Example sentence

اللَّيْلَةَ اِذْهَبْ إِلَى أَهْلِكَ،

Tonight, go to your family,

اللَّيْلَةَ tonight

A time-word in the object (accusative) shape, which is how Arabic turns a noun into an adverb of time without any preposition: the -a ending alone says 'during/at this night'. So it answers 'when' for the command that follows, pinning the action to tonight. The case ending does the work a separate 'on/at' would do in English.
