The Holy Quran 40:61 — Surah Ghafir

Arabic text

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ لِتَسْكُنُوا۟ فِيهِ وَٱلنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًا ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ

Translation

It is Allaah Who has made the night for you to rest, and has made the day for you to see (so that you fulfil your tasks). Without doubt, Allaah is Full of Grace (always giving) towards mankind, but most people are ungrateful (and fail to worship Him when it is He Who gives them all they have).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The blessing of day and night: in the coolness and darkness of the night people generally sleep and rest. When day comes, refreshed, they become occupied with their work in its light; at that time there is hardly any need for artificial lights in order to see and move about.
