179. Through this statement of approximation we learn that night precedes the day. Thus in Islam the day changes after sunset, after darkness then comes the light. Ignorance precedes knowledge, first is non-existence, then the existence.
180 From this we learn that man must not think that sustenance is the result of his effort to seek it but should regard it as the bounty from Allah Almighty. The effort is merely the means of obtaining this bounty. we further learn that every type of sustenance is good, do not keep your limbs idle . Also, it is better to allocate the day for earning the sustenance and the night for resting. Do not remain awake in the night without a valid reason. Similarly, do not remain idle during the day. If due to unforeseen circumstances a person has to sleep during the day and work at night, this would be overlooked, eg. those who are employed for night duty.
