English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
And a Sign for them is the night from which We strip off the day, and lo! they are in darkness.
English - Five Volume Translation
[a]And a Sign for them is the night from which We strip off the day, and lo! they are in darkness.[3238]
17:13; 40:62; 41:38.
Commentary:
"Night" in Quranic terminology represents the period during which no fresh revelation descends from heaven, and "day" represents the time when a Divine Reformer is present in the world. The verse points to the law of the alternation of day and night and from it draws the moral that as in the physical world day follows night, similarly in the spiritual realm when darkness enshrouds the world, a Divine Reformer is raised to dispel it, and, then, again, after the lapse of a long time, spiritual light disappears, and there is darkness all round. The phenomenon continues uninterruptedly in both the spiritual and physical worlds.
