Will you not then see, It is out of His mercy, (towards you),

جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ

that He has made for you the night and the day,

لِتَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ

that you may rest therein, (during the night),

وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِهِ

and that you may seek of His bounty,

during the day, by traveling, moving about and working.

وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ



and in order that you may be grateful.

So that you may give thanks to Allah by performing all kinds of acts of worship at night and during the day. Whoever misses something during the night can make it up during the day, and vice versa.
