Traduzione dei significati Versetto 17 Sura Al-Baqarah - Traduzione inglese - Dr. Walid Bleyhesh Al-Umary - L'Enciclopedia del Nobile Corano

Versetto: 17

مَثَلُهُمۡ كَمَثَلِ ٱلَّذِي ٱسۡتَوۡقَدَ نَارٗا فَلَمَّآ أَضَآءَتۡ مَا حَوۡلَهُۥ ذَهَبَ ٱللَّهُ بِنُورِهِمۡ وَتَرَكَهُمۡ فِي ظُلُمَٰتٖ لَّا يُبۡصِرُونَ

(17) Their similitude is that of one who kindles a fire; as soon as it casts light on what is around him, Allah takes away their light leaving them in ˹utter˺ darkness^[31], unable to see^[32];

[31] Úulumāt, is an intensive plural form of ẓalmā’ or ẓulmah, i.e. darkness. These are the darkness of doubt and that of Denial (cf. Ibn Kathīr).
[32] The illuminating fire here denotes Belief, which dissipates darkness; their nominal Belief did them as much good as a transitory source of light does in utter darkness. (Ibn Kathīr, Ibn ʿĀshūr)
