Exile From Allah: Total Darkness

24:40

أَوۡ كَظُلُمَـٰتٍ۬ فِى بَحۡرٍ۬ لُّجِّىٍّ۬ يَغۡشَٮٰهُ مَوۡجٌ۬ مِّن فَوۡقِهِۦ مَوۡجٌ۬ مِّن فَوۡقِهِۦ سَحَابٌ۬‌ۚ ظُلُمَـٰتُۢ بَعۡضُہَا فَوۡقَ بَعۡضٍ إِذَآ أَخۡرَجَ يَدَهُ ۥ لَمۡ يَكَدۡ يَرَٮٰهَا‌ۗ وَمَن لَّمۡ يَجۡعَلِ ٱللَّهُ لَهُ ۥ نُورً۬ا فَمَا لَهُ ۥ مِن نُّورٍ ٤٠

Another (allegory) is that of being in total darkness in the midst of a violent ocean, with waves upon waves, in addition to thick fog. Darkness upon darkness – if he looked at his own hand, he could barely see it. Whomever ALLAH deprives of light, will have no light.

The Light of Allah – Guidance through it, or Deprivation of Light

This is the Prime Reason for My Objection to Such a Logo Page 5
The words – “Light upon Light” are given in verse 24:35. While they magnify ALLAH, they also refer to His guidance. The word “light” also appears in verse 24:40 where it is used for the strayers who are deprived of the “Light of ALLAH” – meaning depriving the strayers of the “Guidance of ALLAH”.

    Let me write the 2 different statements of Truth next to each other to show you the powerful revelations and the message revealed through them. The statement from 24:35, which also describes the Creator as the Light of the Heavens and the Earth, is regarding His mercy of guidance for those who will it, and those whom He wills; whereas the statement in 24:40 is regarding those who do not deserve His mercy and are deprived of it. So, they are reflecting 2 opposite scenarios – one of guidance and the other of…

    Both of the important revelations are thus revealed to enlighten us to the meaning of ONE GOD as compared to disbelief that amounts to worshiping 2 gods. This is a proven fact that ALLAH guides some humans through His messengers, which is why the Revelation of 1 is given through His Glorified Name letters. On the other hand, the Revelation of 2 is given through the letters of the messenger, as most people disbelieve in the messengers and the message they bring from ALLAH. Moreover, their worship and commemoration…

    number 152 is a multiple of 19 (152 = 19 x 8) and the number 266 is a multiple of 14 and 19 (266 = 14 x 19). Thus, the Sacred Codes of 14 and 19 of the Quran are revealed. The next statement from 24:40 will now reveal the name of the scripture from which the Codes are revealed and the name of the religion for which the Quran was sent down from Heaven.

The number of Allah letters appearing in the sacred narrations of 24:35 and 24:40 also appear in the 2 forms of Shahadah and conform to them.
