Translation

Do they not see that We made the night that they may rest therein and the day giving sight? Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

Do these deniers of the resurrection not see that I made the night so that they can rest in it through sleep, and I made the day bright for them so that they can see therein and then hasten towards their work? In that repeated death and the rising after it are proofs for the resurrection after death.
