Fajr, or The Break of Day

By the break of day: Four striking contrasts are mentioned, to show God's Power and Justice, and appeal to those who understand". The first is the glory and the mystery of the break of day.It just succeeds the deepest dark of the night. When the first rays of light break through. Few people except those actually in personal touch with nature can feel its compelling power. In respect both of beauty and terror, of hope and inspiration,of suddenness and continuing increase of light and joy, this"holy time "of the night may well stand as the type of spiritual awakening from darkness to faith, from death to Resurrection.
