God be he exalted says: (Or
[the state of a disbeliever] is like the darkness in a vast deep sea,
overwhelmed with waves topped by waves, topped by dark clouds, (layers
of) darkness upon darkness: if a man stretches out his hand, he can
hardly see it! And he for whom Allah has not appointed light, for him
there is no light.)[Surat An-Nur, verse: 40].
The explanation of the verse:
God
be he blessed and exalted talks in this Quranic text about those who
disbelieved in God's verses and denied His meeting and disclaimed the
Prophet. So those people and their works that they have done in their
lives are like a man that runs behind a mirage, panting behind it and
when he reaches it he found nothing but his bad work. And this
unbeliever is like a man living in the darkness of a deep sea and can
hardly see anything because of the accumulated darkness.
Al-Imam
Al-Qurtuby may Allah have mercy on him said: (in a vast deep sea) is
the sea that we couldn't see its bottom and vast means the sea when the
waves clash. And it was recently discovered that there are interior
waves in the deep sees.
Scientific fact:
When scientists went down to the depths of the oceans, they found thatdeep sees havegreat
darkness. And at the depth of one kilometer one could hardly see
something and the darkness increases if the surface sea waves are high
as they contribute in blocking the sunlight.
They
have also found that at the depths of the deep sees, there are internal
waves that no one could see unless he goes down to depths of more than
one thousand meters and these waves could be harder than the surface
waves.
The point of inimitability:
In this Quranic text there are two scientific signs:
1-Talking
about the darkness in the deep sees and this is what scientists have
recently discovered and it wasn't known at the time of the coming down
of Quran.
2-Referring
to the internal deep waves and it was also recently discovered by
scientists and it was mentioned in the verse as Almighty God says: (overwhelmed with waves topped by waves).
