    Salam to All,

    2187 It has been made lawful for you during the night of fasting to approach your women sexually. They are a garment for you and you are a garment for them. God knows that you used to betray yourselves so He has accepted your repentance, and forgiven you; now you may approach them and seek what God has written for you. You may eat and drink until the white thread is distinct from the black thread of dawn; then you shall complete the fast until night; and do not approach them while you are devoted in the temples. These are God's boundaries, so do not transgress them. It is thus that God makes His signs clear to the people that they may be righteous.

    When is this "white thread is distinct from the black thread of dawn"

    And when is night?

    Is night total darkness?

    God bless you all

      You may enjoy and chill untill the sky start changing its color from dark to light.

      Time is not issue here. enjoyment with (XYZ) is the issue.

      As i explained fasting from XYZ from dawn till dusk.

      I keep thinking about it sometimes strange ideas comes in mind.(fasting from sex is apparent)
      What is not apparent example for a smoker he need to fast from smoking.
      For a drinker he need to fast from drinking.
      For a gambler/gamer he need to fast from gaming.
      For a dancer/singer he need to fast from singing.
      For a liar he need to fast from lie.
      For a milkman he need to fast from adding water.
      For a stocker he need to fast from stocking and show generousity.
      For a xyz he need to fast from xyz.

      Purpose of fasting is to control our shortcomings ( MY CURRENT VIEW ).

      May God guide us to knowledge.

        Restriction is for a specific duration - start moment to end moment.

        So no need to wander in vacuity, brother.

          peace,

          When is this "white thread is distinct from the black thread of dawn"

          I recommend going out at dawn time and observing. You might see something like this

          And when is night?

          All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

                And you people eat and drink during the night till the horizontal white line renders itself for you people distinguishable emerging from unfolding of the day - daybreak?delineated from the horizontal line-layer of black-obscure colour;

                http//haqeeqat.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/temp%2002%20%202.187k%20small%20aftar.gif
                Thereafter, you are directed to complete the fast spatiotemporally towards the setting in of night -Sun set beginning of a new lunar day.

                The theme of Ayah is the sex and eating related activities during specific time location ?locative time adverb is the night of fasting.

                This is the exact point in time when general outlines of ground objects become distinguishable but the detailed outdoor operations are not yet possible, and the horizon is indistinct. This state happens when the geometric centre of Sun is 12 degree below the horizon, and from scientific perspective it is called Nautical Twilight. Immediately before this position of Sun at 12 degree below the horizon, a casual observer would consider the entire sky already fully dark.
                When the Sun ascends from 12 degree below the horizon to 8.5 degree below the horizon, it provides the same level of illumination on the surface of the Earth as a full Moon directly overhead.

                  Salam to All,

                  So it can be said night (layl) starts at Nautical twilight if I understood you correctly

                  God bless

                    No, Night starts

                    The verbal noun signifies a state of rubbing and getting away with ease and smoothly. The Sun touches/rubs the horizon and smoothly disappears whereby the night emerges.
