وجعلنا الليل والنهار ايتين فمحونا اية الليل وجعلنا اية النهار مبصرة لتبتغوا فضلا من ربكم ولتعلموا عدد السنين والحساب وكل شيء فصلناه تفصيلا

We have made the Night And the Day as two (Of Our) Signs: the Sign Of the Night have We obscured, While the Sign of the Day We have made to enlighten You; that ye may seek Bounty from your Lord, And that ye may know The number and count Of the years: all things Have We explained in detail.
