Fasting until night not sunset
-
2187 And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread. Then complete the fast until the night (layl).
3637 And a sign for them is the night. We remove from it day, so they are in darkness.
217 Their example is like the one who lights a fire, so when it illuminates what is around him, God takes away his light and leaves him in the darkness not seeing.

If you think night/layl = total darkness can you explain how its possible to remove light/nahar FROM it?
Is it possible to remove water from a cup if it has no water in it?

I don’t know to what extent you are convinced that according to Quran we should breakfast TILL Night falls, but for me it is certain that we should breakfast till night falls i.e not at Sunset but when civil lights are faded off and when you need the artificial light.. that means you are in darkness not enough light … two ends are same for me.. I mean the time to stop eating at dawn (when clear white thread appears from darkness) and time to break it (Clearly darkness crept in / overtook light with the absence of clear light) ...
3637 word Naslah means PASS / MOVEAWAY / SEPARATE etc..
“And a sign for them is the NIGHT. We pass (MinHu) of/from IT (Night) Day(Nahar), so they are in DARKNESS.
Night is Darkness undeniably…
For all these what is the key? SUN + LIGHT.. mere object SUN is meaningless if it doesn’t possess its light…
…. We all know LIGHT comes FIRST then comes into visibility the object SUN…..
… We all know object SUN disappears FIRST and LIGHT fades last gradually…
This is called SUNLIGHT… This SUNLIGHT is called DAY/NAHAR
Absence of IT (SUN+LIGHT=SUNGLIGHT), is called NIGHT / LAIL
Now note the verse 3637… What is the SIGN here? NIGHT… it means DARKNESS… God says “We PASS of/from IT day… it means completely DAY/NAHAR is PASSED… for example even small portion of eclipse is still eclipse until completely become normal .. if it is a solar eclipse, the black object visible in front of it should completely pass, then only the Eclipse is no more.. Just coz light appeared you can’t claim eclipse is over.. same logic..
God Created Day and Night and not the THIRD ONE… so any part of the Day(24hrs) is either Night or Day not in-between…
So according to the verse 3637 the sign is NIGHT and God passes DAY(SUNLIGHT) away from it (DARKNESS) so we are in NIGHT.. That’s Night for sure..simple example ... take a torch in dark room and circle it on the floor... you will see light pass from darkness.. KEY here is DARKNESS is permanent.. so God passes/withdraw (Naslah) the nahar from the fixed darkness so we are in DARKNESS.. Nahar is withdrawn from it..that's the verse 3637

peace,
When you are emptying a cup, you don't say the cup is empty until the last drop has fallen out. Likewise, when the sun is setting and light is being removed, you don't say it is night until the last light of day has been removed
Your above statement assumes night = total darkness. That is what we are trying to determine.
Perhaps truth put it more eloquently "The light is removed from 'layl' meaning that it must contain some light to begin with."

1310 It is the same concerning you whether one conceals speech or one publicizes it and whether one is hidden by night or conspicuous by day.
night and day verses are very clear in Quran and making it complicated unnecessarily is effort worth nothing...
chapter 91 is very clear as we have discussed many times in this forum.. it is SUN+BRIGHTNESS/LIGHT... that's what get covered by NIGHT...
if in the First verse of chapter 91 only SUN is there it very fair enough feminine word usage is referring to SUN... but Wa'shamsi Waduhaha is one verse.. it is two in one.. it is dual.. feminine and masculine is intermingled, ... then from second verse onwards only God uses word 'Idha" (when)...
it is obvious... and non one can take it as only sun.. God didn't use only SUN in the first verse of 9101... more than enough evidence.. God is swearing BY not only SUN but also BY BRIGHTNESS...

It's not assuming, everyone knows what night is. If you're saying night has light in it then what is total darkness called?
You have added another assumption = "everyone knows what night is". If you really think so, go to a park or somewhere where there are people and AFTER the sun has set, give it a minute or two, (i.e. it is clearly twilight), and ask 10 random people "what would you call this time daytime or nighttime? Let us know out of 10 how many say daytime.
And as to your question Quran tells us "ghasaq al layl" in 1778 (i.e. without twilight).
Please note that "min" is a partitive (denoting a grammatical construction used to indicate that only a part of a whole is referred to)
And a sign for them is the layl, We strip/peel/remove from it the nahar, whereupon they are those in darkness.
Also note that "whereupon" is from "fa idha" which literally means "so/then when" where "idha" is a time adverb. One can read many occurrences of "fa idha" in Quran

واذ wa-idh/and when (time adverb past episode/event)
واذا wa-idha/and when of (time adverb present/future)
does the moon follow it i.e. the sun, yes!
does the daytime display it i.e. sun, yes!
does the night cover it i.e. the sun, yes!
can you see it i.e. sun below horizon, no! -

Evidence from Quranic/Arabic grammar book please, or unequivocal examples from Quran. Otherwise your claim is simply baseless conjecture.

https//corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=%3Ci*aA#(36377)If you think they agree with you then you should have left night as night and they would have come to the same conclusion that night is sunset. You don't need to force sunset as the interpretation but you do because you change the word.

can you see it i.e. sun below horizon, no!Well Moon rotates the Earth, circling the Earth and Earth Circles the Sun … And everything moving in space… nothing follows anything.. Everything moves.. So obviously Moon doesn’t FOLLOW the Sun According to Heliocentric Model.. so don’t ask me… ask in what you believe… Following and Circling are two different things..
Unfortunately Again I repeat.. SUN + BRIGHTNESS = SUNLIGHT… God talks about both in the verse 911..
Of course Nahar / Day displays Brightness and gradually the Sun, and then Sun disappears and so does the brightness in the end… So literally NAHAR displays SUNLIGHTOf course NIGHT / Lail makes disappear / make it absent the SUNLIGHT.. … try to grasp..

Poor chap you are.. You see it or you don't see it, it is luminous always.. Nothing can can take away its brightness... All our weak vision... It never goes below horizon but it seems... So God's verses clear.. By the sun and its Brightness...
For example God says Moon is Muneer/light.. Is Moon Muneer always? You can see moon at day time without any light on it.. Does it Muneer? God didn't say Moon is Muneer at NIGHT?.. So dude be positive in what you say... Below horizon object may dissapear for our vision.. But brightness didn't go away ..and the brightness is only from Sun.. When both dissapears it called Night... Yes sun is Siraj always and needless to say sun is Siraj at DAY time....Let me ask this again.. Will I get weak answer or strong answer..
2187 Literally sex is allowed at the NIGHTS / Lail of fasting 2187 .. Do you know definition of Night.. Lol rotfl
I got a bizzare answer from someone I can't remember last time saying people are busy at Fajr to sun rise so no time for sex... rotflWhat difference it makes if God kept fasting from Sun rise to sunset literally as per your Day... Why God so specific going into Fajr and white thread manifest from darkness. So one end people have to verify before stopping eating at Fajr.. Other end well just wait for sunset.. Literally waiting for sunset.. But God never used sunset.. You wait for sunset but God never said sunset..did He? But you take and give definition to night that begins at sunset..
Well dude.. Just so curious.. Who clarifies you what is sunset.. Is just little portion of sun set so night begins. You swallow your food.. . Or fully dissapear.. Same for Rising. As far as I know little portion sun start dissapear people do start breakfast...
Let me extend further... Coz I need clarification from those who are against my understanding coz I am ready to leave my understanding to whatever the best understanding.. So I follow best be it through me or others..Two ends of Nahar is mentioned in Quran.. One for you according to your tone should be Sun rise why the other becomes Sunset.. While it is the same for Night.. The rise of sun and setting of sun are two ends of Night according to your acceptance .. Calling it merely two ends of Nahar won't make any sense. Two ends of Nahar makes sense by all means that they are two twilight (civil) periods of nahar..
Common sense.. If we consider you are right then neither Sunset nor sun rise make it ends of Nahar.. It is a circle of black and white.. And it is not a straight line of black and separate white line.. In a circle of black and white if one goes and stand any end it is end of both black and white.. So calling sunset and sunrise two ends of nahar is sheer meaningless..
but note well.. Nahar in which are twilights is definitely two ends of nahar. It never belongs to Night.. One which belongs can only take the possession to call two ends.. So simple but you are blinded... Coz sun set of sunrise neither belongs to nahar or Lail according to your definition of night and day...BTW thank you for the animated picture.. There are more real looking animated videos.. Try one of those.. This looks old fashioned...
Oops I forgot to say what I really wanted to say when I looked t your animated fancy video... You know what I remembered... It is like this...
"Washamsi wadhuhaha ...
"Wal Ardhi idha thalaha...Well... That's missing isn't it...

Earth is not a flat coin (heads and tails)
It’s simple as daylight
Sun (f) visible “white thread” then start
913 والنهر wal-nahari/and (by) the daytime (m) اذا idha/when of جلها jallaha/display it (f)Sun (f) dips below horizon (not visible) stop
914 والىل wa-al-layli/and (by) the night (m) اذا idha/when of ىغشها yaghshaha/covered it (f)peace

Interesting that sunnis pray at sunset (maghrib) and break their fast after sunset but also pray the night prayer (isha) like hour or hour and a half after sunset. But when it says fast until the night they don't fast until Isha prayer but only until maghrib. Very inconsistent.

Just leave Sunnis aside.. They do so many things neglecting clear words of Quran... It is fruitless talking about their practices... At least people who believe in Quran alone do argue.. Perhaps not known to them yet that breakfast to Night.. But sometimes some people may be adament...
Anyway the job of Object sun is to be Glory and be brilliance.. That's its light.. If one doesn't understand that Civil light at dawn and dusk is coz of Sun and its glory then he failed his perception...
I was at the beach last weekend.. Sun did set beautifully.. I could see all as I did see while object sun was in my vision... After 25 mnts.. I started to feel darkness creeping in the atmosphere... This is common.. Isn't it.. But I stayed there one more hour.. The west where sun set had little effect of light even when I was to leave.. But when I turned east.. The sky was pitch dark... West sky at the same time with some effect of light.. Two different things in two different direction...Try to understand those who say sunset is night.. Civil light which is coz of Sun can never be night... Aeronautical twilight is fine.. Whichever even at dawn or dusk when darkness is heavy that's night.. Even sky has little effect.. Coz which ever overpowers the other.. Same at dawn.. Though little darkness is there at dawn but glory of sun overpowers that cannot be night...
Quran verses are clear.. Read them all and be satisfied.. God will people get guided..
Thanks
