Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

                                                           

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا وَٱلنَّوْمَ سُبَاتًا وَجَعَلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ نُشُورًا 47  وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَرْسَلَ ٱلرِّيَٰحَ بُشْرًۢا بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَحْمَتِهِۦ وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً طَهُورًا 48  

47.  And He it is Who maketh night a covering for you, and sleep repose, and maketh day a resurrection. 48.  And He it is Who sendeth the winds, as glad tidings heralding His Mercy, and We send down purifying water from the sky -

47.  Wa  Huwallazii  ja-‘ala  lakumul-Layla  libaasanw-wan-Nawma  subaatanw-wa  ja-‘alan-Nahaara  Nushuuraa. 48.  Wa  Huwallaziii  ‘arsalar-Riyaaha  bushram-  bayna  ya-day  RahmatiH.  Wa  ‘anzalNaa  minas-samaaa-‘i  maaa-‘an  tahuuraa.

Commentary

Subaata – (repose, sleep, rest), it is a Noun from the word sabat, actual meaning of which is “to cut”. Subaat is the thing which separates the mankind from business and becomes cause of comfort.

Tahuura – (that which purifies from filth and nastiness), it is a tense of exaggeration from the word tahar, which means purity. From the same a word Taahir has come out which means “pure”. Tahuur is the thing which itself is pure as well as it purifies the other too. These both attributes exist in pure and clean water.

It is commanded: If you are desirous to know Allaah Almighty, you can know by the difference between Day and Night. The Night is like a covering, which hides the mankind from all around and covers his body like garments. The mankind gives up working, takes rest and then sleeps. When he sleeps then his entire distress and weariness gets away, his body parts feel comfort and he gains pleasure.

 During day time; the human beings get up and jollity is seen everywhere. Moreover, behold a portent of the Omnipotence of Allaah Almighty! When it seems that the earth by dryness and the mankind by heat of the sun have been dying, then winds begin to blow, which is foresign of raining. Then it begins to rain by the Mercy of Allaah Almighty. Pure and clear water rains from the sky, which purifies by washing all kinds of filth and stench.
