Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

Allah it is Who hath appointed for you night that ye may rest therein, and day for seeing. Lo! Allah is a Lord of bounty for mankind, yet most of mankind give not thanks.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

It is Allah Who has made the Night for you, that ye may rest therein, and the days as that which helps (you) to see. Verily Allah is full of Grace and Bounty to men: yet most men give no thanks.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

يقول تعالى ممتنا على خلقه ، بما جعل لهم من الليل الذي يسكنون فيه ويستريحون من حركات ترددهم في المعايش بالنهار ، وجعل النهار مبصرا ، أي : مضيئا ، ليتصرفوا فيه بالأسفار ، وقطع الأقطار ، والتمكن من الصناعات ، ( إن الله لذو فضل على الناس ولكن أكثر الناس لا يشكرون ) أي : لا يقومون بشكر نعم الله عليهم .
