(Hast thou not seen) have you not been informed in the Qur'an (how Allah causeth the night to pass into the day) He makes the night longer than the day such that, for example, the night is 15 hours while the day is only nine hours (and causeth the day to pass into the night) He makes the day longer than the night such that, for example, the day consists of 15 hours while the night only of nine hours, (and hath subdued) made subservient (the sun and the moon, each running unto an appointed term) to an appointed time in well know trajectories; (and that Allah is Informed of what ye do) of good or evil?
- 31:2929
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُولِجُ اللَّيْلَ فِي النَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ النَّهَارَ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ كُلٌّ يَجْرِي إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ
Do you not see that God makes the night succeed the day, the day succeed the night? And He has harnessed the sun and the moon so that each runs its appointed course. Surely God is aware of all you do.
