Or (another similitude) is that of a rain-laden cloud from the sky: In it are zones of darkness, and thunder and lightning: They press their fingers in their ears to keep out the stunning thunder-clap, the while they are in terror of death. But Allah is ever round the rejecters of Faith!

Or (the Unbelievers' state) is like the depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean, overwhelmed with billow topped by billow, topped by (dark) clouds: depths of darkness, one above another: if a man stretches out his hands, he can hardly see it! for any to whom Allah giveth not light, there is no light!

或者如遭遇倾盆大雨者，雨里有重重黑暗，又有雷和电，他们恐怕震死，故用手指塞住耳朵，以避疾雷。真主是周知不信道的人们的。

或如重重黑暗，笼罩着汪洋大海，波涛澎湃，上有黑云，黑暗重重叠叠， 观者伸出手来时，几乎不见五指。真主没有给谁光明，谁就绝无光明。
