Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (And the day when it reveals it)

Exegesis of His saying, the Exalted: (And the day when it reveals it)

Allah the Exalted said: [Surat al-Shams: 3-4]: This is a contrast. The day, when it reveals the earth, makes it clear and distinct as a day in which things become apparent and clear. (And the night when it covers it): It covers the earth until it is like a cloak spread over something. This becomes clearly evident when the sun sets and you are in an airplane; you find the earth black beneath you because you are now seeing the sun due to your altitude, but the earth beneath you, where the sun has set, you find it black as if covered by a black cloak, and this is the meaning of His saying: (And the night when it covers it).
