24:41

أَوْ كَظُلُمَٰتٍ فِى بَحْرٍ لُّجِّىٍّ يَغْشَىٰهُ مَوْجٌ مِّن فَوْقِهِۦ مَوْجٌ مِّن فَوْقِهِۦ سَحَابٌ ۚ ظُلُمَٰتٌۢ بَعْضُهَا فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ إِذَآ أَخْرَجَ يَدَهُۥ لَمْ يَكَدْ يَرَىٰهَا ۗ وَمَن لَّمْ يَجْعَلِ ٱللَّهُ لَهُۥ نُورًا فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن نُّورٍ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

Or their deeds are like thick darkness in a vast and deep sea, which a wave covers, over which there is another wave, above which are clouds: layers of darkness, one upon another. When he holds out his hand, he can hardly see it: and he whom Allah gives no light — for him there is no light at all.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

یا (ان کے اعمال) اندھیروں کی طرح ہیں جو گہرے سمندر میں ہوں جس کو موج کے اوپر ایک اور موج نے ڈھانپ رکھا ہو اور اس کے اوپر بادل ہوں۔ یہ ایسے اندھیرے ہیں کہ اُن میں سے بعض بعض پر چھائے ہوئے ہیں۔ جب وہ اپنا ہاتھ نکالتا ہے تو اسے بھی دیکھ نہیں سکتا۔ اور وہ جس کے لئے اللہ نے کوئی نور نہ بنایا ہو تو اُس کے حصہ میں کوئی نور نہیں۔

French

Ou, leurs œuvres sont pareilles à des ténèbres dans une mer vaste et profonde, qu’une vague couvre, sur laquelle il y a une autre vague, et au-dessus de laquelle il y a des nuages ; des couches de ténèbres, les unes au-dessus des autres. Lorsqu’il étend sa main, il la voit à peine ; et celui auquel Allāh ne donne pas de lumière – il n’y a pas de lumière pour lui.

German

Oder wie Finsternisse in einem tiefen Meer, eine Woge bedeckt es, über ihr ist eine Woge, darüber ist eine Wolke: Finsternisse, eine über der anderen. Wenn er seine Hand ausstreckt, kann er sie kaum sehen; und wem Allah kein Licht gibt – für den ist kein Licht.

Chinese

或者 (那些不信者的行为) 正如笼罩着茫茫海洋的黑暗。那海洋波涛澎湃, 上有乌云 (密布), 黑暗重重, 甚至人看不见自己伸出的手。凡是未蒙安拉赐给光明的人, 他是根本不会有光明的。

Italian

Oppure, le loro opere sono come spessi strati di tenebre stesi su di un mare vasto e profondo, sulla cui superficie s'ergono onde su onde, e sopra il quale vi sono nubi, strati di oscurità, uno sull'altro. Quando stende la propria mano, quasi non può vederla; e colui al quale Allah non concede luce - non c'è alcuna luce per lui.

Spanish

O sus acciones son como una espesa oscuridad en un mar ancho y profundo, que cubre una ola, sobre la que hay otra ola, encima de las cuales están las nubes: capas de oscuridad, una sobre otra. Cuando saca la mano, difícilmente puede verla. Pues a quien Al‑lah no le da luz, para él no hay luz en absoluto.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

یا (ان کافروں کے اعمال کی کیفیت) ان تاریکیوں جیسی ہے جو ایک گہرے سمندر پر چھائی ہوئی ہوتی ہے جس پر لہریں اٹھ رہی ہوتی ہیں اور ان لہروں پر اور لہریں اٹھ رہی ہوتی ہیں اور ان سب کے اوپر ایک بادل ہوتا ہے یہ ایسی تاریکیاں ہوتی ہیں کہ ان میں سے بعض بعض کے اوپر چھائی ہوتی ہیں۔ جب انسان اپنا ہاتھ نکالتا ہے تو باوجود کوشش کے اس کو دیکھ نہیں سکتا اور جس کے لئے اللہ نور نہ بنائے اس کو کہیں سے نور نہیں ملتا۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

Or, their deeds are like thick layers of darkness spread over a vast and deep sea, on whose surface rise waves above waves, above which are clouds—layers upon layers of darkness. When he holds out his hands, he can hardly see it; and he whom Allah gives no light— for him there is no light at all.[2049]

In vv. 37-39 above an appreciative reference is made to a class of men—the lovers of Divine Light and the righteous servants of God. The present and the immediately preceding verse speak of another class of people—the sons of darkness. People of one class accept the Divine Light and walk in it. Their enviable condition is described in the simile, 'light upon light.' The other class of people reject the Divine Light and choose to grope in the darkness of doubts. All their works prove futile and deceptive like a mirage. They love darkness, follow darkness and live in darkness, so their unenviable condition has been very aptly and graphically described in the words, their deeds are like thick layers of darkness spread over a vast and deep sea on whose surface rise waves above waves, above which are clouds— layers upon layers of darkness.

English - Five Volume Translation

Or their deeds are like thick darkness in a vast and deep sea, which a wave covers, over which there is another wave, above which are clouds––layers of darkness, one upon another. When he holds out his hand, he can hardly see it; and he whom Allah gives no light—for him there is no light at all.[2622]

Important Words:

لجی (vast and deep) is relative noun from (lujjun) which is derived from لج (lajja) which means, he persisted in wrangling. لج فی امر means, he persisted or persevered in the affair, or he persisted obstinately in an affair, even if it became manifest that it was wrong; or he persisted in contention. لججت السفینة means, the boat entered the لجة i.e. the main sea, or the fathomless deep, or the great expanse of sea of which the limits could not be seen. بحر لجی means, a vast and deep sea (Lane & Aqrab).

Commentary:

In vv. 38-39 above an appreciative reference was made to a class of men—the lovers of divine light and the righteous servants of God. The present and the immediately preceding verse speak of another class of people—the sons of darkness. People of one class accept the divine light and walk in it with the result that they are doubly blessed, both in this world and in the next. Their enviable condition is described in the simile, "light upon light." The other class of people reject the divine light, choose to grope in the darkness of doubts and misgivings and hanker after the illusory and transient pleasures and profits of this world and end by incurring God’s displeasure. All their works prove futile and deceptive like a mirage. They love darkness, follow darkness and live in darkness and thus their unenviable condition has been very aptly and graphically described in the words, "their deeds are like thick darkness in a vast and deep sea, covered by a wave, over which is a wave, above which are clouds—layers of darkness, one upon another."

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

یا پھر اس کی مثال ایسی ہے جیسے ایک گہرے سمندر میں اندھیرا، کہ اوپر ایک موج چھائی ہوئی ہے، اُس پر ایک اور موج، اور اس کے اوپر بادل، تاریکی پر تاریکی مسلط ہے، آدمی اپنا ہاتھ نکالے تو اسے بھی نہ دیکھنے پائے جسے اللہ نور نہ بخشے اُس کے لیے پھر کوئی نور نہیں

English - Sahih

Or [they are] like darknesses within an unfathomable sea which is covered by waves, upon which are waves, over which are clouds - darknesses, some of them upon others. When one puts out his hand [therein], he can hardly see it. And he to whom Allah has not granted light - for him there is no light.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

یا جیسے گہرے دریا میں اندھیرے ہوں اس پر ایک لہر چڑھ آتی ہے اس پرایک او رلہر ہے اس کے اوپر بادل ہے اوپر تلے بہت سے اندھیرے ہیں جب اپنا ہاتھ نکالے تو اسے کچھ بھی دیکھ نہ سکے اور جسے الله ہی نے نور نہ دیا ہو اس کے لیے کہیں نور نہیں ہے

English - Talal Itani

Or (is) like (the) darkness[es] in a sea deep, covers it a wave, on it a wave, on it a cloud, darkness[es] some of it on others. When he puts out his hand hardly he (can) see it. And (for) whom not Allah (has) made for him a light, then not for him (is) any light.

Chinese Commentary ^*

English - Arberry

or they are as shadows upon a sea obscure covered by a billow above which is a billow above which are clouds, shadows piled one upon another; when he puts forth his hand, wellnigh he cannot see it. And to whomsoever God assigns no light, no light has he.

English - Maududi

Or (their efforts may be likened to those of a man trying to swim in) a deep dark ocean, covered with billows, one over the other, and above it a cloud: darkness upon darkness: so much so that if he stretches out his hand, he cannot see it. There is no light for the one whom Allah does not give light.

English - Ahmed Ali

Or like darkness in a wide, wide sea, waves surging upon waves, with clouds overhanging, darkness on darkness. If you stretch your hand, you could hardly see it. For him whom God does not give any light, there is no light.

English - Yusuf Ali

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!

English - Pickthall

Or as darkness on a vast, abysmal sea. There covereth him a wave, above which is a wave, above which is a cloud. Layer upon layer of darkness. When he holdeth out his hand he scarce can see it. And he for whom Allah hath not appointed light, for him there is no light.

English - Muhammad Ali ^ra

Or like darkness in the deep sea -- there covers him a wave, above which is a wave, above which is a cloud -- (Layers) darkness one above another -- when he holds out his hand, he is almost unable to see it. And to whom Allah gives not light, he has no light.

English - Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan ^ra

Or, their works are like thick darknesses spread over a vast and deep sea, the surface of which is agitated by waves rolling upon waves, above which are clouds; layers of darkness one upon another so thick that when a person holds out his hand he can hardly see it. For him whom Allah grants not light, there is no light at all.
