Tafsir · 17:12

Al-Mukhtasar

I have created the night and the day as two signs indicating Allah's oneness and power due to their differences in terms of being long or short, hot or cold. I made the night dark for rest and sleep and the day bright so people could see and work for their livelihood. This was so that by the alternation of day and night, you could know the number of years and calculate the months, days, and hours that you require. I have explained everything in detail so that things become clear and to distinguish the truthful from the liars.
