اَوْ كَظُلُمَاتٍ ف۪ي بَحْرٍ لُجِّيٍّ يَغْشٰيهُ مَوْجٌ مِنْ فَوْقِه۪ مَوْجٌ مِنْ فَوْقِه۪ سَحَابٌۜ ظُلُمَاتٌ بَعْضُهَا فَوْقَ بَعْضٍۜ اِذَٓا اَخْرَجَ يَدَهُ لَمْ يَكَدْ يَرٰيهَاۜ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَجْعَلِ اللّٰهُ لَهُ نُورًا فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ نُورٍ۟ ٤٠

English Translation
40Or their deeds are like the dense darkness in the depths of the ocean, covered by wave upon wave, with black clouds settled over them: utter pitch darkness, so that if a person stretches out his hand, he can scarcely see even his own hand. Indeed, whoever has not been illumined by Allah's light, the Quran, cannot escape the darkness and reach the light.
