اُحِلَّ لَـکُمۡ لَيۡلَةَ الصِّيَامِ الرَّفَثُ اِلٰى نِسَآٮِٕكُمۡؕ هُنَّ لِبَاسٌ لَّـكُمۡ وَاَنۡـتُمۡ لِبَاسٌ لَّهُنَّ ؕ عَلِمَ اللّٰهُ اَنَّکُمۡ كُنۡتُمۡ تَخۡتَانُوۡنَ اَنۡفُسَکُمۡ فَتَابَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَعَفَا عَنۡكُمۡۚ فَالۡـــٰٔنَ بَاشِرُوۡهُنَّ وَابۡتَغُوۡا مَا کَتَبَ اللّٰهُ لَـكُمۡ وَكُلُوۡا وَاشۡرَبُوۡا حَتّٰى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَـكُمُ الۡخَـيۡطُ الۡاَبۡيَضُ مِنَ الۡخَـيۡطِ الۡاَسۡوَدِ مِنَ الۡفَجۡرِؕ ثُمَّ اَتِمُّوا الصِّيَامَ اِلَى الَّيۡلِۚ وَلَا تُبَاشِرُوۡهُنَّ وَاَنۡـتُمۡ عٰكِفُوۡنَ فِى الۡمَسٰجِدِؕ تِلۡكَ حُدُوۡدُ اللّٰهِ فَلَا تَقۡرَبُوۡهَا ؕ كَذٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللّٰهُ اٰيٰتِهٖ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَّقُوۡنَ ١٨٧
It has been made permissible for you the night preceding fasting to go to your wives [for sexual relations]. They are a clothing for you and you are a clothing for them. Allāh knows that you used to deceive yourselves, so He accepted your repentance and forgave you. So now, have relations with them and seek that which Allāh has decreed for you [i.e., offspring]. And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night]. Then complete the fast until the night [i.e., sunset]. And do not have relations with them as long as you are staying for worship in the mosques. These are the limits [set by] Allāh, so do not approach them. Thus does Allāh make clear His verses [i.e., ordinances] to the people that they may become righteous.
[Al-Quran 2:187, Translation: Saheeh International]
The Dawn (الۡفَجۡرِ) is the time which commences the Day (Morning prayer time) for Muslims.
Subah-e-Sadiq (The True Dawn) is a horizontal white thread that appears in the sky every morning at dawn. This ushers in the brightness of the Day, dispelling the darkness of the Night.
On the contrary, there is an astronomical phenomenon known to Muslims as Subah-e-Kazib (The Lying Morning). It is a vertical streak of light, like a fox's tail, and on both its side is darkness. It does not usher in the Day.
The following is a photo of a vertical streak of light taken around midnight during an aurora sighting:

Muslims and Jews begin the Day in the evening, while for Christians, Ancient Rome and Ancient Egypt (now known as Civil time) the date changes at midnight.
Sun-worship, speaking animals, high-technology are among the topics dealt with in
Surah an-Naml in The Quran.
Surah an-Naml begins with the mention of Moses (Musa عليه السلام) and the Pharaoh, and then David (Daud عليه السلام) and Solomon (Sulaiman عليه السلام), who were granted the ability speak with animals. It mentions the Sun-worshipping people of the country Saba (Sheba). It was a flourishing civilisation who had been given from everything. At the same time, the Allah-worshipping kingdom of Solomon also flourished, and they had also been given from everything. The Queen of Saba admits that they had been wronging their nafs by worshipping the Sun. Then, it also mentions the corrupt Thamud who tried to kill their Messenger of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى . The homosexual people to whom Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى sent Lot (Lut عليه السلام) are mentioned. A series of questions follow establishing Allah alone as the only Deity, only One worthy of worship. Moreover, deep within the darkness of the Earth is a creature that will be revealed near end-times, a creature that will speak with humans, because the people did not believe.
In the modern world, countries with high-technology are also seeing a rise in secularism, women-empowerment, liberalism, homosexuality, worship of mythological entities, while overt and covert Sun-worship also persists. Civil time and the solar calendar is in use worldwide.
So, the surah concludes:
And say [(O Muhammad SAW) to these polytheists and pagans etc.]: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah. He will show you His Ayat (signs, in yourselves, and in the universe or punishments, etc.), and you shall recognise them. And your Lord is not unaware of what you do."
[Al-Quran, Surah an-Naml, Ayat 93; Translation: Mohsin Khan]
