The Arabic in this verse is somewhat ambiguous whether the day covers the night or the night covers the day. Most translators choose the former, and tafsirs take the view that it means both. Now it is still nonsense that day covers the night, but for now it needs a complete redesign if is to be added back, and may be too complex for this page. See the Counter-arguments section here [[Geocentrism and the Quran]] where 7:54 and related verses are discussed.[[User:Lightyears|Lightyears]] ([[User talk:Lightyears|talk]]) 21:48, 12 September 2016 (EDT)

===Corn has Seven Ears, Each with a Hundred Grains===
Verse 2.261 is obviously a parable about bountiful rewards. No-one thought grain had 7 ears. It fits with the parable of Joseph in 12.43 etc where he has a vision of 7 ears of green grain representing 7 good years.
