وَٱخْتِلَٰفِ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ وَمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مِن رِّزْقٍۢ فَأَحْيَا بِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَتَصْرِيفِ ٱلرِّيَٰحِ ءَايَٰتٌۭ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يَعْقِلُونَ
And [in] the alternation of night and day and [in] what Allah sends down from the sky of provision and gives life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and [in His] directing of the winds are signs for a people who reason.

(And the difference of night and day) and in the alternation of night and day, the increase and decrease of their duration, their coming and going, are a sign and lesson for you, (and the provision that Allah sendeth down from the sky) of rain (and thereby) by means of the rain (quickeneth the earth after her death) after her dryness and exposure to drought are also lessons and signs for you, (and the ordering of the winds) right and left, north and south, as a punishment and as mercy, (are portents) signs and lessons (for a people who have sense) for people who believe they are from Allah.
Al-Jalalayn Commentary
and in the alternation of night and day their passing and their arrival and what God sends down from the heaven in the way of provision rain for it constitutes a means of provision with which He revives the earth after it is dead and the circulation of the winds its alternation between southerly and northerly hot and cold there are signs for a people who understand proofs and therefore have faith.
