But those who disbelieve – their deeds are like a mirage in a lowland which a thirsty one thinks is water until,
When he comes to it, he finds it is nothing but finds Allah before him, and He will pay him in full his due; and Allah is swift in account
Or [they are] like darkness within an unfathomable sea
Which is covered by waves, upon which are waves,
Over which are clouds
darkness, some of them upon others
When one puts out his hand, he can hardly see it
And he to whom Allah has not granted light – for him there is no light
See you not that Allâh, He it is Whom glorify whosoever is in the heavens and the earth, and the birds with wings out-spread. Of each one Allâh knows indeed his prayer and his glorification
And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and to Allah is the destination
Do you not see that Allah drives Clouds, then He brings them togather
Then He makes them into a mass
Then you see the rain emerge from within it
Then you see the rain emerge from within it
And He sends down from the sky, mountains [of clouds] within which is hail
And He strikes with it whom He wills and averts it from whom He wills.
The flash of its lightening almost takes away the eyesight
Allah alternates the night and the day.
Indeed in that is a lesson for those who have vision.
Allah has created every living creature from water
And of them are those that move on their bellies
And of them are those that move on their bellies
And of them are those who walk on two legs
And of them are those that move on their bellies
And of them are those that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills, Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.
