AsadThus it is, because God [is almighty [Sc., "and therefore has the power to succour the believers who have been wronged.] - the One who] makes the night grow longer by shortening the day, and makes the day grow longer by shortening the night; and because God is all-hearing, all-seeing.

Thou hast the power to will anything: Thou makest the night grow longer by shortening the day, and Thou makest the day grow longer by shortening the night..."]
