Ya-Sin · Makkah · Juz 23 · Mushaf page 442 of 604

وَءَايَةٞ لَّهُمُ ٱلَّيۡلُ نَسۡلَخُ مِنۡهُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فَإِذَا هُم مُّظۡلِمُونَ ٣٧

English translation (Saheeh International)

And a sign for them is the night. We remove1 from it the [light of] day, so they are [left] in darkness.

  1. - Literally, "strip" or "peel." Sunlight projected onto the earth is removed from it as the earth turns and night approaches.

Brief commentary

An indication for people of Allah’s Oneness is that I take away the daylight as the day draws to an end, bringing the night, as the day withdraws from it, until the people are in complete darkness.
