I. Al-Ghurub
Sunset

II. Al-Shafaq
Twilight "The beginning of the darkness of night. When the darkness becomes confused & obstructs the view of the aspects of things."

III. Al-Ghasaq
"Fully dark. The night poured down upon the small mountains & covered them with darkness."

IV. Al-Sudfa
"The commingling of light & darkness. Meaning the ‘light’ or ‘the darkness’; or the darkness and the light are called by one and the same name because each of them comes upon the other".

V. Al-Fahma
"The most intense blackness of the night: so called because of its heat; for the first part of the night is hotter than its last part."

VI. Al-Buhra
Midnight. "The night reached the point when all its stars shone."

VII. Al-Sahar
"The last part of the night. The time of the departure of the night and the coming of the day. The time of the breathing of the dawn."

VIII. Al-Fajr Al-Katheb
False dawn. "That which rises without extending laterally. Which appears black presenting itself like an obstacle."

IX. Al-Fajr Al-Saadeq
True dawn. "That which appears rising, and fills the horizon with its whiteness. The day commences."
