Blessing of Night and Day

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate

Assalaamu alaykum

Allah Almighty says in Surah Al-Furqan,

تَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ بُرُوجًا وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا سِرَ‌ٰجًا وَقَمَرًا مُّنِيرًا ﴿٦١﴾ وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ خِلْفَةً لِّمَنْ أَرَادَ أَن يَذَّكَّرَ أَوْ أَرَادَ شُكُورًا ﴿٦٢

Blessed is He who has placed in the sky great stars and placed therein a [burning] lamp and luminous moon. (61) And it is He who has made the night and the day in succession for whoever desires to remember or desires gratitude. (62)

[Qur'an, Al-Furqan 25:61-62]

Allah makes the night and day conflict with one another for people who want to remember Him. The battle that is happening between the night and day is convenient for the one who really wants to make an effort to remember Allah. Their prayers revolve around that conflict between the night and the day. And every time a whole day has come to a completion or when they got through the night, they turn back to Allah, and they thank Allah for another day they got to breathe on this earth. It is another day of opportunity to serve Allah and earn His forgiveness.

May Allah make today better than yesterday for all of us and increase us in righteous deeds and forgive all our shortcomings. Ameen.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.

And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all.

Wassalaam
