The Holy Quran 28:72 — Surah Al-Qasas

Arabic text

قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلنَّهَارَ سَرْمَدًا إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ مَنْ إِلَـٰهٌ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُم بِلَيْلٍ تَسْكُنُونَ فِيهِ ۖ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ

Translation

Say, "Tell me. If Allaah makes the day perpetual (unending) for you until the Day of Qiyaamah, which Ilaah besides Him can bring night to you, in which you may find peace? (rest) Can you not see (understand that you are wrong to worship other gods when Allaah is the Most Powerful)?"

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Who made the night and its rest?: that is, if He did not let the sun set and kept it standing over your heads forever, what power could provide you with the rest, repose and other benefits that come with the arrival of night? Can you not see even so clear a truth? Note: the words اَفَلَا تُبْصِرُوْنَ (“Can you not see?”)
