سُوْرَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ
Surah Ghafir (40) — Ayah 61
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ لِتَسْكُنُوا۟ فِيهِ وَٱلنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًا ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ ﴿61﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Allâh, it is He Who has made the night for you that you may rest therein and the day for you to see. Truly, Allâh is full of Bounty to mankind; yet, most of mankind give no thanks.

61. 1 That is, He made the night dark so that the activities of life would be suspended and people could sleep in peace and tranquility.
61. 2 That is, He made the day bright so that there would be no hardship in economic effort and striving.
61. 2 They neither acknowledge Allah's blessings nor do they admit them, either due to disbelief and denial as is the habit of the disbelievers, or due to heedlessness and lack of concern of the obligations of gratitude to the Benefactor, as is the practice of the ignorant.
