Qur’anic Verse (Arabic):

﴿أَوْ كَظُلُمَاتٍ فِي بَحْرٍ لُّجِّيٍّ... ظُلُمَاتٌ بَعْضُهَا فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ﴾

(Surah An-Nur, 24:40)

English Translation:

“Or like darknesses within a deep sea, covered by waves, upon which are waves, over which are clouds—darknesses, some of them upon others.”

Scientific Significance:

Modern oceanography has shown that deep seas contain multiple layers of darkness caused by light absorption, internal waves, and surface conditions. Human beings were unable to explore such depths until the invention of submarines. The Qur’an’s detailed depiction of layered darkness in deep oceans is scientifically accurate and considered a powerful example of knowledge beyond human reach at the time.
