On 92:1–4
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى﴿١﴾ وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى﴿٢﴾ وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ ﴿٣﴾إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
92:1-4 The first four verses of this chapter disapprove of the idea of unrestrained freedom of behaviour. This is illustrated with an example of night and of day. The function and purpose assigned to the night is different from the one of the day. Similarly, the contrast between the male and the female is brought to attention, who likewise have different functions and duties assigned to them according to their different physical constitutions. This law also govern the spiritual life of human beings.
