The meaning of His saying, the Exalted: "And from the evil of the darkening night as it closes in."

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :
And from the evil of darkness when it settles ومن شر غاسق إذا وقب
[Al-Falaq 113:3]
The darkening night is the night, as Allah the Exalted said:
Establish prayer at the decline of the sun [from its meridian] until the darkness of the night أقم الصلاة لدلوك الشمس إلى غسق الليل
[Al-Isra 17:78]
The darkening night is the night. Allah specifically mentioned it, even though it is one of the created things, because insects and wild beasts are mostly, what? They are active at night. Indeed, even the pains of the sick, glory be to Allah, intensify at night more than during the day. Therefore, Allah the Mighty and Majestic commanded us to seek refuge in Him from the evil of the darkening night as it closes in. "Waqab" means to enter. Good.
