* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱللَّيْلَ لِتَسْكُنُواْ فِيهِ وَٱلنَّهَـارَ مُبْصِـراً إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْـثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لاَ يَشْكُرُونَ }

God it is Who made for you night that you may rest in it and day for seeing — the attribution of sight ibsār to ‘day’ is figurative and it is so attributed because one is able to see in it. Surely God is a Lord of bounty to mankind but most people are not thankful to God and so they do not believe.
