Night begins at sunset, as indicated by the Almighty's saying: "Then complete the fast until the night," and the : "When the night approaches from here, and the day departs from here, and the sun has set, then the fasting person has broken his fast." It is recommended to nurture the soul by reciting the Quran and supplications without specifying a particular time or number, and to avoid additional innovations, while being keen to supplicate during times of responsiveness, and with the Greatest Name, and the supplication of Yunus.
