And He it is Who gives life by breathing the Spirit into the embryo mudgha and brings death and due to Him is the alternation of night and day in darkness and brightness and through increase and diminution. Will you not then comprehend? His handiwork exalted be He and so reflect?
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(And He it is Who giveth life) upon resurrection (and causes death) in the life of this world, (and His is the difference of night and day) He changes the day and the night; He makes them come and go, increase and decrease in length; the brightness of day and darkness of night-all these are a sign that Allah will bring the dead back to life. (Have ye then no sense) do you then not believe in resurrection after death?
