Night and Day Cycle

Reference to the alternation of night and day in the Quran offers insight into the Earth’s rotation and the resulting cycle which regulates life on the planet, including the behavior and rest patterns of living creatures.

إِنَّ فِى خَلْقِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱخْتِلَٰفِ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ لَءَايَٰتٍۢ لِّأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ

In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, are signs for people of understanding.

The Holy Quran · Aal-i-Imraan (The Family of Imraan) · 3:190

إِنَّ فِى ٱخْتِلَٰفِ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ لَءَايَٰتٍۢ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يَتَّقُونَ

In the alternation of night and day, and in what God created in the heavens and the earth, are signs for people who are aware.

The Holy Quran · Yunus (Jonas) · 10:6

يُقَلِّبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةًۭ لِّأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَبْصَٰرِ

God alternates the night and the day. In that is a lesson for those who have insight.
