And of His Signs are the night and the day.}{

And of His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon.

Do not prostrate yourselves before the sun, nor before the moon, but

prostrate yourselves before Allah Who created them, if it is Him that you

serve. (prostration)

}-3}4 And the night is another Sign for them. We strip the day from it and they

become plunged in darkness. The sun is running its course to its

appointed place. That is the ordaining of the All-Mighty, the All-

Knowing. We have appointed stages for the moon till it returns in the

shape of a dry old branch of palm-tree. Neither does it lie in the sun's

power to overtake the moon nor can the night outstrip the day. All glide

along, each in its own orbit.

-}1{ We have made night and day as two signs. We made the sign of the

night devoid of light, and made the sign of the day radiant that you may

seek the bounty of your Lord and know the computation of years and

numbers. Thus We have expounded everything in detail to keep

everything distinct from the other.}}

Allah alternates the day and the night: there is indeed a lesson in

it for those who have observing eyes.

}3{Did they not perceive that We had made the night so that they may

repose in it and made the day clear and shining. Surely there are Signs in

this for those who believe. }-}47

Did the unbelievers (who do not accept the teaching of the Prophet) not

realize that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one

united piece, then We tore them apart, and We made every living being

out of water? Will they, then, not believe (that We created all this? And

We placed firm mountains on earth lest it should sway with them, and

We made wide paths in them that they may find their way; and We

made the sky a secure canopy; and yet they turn away from these Signs.

It is He Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon.

Each of them is floating in its orbit.

alternation of night and day, there are signs for the people who

}}3

Surely there are countless signs for those who use their common

sense; they can see in the creation of the heavens and the earth, in

the alternation of the night and day, in the ships that sail the oceanladen with cargoes beneficial to mankind, and in the rain-water

which Allah sends down from the sky and thereby gives life to the

earth after its death and spreads over it all kinds of animate

creatures, in the blowing of the winds and in the clouds which

obediently wait for orders between the sky and the earth.

4}{ He it is Who gave the sun radiance and the moon light, and

determined the stages (for the waxing and waning) of the moon thatyou may learn the calculation of years and the reckoning of time.

Allah has created all this with a rightful purpose (rather than out of

play). He expounds His signs for the people who know. Surely in the

alternation of the night and the day and in all that Allah has created

in the heavens and the earth there are signs for the people who seek

to avoid (error of outlook and conduct).

He it is Who has stretched out the earth and has placed in it firm

mountains and has caused the rivers to flow. He has made every

fruit in pairs, two and two, and He it is Who causes the night to cover

the day. Surely there are signs in these for those who reflect.

4}{It is Allah alone Who has made the night that you may rest in it, and

has made the day light-giving. Surely in that there are signs for

those who give heed (to the call of the Messenger).5}1{

Highly blessed is He, Who has made fortified spheres in the heavens and

has set in it a "lamp" and a shining moon. He it is Who caused the night

and the day to succeed each other so that everyone who desires may

learn a lesson or become grateful. 5}{

Allah subjected for you the night and the day.

Behold, for those who believe there are (myriad) Signs in the heavens

and the earth and in your own creation; and in the animals which He

spreads out over the earth too there are Signs for those endowed with

sure faith; and in the succession of night and day, and in the provision

that Allah sends down from the sky wherewith He gives life to the earth

after it had been lifeless, and in the change of the winds: (in all these)

there are Signs for people who use reason. These are Allah's Signs that

We rehearse to you in Truth. In what kind of discourse after Allah and His

Signs will they, then, believe?

-3}1{

He has subjected for you the night and the day and the sun and the

moon and the stars have also been made subservient by His command.

Surely there are Signs in this for those who use their reason.}1{

It is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth, Who sent down water

from the heaven and thereby brought forth a variety of fruits as yoursustenance, Who subjected for you the ships that they may sail in the

sea by His command, Who subjected for you the rivers, Who subjected

for you the sun and the moon and both of them are constant on their

courses, Who subjected for you the night and the day, and Who gave you

all that you asked Him for. Were you to count the favours of Allah you

shall never be able to encompass them. Verily man is highly unjust,

exceedingly ungrateful.

And of His Signs is your sleeping at night.

Have you not seen how your Lord lengthens out the shadow? Had

He willed, He would have made it constant.

}4}7

And of His Signs is your sleeping at night and your seeking His Bounty

during the day. Indeed there are Signs in this for those who hear.}1{

It is Allah Who takes away the souls of people at the hour of their

death, and takes away at the time of sleep the souls of those that

have not died. Then He retains the souls of those against whom He

had decreed death and returns the souls of others till an appointed

time. Surely there are Signs in this for a people who reflect.

}5}5

Have you not seen how your Lord lengthens out the shadow? Had

He willed, He would have made it constant, but We have made the

sun its pilot; then (as the sun climbs up), We roll it up little by little

towards Ourselves. And it is Allah Who has ordained the night as a

garment for you, and the sleep as a repose of death, and the day as

the time of return to life.

"Did you consider: if Allah were to make the night perpetual over you till the Day

of Judgement, is there a god other than Allah who can bring forth light for you? Do

you not hear?" Say: "Did you consider: if Allah were to make the day become

perpetual over you till the Day of Judgement, is there a god other than Allah who

can bring in night for you that you may repose in it? Will you not see?6}45{

He is Allah; there is no god but He. His is the praise in this world and

in the Hereafter. His is the command and to Him will all of you be

returned. (O Prophet), tell them: "Did you consider: if Allah were tomake the night perpetual over you till the Day of Judgement, is there

a god other than Allah who can bring forth light for you? Do you not

hear?" Say: "Did you consider: if Allah were to make the day become

perpetual over you till the Day of Judgement, is there a god other

than Allah who can bring in night for you that you may repose in it?

Will you not see? "It is out of His Mercy that He has made for you

night and day that you may repose (during the night) and seek HisBounty (during the day) that you might be grateful. )Let them bear in

mind) that on that Day when He will call out to them saying: "Where

are My associates, those whom you imagined to be so? "And from

each people We shall draw a witness, and shall say to them: "Do

produce your evidence now." Then they shall know that the Truth is

with Allah alone, and the lies which they had invented will forsake

them.

Ignorant people pass by these signs without giving any heed

'Observe carefully all that is in the heavens and the earth.'

The way of the men of understanding towards these signs.

}4}4

Tell them: 'Observe carefully all that is in the heavens and the earth.'

But no signs and warnings can avail those who are bent on not believing.}65{

Have they not observed the kingdom of the heavens and the earth,

and all that Allah has created and that their term of life might have

drawn near After this warning from the Prophet, what will it be that

will make them believe?

}4543{How many are the signs in the heavens and the earth which people

pass by without giving any heed! And most of them believe in Allah

only when they associate others with Him in His Divinity.

The Creator of the Day and Night is the only true God

Surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the

alternation of night and day, there are signs for men of

understanding; those who remember Allah while standing, sitting

or (reclining) on their backs, and reflect in the creation of the

heavens and the earth, (saying): 'Our Lord! You have not created this in

vain. Glory to You! Save us, then, from the chastisement of the Fire.

5}7{

He causes the night to phase into the day and the day into the night, and

He has subjected the sun and the moon, each running its course to an

appointed term. That is Allah, your Lord; to Him belongs the Kingdom;but those whom you call upon, apart from Allah, possess not so much as

the skin of a date-stone. If you call upon them, they cannot hear your

prayer. And if they hear it, they cannot answer it. On the Day of

Resurrection they will disown you for associating others with Allah in His

Divinity. No one can inform you of the truth save the All-Aware.4}1{

Allah it is Who made the night so that you may seek repose in it, and made

the day radiant. Surely Allah is Most Bounteous to people; but most people

do not give thanks. Allah (Who bestowed all these favours upon you) is your


17/17

Lord, the Creator of everything. There is no God but He. Whence are you,

then, being led astray?

}4{ Do you not see that Allah makes the night phase into the day and makes

the day phase into the night and has subjected the sun and the moon to

His will so that each of them is pursuing its course till an appointed time?

(Do you not know that) Allah is well aware of all that you do? All this is

because Allah, He alone, is the Truth and all that which they call upon

beside Him is false. Surely Allah, He alone, is All-High, Incomparably Great.1}1{

So shall it be because it is Allah Who causes the night to emerge out

of the day and causes the day to emerge out of the night and Allah is

All-Hearing, All-Seeing. So shall it be because Allah, He is the Truth,

and all whom they invoke instead of Him are false. Allah is Most

High, All-Great.
