Al-Jalalayn Commentary

Say to them ‘Have you considered if God were to make the day everlasting over you until the Day of Resurrection what god other than God as you are wont to claim could bring you night wherein you rest? from any weariness. Will you not then see? the error you are upon when you ascribe partners to God and so repent of it.

(Say) also to them, O Muhammad: (Have ye thought) what do you say, (if Allah made day everlasting) everlastingly bright (for you till the Day of Resurrection) without night, (who is a God beside Allah) other than Allah (who could, bring you night wherein ye rest? Will ye not then see?) will you not believe He Who made the day and the night for you.
