Transliteration:( Toolijul laila fin nahaari wa toolijun nahaara fil laili wa tukhrijul haiya minalmaiyiti wa tukhrijul maiyita minal haiyi wa tarzuqu man tashaaa'u bighari hisaab )
"You cause the night to enter into the day and You cause the day to enter into the night [59]. You bring forth the living from the dead and bring forth the dead from the living [60]. And You give to whom You will, without any counting [61]."
Allah causes seasonal transitions—in winter, the day shortens as night increases, while in summer, night shortens and day lengthens.
Spiritually, giving power to non-Muslims in Muslim lands is like day turning into night, while Muslim rule over non-Muslim lands is like night turning into day.
Allah creates:
Believers from disbelievers, and vice versa,
Pious from wicked, and the wicked from the pious,
A human from sperm, and sperm from a human,
A bird from an egg, and an egg from a bird.
He controls both physical and spiritual transformations.
“Hisaab” means either counting or beyond expectation.
Allah gives to whomever He wills, either:
Beyond calculation, or
In such abundance that it cannot be counted.
As He says:
“Allah provides for him from where he does not even expect…” (Surah At-Talaq, 65:3)
The tafsir of Surah Imran verse 27 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Imran ayat 27 which provides the complete commentary from verse 26 through 27.
(3:27) You cause the night to pass into the day and the day to pass into the night. You bring forth the living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living, and You give sustenance to whom You will beyond all reckoning.’[24]
24. Those who disbelieved and disobeyed were seen to be prosperous, whereas the believers, with their devotion and loyalty to God, suffered all the deprivation, persecution and torment to which the Prophet and his followers were subjected around the year 3 A.H. The contrasting states of the two groups of men were the reverse of what would naturally be expected. This raised disturbing questions in people’s minds about the underlying wisdom of this phenomenon. The verse conveys God’s answer.
