Transliteration:( Alam tara ilaa Rabbika kaifa maddaz zilla wa law shaaa'a la ja'alahoo saakinan thumma ja'alnash shamsa 'alaihi daleelaa )
82. This tells us that the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم have seen Allah Almighty with his own eyes. Aand has seen the entire creation being created because the Holy Prophet is the first in the creation of Allah Almighty and everything is created in his presence.Â
Therefore, on the occasion of the first Revelation, the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم recognized Hazrat Jibraeel (On whom be peace) as an angel and whatever he spoke as Divine Revelation. صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم.
Thus if the Holy Prophet had not recognized him, the verse "Recite with the name of your Lord who created" (S96: V1) would not have remained a certainty.
83. It should be remembered that the night is the shadow of the earth, i.e. We have during the night made the shadow of the earth in the world spacious which has caused the darkness.
84. In that the sun would not have risen, or the sun would have risen, but it would not have dispelled the darkness, and the night would not have passed and the day would not have come.Â
85. Due to the absolute power of Allah Almighty, or regarding the coming and passing of the night, in that through the speed of the sun one perceives that night is now approaching.

45. Have you not seen how your Lord spread the shadow. If He willed, He could have made it still — but We have made the sun its guide. 46. Then We withdraw it towards Ourselves — a gradual withdrawal. 47. And it is He Who makes the night a covering for you, and the sleep (as) a repose, and makes the day Nushur.
Here Allah begins explaining the evidence for His existence and His perfect power to create various things and pairs of opposites. Allah says:
(Have you not seen how your Lord spread the shadow.) Ibn `Abbas, Ibn `Umar, Abu Al-`Aliyah, Abu Malik, Masruq, Mujahid, Sa`id bin Jubayr, An-Nakha`i, Ad-Dahhak, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, As-Suddi and others said, “This refers to the period from the beginning of the dawn until the sun rises.”
(If He willed, He could have made it still) meaning, immobile, never changing. This is like the Ayat:
(Say : “Tell me! If Allah made the night continuous for you…”) (28:71)
(but We have made the sun its guide.) means, were it not for the sun rising, it would not be there, for a thing can only be known in contrast to its opposite. Qatadah and As-Suddi said, “The sun is a guide which follows the shade until the shade disappears. ”
(Then We withdraw it towards Ourselves — a gradual withdrawal.) This refers to the shade.
(gradual) meaning slowly. As-Suddi said: “A gentle, concealed, withdrawal until there is no shade left on earth except under a roof or a tree, and the sun is shining on whatever is above it.”
(a gradual withdrawal.) Ayyub bin Musa said: “Little by little.
(And it is He Who makes the night a covering for you,) It covers and conceals all things. This is like the Ayah:
(By the night as it envelops) (92:1).
(and the sleep a repose,) means, a halt to movement so that bodies may rest. For the faculties and limbs get tired from their constant movement during the day when one goes out to earn a living. When night comes, and it becomes quiet, they stop moving, and rest; so sleep provides a rejuvenation for both the body and the soul.
(and makes the day Nushur) meaning, people get up and go out to earn a living and attend to their business. This is like the Ayah:
(It is out of His mercy that He has made for you the night and the day that you may rest therein and that you may seek of His bounty…) (28:73)
(25:45) Have you not seen how your Lord spreads the shade? If He will, He could have made it stationary; instead, We have made the sun its pilot.[58]
58. The word dalil has been used in the sense of the pilot, who is a person trained to take ships safely in or out of a harbor, or along a waterway. The sun has been made the pilot of the shadow because the lengthening out of the shadow and its being rolled up depends on the rising, declining and setting of the sun.
