The tafsir of Surah Furqan verse 47 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Furqan ayat 45 which provides the complete commentary from verse 45 through 47.
(25:47) It is Allah Who has made night a garment for you,[60] and sleep the repose (of death), and has made day the time of rising to life.61
60. The night is a garment in the sense that it covers and hides things.
61. This verse has three objects:
(1) It provides a proof of Tauhid.
(2) It furnishes a proof of the possibility of life-after-death from everyday human experience.
(3) It bears the good news that the night of ignorance has come to an end and now the bright day of knowledge and guidance has dawned. It is therefore inevitable that those who were sleeping in ignorance, will sooner or later wake up, but those who have slept the sleep of death, will not wake up and will themselves be deprived of life, while the business of the day will go on thriving even without them.
[1030]- Covering you in darkness and providing rest. [1031]- For renewal of life and activity.
