I RECENTLY CAME across this photo taken from space by astronaut Alexander Gerst. On the right is night, on the left is day and in between is the sunset.
Subhan Allah!
No matter the angle that we see a sunset, this everyday phenomenon remains truly magnificent. Day turns to night turns to day. They shorten and lengthen throughout the seasons. And all due to the rotation and movement of Earth along fixed paths through space. A daily reminder of Allah’s absolute power and sublime creation.
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُولِجُ ٱلَّيْلَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فِى ٱلَّيْلِ وَسَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ كُلٌّۭ يَجْرِىٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍۢ مُّسَمًّۭى وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌۭ
Do you not see that Allah causes the night to merge into the day and the day into the night, and has subjected the sun and the moon, each orbiting for an appointed term, and that Allah is All-Aware of what you do? (Luqman 29)
