Then We pulled it toward Us in a gradual manner.

He is the One who has made the night an apparel for you, and the sleep a means of rest, and has made the day a means of revival.

And He is the One who has sent the winds conveying good news before His mercy, and We have sent down purifying water from the heavens,

so that We revive a dead land therewith, and give drink to the many cattle and humans created by Us.

And We have distributed it (the water) among them, so that they may take lesson. Yet most of the people refused all but ungratefulness.

And when it is said to them, “Prostrate yourselves to the RaHmān (the All-Merciful, Allah),” they say “What is RaHmān? Shall we prostrate ourselves to the one to whom you direct us?” And it increases nothing in them except aversion.

And He is the One who made the day and the night following each other, for the one who wishes to be mindful or wishes to show gratitude.
