What is the difference between major and minor sins in Islam? -Major sins in Islam are those explicitly warned against in the Quran and Sunnah, often associated with severe punishments, curses, or prescribed punishment. -Scholars define major sins as those that involve divine wrath, warnings of Hell, or explicit punishments in Islamic law. -Minor sins, while still sinful, do not carry specified punishments but can turn into major sins if done persistently or without remorse.

The Arabic word Taghabun (great loss or deprivation) comes from the word Ghabn, which means loss when buying or selling, or selling someone short. The Day of Resurrection is called Yawm At-Taghabun because of what will become apparent on that day of the loss of those who followed disbelief and misguidance, for they have sold their Hereafter for the sake of worldly gain. So their loss will become apparent and whatever profit they made will perish.

What the verse means is that the sun cannot rise at night, because the night is the time for the moon to rise, and the moon cannot rise during the day, because that is the time for the sun to rise. Solar and lunar eclipses do not come under the heading of the catching up that is referred to in the verse.
