Al-Furqan 25:47

<h2>Evidence of the existence of the Creator and the extent of His Power</h2><p>Here Allah begins explaining the evidence for His existence and His perfect power to create various things and pairs of opposites. Allah says:</p><div class="arabic uthmani">أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى رَبِّكَ كَيْفَ مَدَّ الظِّلَّ</div><p>(Have you not seen how your Lord spread the shadow.)

And it is He who made the night a covering for you, and sleep for rest; and He made the day a revival.
