* Note 081:018.  Is this verse repeated, replicated and reiterated by the next verse?
— Most translators have deemed it so and stated it to be the ‘end of night’ so that the next verse meaning ’emerging daylight’ would lead to the conclusion that the prevailing spiritual darkness was being replaced by the revelation of the Holy Qor-aan.
— But some translators have stated this verse to mean ‘dissipating daylight or beginning of nightfall’ and the next verse as ‘beginning of dawn’ and implied that both these verses jointly cover both ends of the night and day — thus extending the scope to ‘night and day, 24/7, all the time.’
