Then came a night that was more than four years long. Last evening, when the sun had set, the moon and stars remained visible in the sky for a while, and then the moon and stars also disappeared and the sky became completely black and dark.. This darkness was very deep. At that time, torches were lit or oil lamps were used to provide light, in which different types of oils and fats were used. More than half of the people around the world who had seen the sun set that night were never able to see the sun rise or set again in their lives. Rather, after that night, more than half of the world's population did not see the moon, stars, sun, etc. again. Neither of them saw flowers, fruits, or crops grow again in the remaining four or five years of their lives. After some time after the darkness of the night spread, the moon and stars began to disappear from the sky in all parts of the world and the darkness of the night became so deep that even their own hands could not be seen without a lamp or torch. The birds that rested in their nests at night also became restless and they left their nests and started flying here and there in the dark sky and due to the intense darkness, they started colliding with each other and falling to the ground and getting injured. Some people who were sleeping under the open sky in the darkness of the night also woke up completely after hearing the noise of the birds and seeing the moon and stars disappearing from the sky. Most people thought that perhaps the moon and stars had stopped being visible due to the clouds covering the sky, but some people found it very unusual because their cattle were barking in a frightened manner and were jumping to escape by breaking the ropes from their pegs.

 In some parts of the world, the sun was setting somewhere, and somewhere it was evening. Some people were eating dinner, and somewhere there were drinking parties. In those days, alcoholism and all kinds of evil were on the rise. The difference between sin and reward had disappeared from people. People did not even know which act was considered a sin and which was considered a sin or an evil. In today's European countries, there were big cities in which all kinds of sins were committed openly. Therefore, wherever evening was falling, there were exactly the same scenes in brothels and gambling dens as today, everything is done openly, but there is no one to stop it. It was the month of June, where it was still day, suddenly a dark curtain slowly spread across the sky. It was neither smoke nor clouds, it was a black sheet that was slowly spreading across the sky and becoming a barrier between the sky and the earth. People did not understand what was happening. Wherever the black sheet was spread in the sky, darkness fell. During the next seven or eight hours, this black sheet spread over the entire sky of the world. The sunlight was hidden behind this sheet, due to which even in the month of June, the cold like December was felt. Now the sky of the entire world was covered with this black sheet. Deep black night fell everywhere. In that era, there was no telecommunication system. Professional horse-borne messengers used to deliver information from one place to another for mail. From the areas where this sheet was spread in the sky during the day, people sent these professional messengers to bring news from other areas. 

These messengers rode their horses and set off towards different areas. Wherever these messengers reached, the same black sheet continued to be seen in the sky. There was a black and dark darkness everywhere. 

 In the areas where this incident had occurred late at night, people started waking up as the night passed, but they were worried that the light of dawn had not yet appeared in the sky. People started waking each other up. There was a strange sadness and silence everywhere in the atmosphere. It seemed as if the entire system of the universe had stopped or the wheel of time had stopped turning. Earlier, time could be estimated from the position of the stars in the sky, but today not a single star was visible anywhere in the sky.

 Like ordinary clocks, Allah Almighty has also installed a clock in the human brain, which we humans of today have stopped using because now we have invented thousands of types of clocks to measure time. But until a few centuries ago, humans used to take a lot of guidance from the clock inside them, and this clock inside a human is very accurate. If any of us is left in a forest for some time where he does not have any modern scientific facilities, then after a few days many such senses will awaken and start working within his being and brain that no person today is aware of before. The foremost among them will be the human clock that measures time, which will tell the time exactly.

These people also did not have the facilities like today.
