وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا وَٱلنَّوْمَ سُبَاتًا وَجَعَلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ نُشُورًا
Wahuwa alla th ee jaAAala lakumu allayla lib a san wa al nnawma sub a tan wajaAAala a l nnah a ra nushoor a n
And He it is who makes the night a garment for you, and [your] sleep a rest, and causes every [new] day to be a resurrection.
  - Mohammad Asad
He is the One Who has made the night a mantle for you, and sleep a rest, and made the day to rise up again.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
He is the One Who has made the night for you as a cover, and 'made' sleep for resting, and the day for rising.
  - Mustafa Khattab
And He it is Who maketh night a covering for you, and sleep repose, and maketh day a resurrection.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
And He it is Who makes the Night as a Robe for you; and Sleep as Repose and makes the Day (as it were) a Resurrection. 3103
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

It is still the contrast between Light and Shade; but the shade of Night is as a Robe to cover and screen us and give us Repose from activity; and the Light of Day is for striving, work, activity. Or again, the Night is like Death, our temporary Death before Judgment, the time during which our senses are as sealed in Sleep; and the Day is like the renewal of Life at the Resurrection.
