أَلَمْ Do you not alam see tara [to] ilā your Lord rabbika how kayfa He extends madda the shadow l-ẓila And if walaw He willed shāa surely He (could) have made it lajaʿalahu stationary sākinan Then thumma We made jaʿalnā the sun l-shamsa for it ʿalayhi an indication dalīlan
Have you not considered your Lord - how He extends the shadow, and if He willed, He could have made it stationary? Then We made the sun for it an indication.
ثُمَّ Then thumma We withdraw it qabaḍnāhu to Us ilaynā a withdrawal qabḍan gradual yasīran
Then We [retract and] hold it with Us for a brief grasp.
وَهُوَ And He wahuwa (is) the One Who alladhī made jaʿala for you lakumu the night al-layla (as) a covering libāsan and the sleep wal-nawma a rest subātan and made wajaʿala the day l-nahāra a resurrection nushūran
And it is He who has made the night for you as clothing and sleep [a means for] rest and has made the day a resurrection.
