In the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind some important questions.
It seems compulsory for the serious one who is looking for the truth to have a look at those questions and if possible to answer them.
Allah' questions are many. In this series, these questions are chosen randomly.
---------------
In verses 27:86- 88 of the Noble Quran, Allah asking mankind this question: Do they not see that Allah has made, created, appointed the night that they, like others, may rest therein, and the day bright, for sight so that they seek their livelihood? Surely in that there are signs, indications of His power, exalted be He, for a people who believe, for people who have faith.
Then the verses remind man with the Day when the Trumpet will be blown then everyone will come to Allah on the Day of Judgment abased and humbled.

Verses 27:86- 88 of the Noble Quran give the question of this article and talk about it
The meanings of the verses 27:86- 88
Verse 27:86 says:
Do they not see that Allah has made, created, appointed the night that they, like others, may rest therein, and the day bright, for sight so that they seek their livelihood?
This means that Allah has made the day for people to see in it, so that they may go about their business therein.
Surely in that there are signs, indications of His power, exalted be He, for a people who believe, for people who have faith.
They, the believers are singled out for mention because they benefit from such signs in their faith, in contrast to the disbelievers.
Verse 27:87 says:
And remind them of the Day when the Trumpet will be blown,
This is the blowing of death, and all who are in the heavens, the angels and the earth of created beings will be so frightened, terrified and will die,
Save him whom Allah wills from among the dwellers of heaven e.g., Gabriel, Michael, Isr?f?l and the Angel of Death; these are the top Angels, for they will not die upon the first blowing of the Trumpet, but they will die after that.
And all i.e. the dwellers of the heavens and earth will come to Allah on the Day of Judgment abased and humbled.
Verse 27:88 says:
And you see O Muhammad upon the first blow of the trumpet, the mountains, you notice them, at the moment of the Blast, supposing them to be still, stationary in their place, because of their tremendous size, while they drift like passing clouds, like the drifting of the rain when it is blown around by the wind, in other words, they the mountains will be drifting in like manner until they eventually fall to the ground, whereby they are flattened before becoming like tufts of ‘wool’ [ Read Verse 101:5] and then ‘scattered dust’ [Read Verse 56:6].
This is Allah's handiwork; He has perfected everything that He has made.
Truly He is aware of what you do namely, the disbelievers in the way of disobedience and the believers in the way of obedience.
