Lail (Night)


10 nights? LAYIL
by Heer Saleti


لیل is being used for days of misery in every literature.

In Sura 89 you will find comparison of two eras one of لیل and the other of فجر .

After fourth verse عاد ، ثمود ، فرعون is described . Why …………? Because their era is described as era of وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ . The days of misery and sufferings for the people but for عاد ثمود and فرعون the same era was of عشرت.

It is important to note لَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ is wrongly translated as ten nights.

This is مرکّب توصیفی which means “عشر “ is used as adjective, describing لیال

It was meant ten nights it would have been عشرۃ لیال
