It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

(Ayah33){دَآىِٕبَيْنِ :} This is the dual form of the active participle from {’’دَأَبَ يَدْأَبُ دَأْبًا‘‘}, continuous movement, meaning Allah Almighty has set a system and rule for their movement, upon which they are continuously moving; they never stop, nor do they malfunction, nor is there any increase or decrease in their speed.

33. 1 That is, they continue moving constantly, never stopping, neither at night nor during the day. Moreover, they follow one another, but there is never any mutual collision or clash between them.

33. 2 Night and day, their mutual difference continues; sometimes the night takes a part of the day and becomes longer, and sometimes the day takes a part of the night and becomes longer. And this process has been ongoing since the beginning of the universe; not even an atom's difference has occurred in it.
