Night and Day: Two Blessings to Acknowledge

This verse invites us to acknowledge two daily blessings from Allah.

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيۡلَ لِبَاسٗا وَٱلنَّوۡمَ سُبَاتٗا وَجَعَلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ نُشُورٗا

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.

Quran, Al-Furqaan 25:47

Allah reminds us that He created the night as a garment that covers and protects, and sleep as rest. He also made the day for returning to activity. These three realities are gifts from Him.

We experience them every day without always thinking about them. Recognizing them is already a form of gratitude. It helps us see Allah’s goodness in our daily lives.

Today, before sleeping, say in your mind: 'Thank You, Allah, for this night and for this rest.'
