Sura 78
Aya 11
11
وَجَعَلنَا النَّهارَ مَعاشًا

Muhammad Asad

and made the day [a symbol of] life.1
  • According to Zamakhshari, the term ma'ash ("that whereby one lives") is here synonymous with "life". In the polarity of sleep (or "death") and wakefulness (or "life") we see the allusion to bodily death and subsequent resurrection already touched upon in 6:60.
