_Footnotes_
- [1] Here, the word duha has been used in contrast to the
night; therefore, it implies the bright hours of the day. A
precedent of it are(verses 97-98 of Surah Al-Aaraf), which
say: Do the people of the settlements now feel secure that
Our punishment will not come to them all of a sudden at
night, while they might be fast asleep? Or, do they feel
secure that Our punishment will not smite them all of a
sudden during the day while they might be engaged in
pastimes?" In these verses also since the word duha has
been used in contrast to the night, it implies the day and not
just forenoon.
