* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِن جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْلَّيْلَ سَرْمَداً إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَامَةِ مَنْ إِلَـٰهٌ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُمْ بِضِيَآءٍ أَفَلاَ تَسْمَعُونَ }

Say to the people of Mecca ‘Have you considered in other words inform Me if God were to make the night everlasting over you until the Day of Resurrection what god other than God as you are wont to claim could bring you light? daylight hours during which you could earn a living. Will you not then listen?’ to this in a way so as to understand it and so repent of your idolatry.
