Allah Swears by Dawn? | A Reflection on Surah Al-Fajr

In the Quran, when Allah swears by something, it isn’t casual — it’s a divine way of highlighting its importance. One of the most beautiful examples is found at the beginning of Surah Al-Fajr, where Allah says: “By the dawn…” But what’s so special about the dawn? Allah swears by dawn to remind us of its powerful meaning — a time when darkness gives way to light, when hope rises after hardship.

At Roots Muslim School, we believe every Quranic verse holds a personal message for every learner. Let’s reflect on the deeper meaning behind this powerful oath and how it builds our connection with Allah and His Book.

Allah swears by dawn

🌟 Dawn — More Than a Sunrise

The dawn is not just the start of a new day. It symbolizes:

  • Hope after despair
  • Light after darkness
  • A fresh start after mistakes

Just as the darkest night is always followed by dawn, every difficulty is followed by ease — a reminder Allah gives us again and again in the Quran.
