Surah Qasas ayat 73 Tafsir Quran 28:73

﴿وَمِن رَّحْمَتِهِ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ لِتَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ﴾
[ القصص: 73]

28:73 And out of His mercy He made for you the night and the day that you may rest therein and [by day] seek from His bounty and [that] perhaps you will be grateful.

And of His mercy exalted be He He has made for you night and day that you may rest therein in the night and that you may seek in the day of His bounty to earn your livelihood that perhaps you might give thanks’ for the grace of God during both of these times.

But in mercy to you people He caused the night and the day to vary in duration and undergo constant alternation and successions* that you take your natural repose and recuperate** and be able to accomplish your objects sought after of His bounty to the end that your bosoms may hopefully surge forth and answer thanks

Say: "Tell me! If Allah made the night continuous for you till the Day of Resurrection, which god besides Allah could bring you light? Will you not then hear? ( 71 )Say: "Tell me! If Allah made the day continuous for you till the Day of Resurrection, which god besides Allah could bring you night wherein you rest? Will you not then see? ( 72 )It is out of His mercy that He has made for you the night and the day that you may rest therein and that you may seek of His bounty – and in order that you may be grateful ( 73 ) Night and Day are among the Blessings of Allah and are Signs of Tawhid Allah reminds His servants of His favors towards them by subjugating for them the night and day, without which they could not survive.
He explains that if He made the night continuous, lasting until the Day of Resurrection, that would be harmful for them and would cause boredom and stress.
So He says: مَنْ إِلَٰهٌ غَيْرُ اللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُمْ بِضِيَاءٍ ( which god besides Allah could bring you light? ) meaning, 'with which you could see things and which would bring you relief?' أَفَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ ( Will you not then hear? ) Then Allah tells us that if He had made the day continuous, lasting until the Day of Resurrection, that would also be harmful for them and their bodies would get tired from so much movement and activity.
Allah says: مَنْ إِلَٰهٌ غَيْرُ اللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُمْ بِلَيْلٍ تَسْكُنُونَ فِيهِ ۖ ( which god besides Allah could bring you night wherein you rest? ) meaning, 'to rest from your work and activity.' أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ - وَمِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ ( Will you not then see? It is out of His mercy ) towards you, جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ ( that He has made for you the night and the day ) He created both, لِتَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ ( that you may rest therein ) during the night, وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِهِ ( and that you may seek of His bounty ) during the day, by traveling, moving about and working. وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ( and in order that you may be grateful. ) So that you may give thanks to Allah by performing all kinds of acts of worship at night and during the day.
Whoever misses something during the night can make it up during the day, and vice versa.
This is like the Ayah, وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ خِلْفَةً لِمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَذَّكَّرَ أَوْ أَرَادَ شُكُورًا ( And He it is Who has put the night and the day in succession, for such who desires to remember or desires to show his gratitude. )( 25:62 ).
And there are many similar Ayat.

( Of His mercy ) of His blessing ( hath He appointed ) He created ( for you night and day that therein ye may rest ) that you may rest at night, ( and that ye may seek His bounty ) that during the day you may seek His bounty through knowledge and worship, ( and that haply ye may be thankful ) so that you give thanks for the blessing of the day and the night that He has given you.

It is out of His Mercy that He has put for you night and day, that you may rest therein (i.e. during the night) and that you may seek of His Bounty (i.e. during the day), and in order that you may be grateful.
