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

قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ سَرْمَدًا إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ مَنْ إِلَٰهٌ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُم بِضِيَآءٍ أَفَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ  71

 قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلنَّهَارَ سَرْمَدًا إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ مَنْ إِلَٰهٌ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ يَأْتِيكُم بِلَيْلٍ تَسْكُنُونَ فِيهِ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ 72

                               

71.  Say: Have ye thought, if Allah made Night everlasting for you till the Day of Resurrection, who is a god beside Allah who could bring you Light? Will ye not then hear? 72.  Say: Have ye thought, if Allah made Day everlasting for you till the Day of Resurrection, who is a god beside Allah who could bring you night wherein ye rest? Will ye not then see?

Commentary

In this verse, there is a warning for the ignorant people that they bow toward that side where they observe their immediate benefit. They adopt such things or persons as gods which/who do not, but cannot prevent them from following own desires.

It is commanded: Ask from them: If the sun is stopped from rising or its light becomes dimmed and all sources of light are lost, and the night spread in the world always continuous until the Day of Resurrection, or on the contrary, the time of day remains continuous forever until the Day of Resurrection, and the night does never come for rest and quietude, then is there anyone of your chosen gods who may bring night or light? Not at all! None has any such Power save Allaah Almighty. If you cannot think concerning this little matter then either you are blind that nothing can be seen by you or you are deaf that you are told but you do not understand.
