
They say something very powerful about this juxtaposition, this kind of binary, the day and the night.
