وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا وَٱلنَّوْمَ سُبَاتًا وَجَعَلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ نُشُورًا

wahuwa alladhī jaʿala lakumu al-layla libāsan wal-nawma subātan wajaʿala l-nahāra nushūran

And it is He who has made the night for you as clothing and sleep [a means for] rest and has made the day a resurrection.

— Saheeh International

It is He who made the night a garment for you, and sleep a rest, and made the day like a resurrection.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

And it is He Who makes the night a covering for you, and the sleep (as) a repose, and makes the day Nushûr (i.e. getting up and going about here and there for daily work, after one’s sleep at night, or like resurrection after one’s death).

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
