Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Verily, in the alternation of the night and the day and in all that Allâh has created in the heavens and the earth are Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) for those people who keep their duty to Allâh, and fear Him much.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
6. Surely, in the alternation of night and day, and in all that Allah has created in the heavens [11] and the earth, there are many signs for those who are mindful.
[11] The movements of the moon and the sun are not limited to only the benefits mentioned above; rather, it is through their movement that day and night are created, and from them we obtain light during the day and night. From them, seasons are formed and crops ripen. When the moon is in its phase of increased illumination, the sap in fruits increases rapidly, and when it is in its phase of decreased illumination, this process slows down, and so on. In all these matters, there are countless signs of the recognition of Allah Almighty, and for those who reflect upon them, the greatness and majesty of Allah become completely clear to them. Therefore, they begin to fear disobeying Allah.
