The Holy Quran 3:27 — Surah Ali 'Imran

Arabic text

تُولِجُ ٱلَّيْلَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَتُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فِى ٱلَّيْلِ ۖ وَتُخْرِجُ ٱلْحَىَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَيِّتِ وَتُخْرِجُ ٱلْمَيِّتَ مِنَ ٱلْحَىِّ ۖ وَتَرْزُقُ مَن تَشَآءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

Translation

"You enter (change) the night into the day and enter (change) the day into the night (Allaah controls all changes). You bring forth the living from the dead (such as a chicken from an egg or a Mu'min from a Kaafir) and the dead from the living (such as an egg from a hen or a Kaafir from a Mu'min) and give sustenance to whoever You desire without count." (Allaah gives unlimited material and spiritual sustenance to whoever He wills.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Signs of the power of Allah: that is, sometimes He shortens the night and lengthens the day, and sometimes He does the reverse. For example, in one season the night lasts fourteen hours and the day ten. A few months later He cut four hours off the night and added them to the day: now the night is left at ten hours and the day has become fourteen hours long.
