Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Say) O Muhammad, to the people of Mecca: (Have ye thought) what do you say, O disbelievers, (if Allah made night everlasting) everlastingly dark (for you till the Day of Resurrection) such that you see no day, (who is a god beside Allah) other than Allah (who could bring you light) of day? (Will ye not then hear) will you not obey He who made the day and the night for you?
