أَوْ كَصَيِّبٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فِيهِ ظُلُمَٰتٌۭ وَرَعْدٌۭ وَبَرْقٌۭ يَجْعَلُونَ أَصَٰبِعَهُمْ فِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِم مِّنَ ٱلصَّوَٰعِقِ حَذَرَ ٱلْمَوْتِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ مُحِيطٌۢ بِٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ ١٩

Aw kasayyibim minas samaa’i feehi zulumaatun wara‘dun wabarqun yaj‘aloona asaabi‘ahum fee aadhaanihim minas sawaa‘iqi hadharal mawti wallaahu muheetun bilkaafireen

Or [it is] like a rainstorm from the sky within which is darkness, thunder and lightning. They put their fingers in their ears against the thunderclaps in dread of death. But Allāh is encompassing[14] of the disbelievers.

یا آسمانی برسات کی طرح جس میں اندھیریاں اور گرج اور بجلی ہو، موت سے ڈر کر کڑاکے کی وجہ سے اپنی انگلیاں اپنے کانوں میں ڈال لیتے ہیں۔ اور اللہ تعالیٰ کافروں کو گھیرنے واﻻ ہے۔

या[8] आकाश से होने वाली वर्षा के समान, जिसमें कई अँधेरे हैं, तथा गरज और चमक है। वे कड़कने वाली बिजलियों के कारण मृत्यु के भय से अपनी उंगलियाँ अपने कानों में डाल लेते हैं और अल्लाह काफ़िरों को घेरे हुए है।

Translator's notes
English [14] Allāh states in the Qur’ān that He has certain attributes such as hearing, sight, hands, face, mercy, anger, coming, encompassing, being above the Throne, etc. Yet, He has disassociated Himself from the limitations of human attributes or human imagination. Correct Islāmic belief requires faith in the existence of these attributes as Allāh has described them without applying to them any allegorical meanings or attempting to explain how a certain quality could be (while this is known only to Allāh) and without comparing them to creation or denying that He (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) would have such a quality. His attributes are befitting to Him alone, and "There is nothing like unto Him." (42:11)
Hindi [8] यह दूसरा उदाहरण भी दूसरे प्रकार के मुनाफ़िक़ों की दशा का है।
