3 Preface وَالنَّهارِ إِذا جَلّاهاYusuf AliBy the Day as it1 shows up (the Sun’s) glory;The next contrasted pair consists, not of luminaries, but conditions, or periods of time, Day and Night. The Day reveals the sun’s glory and the Night conceals it from our sight. So there may be contrasts in our subjective reception of divine light, but it is there, working all the time, and must reappear in its own good time.
