Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 78:10-11). Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, ‘Wa ja’alnā l-layla libāsā (10) Wa ja’alnā n-nahāra ma‘āshā (11)’, ‘And made the night as a covering (10) And made the day for livelihood (11).’ Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created everything very beautifully. ‘ ’, ‘Fa tabārakaLlāhu ahsanu l-khāliqīn’, ‘So blessed is Allah, the Best

of creators.’ (Qur’ān 23:14). Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created everything, earths and heavens for mankind.

Certainly, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the Creator, He always creates. He didn’t stop after creating us. He keeps creating new different things. His knowledge and power cannot be comprehended. Our minds are too weak for it. Our minds are limited to some point, and that is like zero next to the power and knowledge of Allah ﷻ. Therefore, we should submit ourselves. Islam is submission. We should submit in order to be at peace. Otherwise, people who think something of themselves and make judgments claiming that they are professors and doctors by learning a couple of things and who go against Allah ﷻ, their minds are zero; it is nothing else.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created everything as beautiful. And He created this world suitable for people to live in it. It serves those who obey Him. Everything is beautiful here for those who are with Allah ﷻ. And it will be beautiful in Akhirah as well. But nothing is beautiful to those who don’t obey Allah ﷻ.

He ﷻ made the night to cover everything and for people to have rest. And He ﷻ made the day for people to earn their livelihood, to get Rizq. Of course, there are those who work day and night. But more often, people work during the day; there is light. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created the night for rest. And resting is for eight hours.

www.hakkani.org Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla divided the day into three parts with eight hours in each. Eight hours are for people to work, eight hours for worship and eight hours for rest. But people mix them up and do whatever they want. Nights are long in winter and short in summer. People should regulate it accordingly. When people are in bed for more than eight hours, even though they are not sick, it is not good for their bodies. When they sleep less than eight hours, by the wisdom of Allah ﷻ it is enough when it’s for the pleasure of Allah ﷻ. It won’t break the balance.

Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla gave everyone a different strength. He ﷻ gave everyone a different disposition. However, there are limits. And if people keep them, they will be in more comfort; their lives, health and worship will be better. May Allah ﷻ help us all. May we do what He ﷻ shows us and what He ﷻ is pleased with insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
