Before reading
An explanation of night, day, seeking provision, and counting years. Reflection material, without prescribing a dedicated prayer recitation. A verse teaching remembrance or discussing healing does not itself prescribe a special recitation of that verse.
Quran · 17:12
Meaning
We made the day and night as two signs. So We made the sign of the night devoid of light, and We made the sign of the day (perfectly) bright, so that you may seek the bounty of your Lord and know the number of years and calculation (of time). And We have explained everything in detail.
