Sura 27
Aya 86
86
أَلَم يَرَوا أَنّا جَعَلنَا اللَّيلَ لِيَسكُنوا فيهِ وَالنَّهارَ مُبصِرًا ۚ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآياتٍ لِقَومٍ يُؤمِنونَ

Yusuf Ali

See they not that We have made the Night for them to rest in and the Day to give1 them light? Verily in this are Signs for any people that believe!
  • Night, Day, Rest, and Light: both in the literal and the symbolic sense. Any one with a scrap of faith or spiritual insight could see that the Night is a blessing when used for rest and a curse when used to cover ignorance or sin; and that the Day is for work and enlightenment, and its misuse is gross ingratitude to God. Or, understand Truth and practise Righteousness while it is yet Light and the Message of God is here to guide you: for there comes the Night when Endeavour will cease and there will be no room for Repentance.
