78 An-Naba(النبأ), Ayah 10

وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا 10 ١٠

And made the night as clothing (10)

Tafsir

وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا (and made the night a covering... An-Naba 78:10 ) This points to the fact that man naturally feels sleepy when light decreases and darkness prevails, when there is tranquility all around and there is absence of noises. The verse under comment additionally signifies that Allah did not only give man sleep, but created in the entire world conditions that are suitable for sleep. That is to say: (1) darkness of night; (2) the state of sleep is imposed on all humans and animals simultaneously, so that they sleep at the same time. In this way, there will be peace and tranquility throughout the world. Like other works, if there are different times for different people to sleep, no one will have peace and tranquility.
