Light
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[24:40]
Or [else, their deeds are] like the depths of darkness upon an abysmal sea, made yet more dark by wave billowing over wave, with [black] clouds above it all: depths of darkness, layer upon layer, [so that] when one holds up his hand, he can hardly see it: for he to whom God gives no light, no light whatever has he!

* v.40 : I.e., their bad deeds, as contrasted with their good deeds, which in the preceding verse have been likened to a mirage.
* Lit., “one above another.”
