Night into Day
يُولِجُ ٱلَّيۡلَ فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فِي ٱلَّيۡلِۚ وَهُوَ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ ٦
He causeth the night to pass into the day, and He causeth the day to pass into the night, and He is knower of all that is in the breasts.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
He merges the night into the day and the day into the night.
Insight

Reflect
In a hard time, remember that day will come.
