An-Nur 24:40 او كظلمات في بحر لجي يغشاه موج من فوقه موج من فوقه سحاب ظلمات بعضها فوق بعض اذا اخرج يده لم يكد يراها ومن لم يجعل الله له نورا فما له من نور ٤٠
أَوۡ
كَظُلُمَٰتٖ
فِي
بَحۡرٖ
لُّجِّيّٖ

مَوۡجٞ
مِّن
فَوۡقِهِۦ
مَوۡجٞ
مِّن
فَوۡقِهِۦ
سَحَابٞۚ
ظُلُمَٰتُۢ
بَعۡضُهَا
فَوۡقَ
بَعۡضٍ
إِذَآ
أَخۡرَجَ
يَدَهُۥ
لَمۡ
يَكَدۡ
يَرَىٰهَاۗ
وَمَن
لَّمۡ
يَجۡعَلِ
ٱللَّهُ
لَهُۥ
نُورٗا
فَمَا
لَهُۥ
مِن
نُّورٍ
