The Blessed 10 Days Of ZulHajjah
The dawn bears witness1, and [every] ten nights [of the moon]2, and the even and odd [month in which it completes its course], and the night [also] when it departs [that the dawn of the Day of Judgement is certain to come and this world of yours is, gradually, reaching its end]3. Is there in this an evidence for the sensible4? 2. A mention of `every ten nights’ is an obvious reference to the course of the moon because it passes through three distinct phases in each of the ten nights of a month: The first phase in which it journeys to attain its full brightness, the second one in which this state, more or less, remains stable and the third and last phase in which it gradually diminishes in size and finally disappears. This is what Ghamidi sahab says about the ayah mentioned in the original post. Seemingly it has nothing to do with dhul hajj
