Urge for Sleep
\r\n Al-Rum (The Romans) Chapter 30: Verse 23
![](\"/_img/quran-issue715.gif\")
"And of His Signs is your sleep, at night or day as well as your search for His bounties. In this, behold, there are messages indeed for those who pay heed."
Allah has made day and night for work and sleep respectively. But this is not a hard and fast law. So during both day and night we may sleep as well as work our livelihood. This Sign identifies that Allah is not only the Creator but is also extremely Compassionate and Merciful in that He arranges for the needs and requirements of His creatures.
\r\nAllah has placed a powerful urge for sleep in mankind. Sleep overtakes man and compels him to have a few hours of rest in order to be refreshed.
\r\nMan has further been given the appropriate limits and suitable physical and mental capabilities for exploring the means and resources of his livelihood.
