Commentary
'And We made the day' means the one whose sign is the sun. 'A means of livelihood' means a time for activity, which is one of the causes of attainment, which is one of the causes of sustenance. It is life, its time, and its place, revealing what the night has concealed. The verse is from the style of implication: it mentioned clothing first as evidence for the omission of its opposite second, and livelihood second as evidence for the omission of its opposite first.
