Word وَتُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ - Quran Morphology

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

‘Thou makest the night pass into the day and makest the day pass into the night. And Thou bringest forth the living from the dead and bringest forth the dead from the living. And Thou givest to whomsoever Thou pleasest without measure.’

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

تُو رات کو دن میں داخل کرتا ہے اور دن کو رات میں داخل کرتا ہے۔ اور تُو مُردہ سے زندہ نکالتا ہے اور زندہ سے مُردہ نکالتا ہے۔ اور تُو جسے چاہتا ہے بغیرحساب کے رزق عطا کرتا ہے۔

French

Tu fais pénétrer la nuit dans le jour et Tu fais pénétrer le jour dans la nuit. Des morts, Tu fais sortir les vivants et des vivants, Tu fais sortir les morts. Et Tu accordes Tes dons et richesses sans compter à qui Tu veux. »

German

Du lässest die Nacht übergehen in den Tag und lässest den Tag übergehen in die Nacht. Du lässest das Lebendige hervorgehen aus dem Toten und lässest das Tote hervorgehen aus dem Lebendigen. Und Du gibst, wem Du willst, ohne zu rechnen."

Chinese

[c]“你使黑夜进入白昼, 使白昼进入黑夜;[233] [d]你使死者生, 使生者死。你不计其数地赐予你所意欲的人。”[234]

Italian

Tu fai passare la notte nel giorno e fai passare il giorno nella notte. E Tu produci vita dalla morte e produci morte dalla vita. E Tu dai a chiunque Ti piaccia senza limiti.»

Spanish

“Tú haces que la noche se convierta en día y que el día se convierta en noche. Y Tú haces salir lo vivo de lo muerto y lo muerto de lo vivo. Y Tú das a quien Te agrada, sin medida.”

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

تو رات کو دن میں داخل کرتا ہے اور دن کو رات میں داخل کرتا ہے اور بے جان سے جان دار نکالتا ہے اور جان دار سے بے جان نکالتا ہے اور جسے چاہتا ہے بے حساب دیتا ہے۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

[c]‘Thou makest the night pass into the day and makest the day pass into the night.[393] And [d]Thou bringest forth the living from the dead and bringest forth the dead from the living. And Thou givest to whomsoever Thou pleasest without measure.’[394]

English - Five Volume Translation

[b]Thou makest the night pass into the day and makest the day pass into the night. And [c]Thou bringest forth the living from the dead and bringest forth the dead from the living. And Thou givest to whomsoever Thou pleasest without measure.’[318]

6:96; 10:32; 30:20.

Commentary:

This and the preceding verse point to the immutable divine law that nations rise and fall as they conform to, or defy, the will of God, Who is the source of all power and glory. They also refer to the fulfilment of a great prophecy. A nation which had enjoyed temporal and spiritual sovereignty for a long time was going to be abased, because it had persistently violated the divine law and had become spiritually dead; and in place of it another nation, till now very low in the scale of humanity, was going to be raised to the highest pinnacle of temporal and spiritual power. The sovereignty or kingdom mentioned in the preceding verse refers to both the temporal and spiritual kingdom which was promised to the progeny of Abraham and which the Israelites had enjoyed for a long time. That kingdom was now going to be transferred to the House of Ishmael to find its completest manifestation in Islam. A living nation had suffered death and another, as good as dead, had arisen into life.

The word النھار (day) represents prosperity and power, and اللیل (night) signifies the loss of power combined with decline and decadence. By using this simile, the Quran draws attention to the fact that a people who wish that the night of woes and miseries should never overtake them and that they should ever continue to enjoy the day of prosperity and glory, should so place themselves in front of the Divine Sun as to continue to be illuminated by its ever-effulgent light. In this connection it may also be noted that the Quranic expression, Thou makest the night pass into the day and makest the day pass into the night, does not merely signify "the" alternate ending and beginning of day and: night, but also the conversion of part of the day into night and vice versa, thus hinting at the lengthening of the one at the cost of the other.

The clause, And Thou givest to whomsoever thou pleasest without measure, holds out a promise to Muslims that the glory of Islam will be unparalleled and will last forever. Islam will never be displaced as a religion and Muslims will always continue to be one of the most exalted peoples of the earth till the end of time. The appearance of Ahmad, the Promised Messiah, at a time when the temporal power of Islam was at its lowest ebb and Muslims had also become morally and spiritually degenerate, was in fulfilment of this very promise. Through him Islam has found a new life. It will now bloom and blossom till whole nations shall come under its spiritual sway, and Muslims shall regain their pristine glory and shall become the most dominant people on the face of the earth.
