Explanatory Note

The sūrah also refers to the succession of day and night, which are two of God’s great signs that people always overlook, although reflection on them is enough for anyone ‘who would take heed or would show gratitude.’ Had it not been for the fact that God made the day and night to succeed each other in this fashion, no vegetal, animal or human life could have emerged on this planet. Indeed, life would not be possible if the length of the day and night cycle were changed.
