[2.15] Allah will mock at them and prolong
them in sin, blundering blindly.
[2.16] Such are those who barter away
guidance for error, their trade did not profit
(them), nor are they guided.
[2.17] Their example is like one who kindled a
fire, and when it lit all around him, Allah took
away their light and left them in darkness.
They could not see.
[2.18] Deaf, dumb, and blind, they shall never
return.
[2.19] Or, like (those who, under) a cloudburst
from the sky with darkness, thunder and
lightning, they thrust their fingers in their ears
at the sound of every thunderclap for fear of
death, and Allah encompasses the
unbelievers.
[2.20] The lightning almost snatches away
their sight, whenever it flashes upon them
they walk on, but as soon as it darkens they
stand still. Indeed, if Allah willed, He could
take away their sight and hearing. Allah has
power over all things.
[2.21] O people, worship your Lord who has
created you and those who have gone before
you, so that you will be cautious.
