Surat Al Baqarah (18-20)

{ صُمٌّ بُكْمٌ عُمْيٌ فَهُمْ لاَ يَرْجِعُونَ } [البقرة:  18]

18- They had disabled the functions of their ears, tongues, and eyes, therefore, they do not hear good, do not speak of what may benefit them and do not see the truth. So, how would they be guided and how they will respond to guidance?!

{ أَوْ كَصَيِّبٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فِيهِ ظُلُمَاتٌ وَرَعْدٌ وَبَرْقٌ يَجْعَلُونَ أَصَابِعَهُمْ فِي آذَانِهِمْ مِنَ الصَّوَاعِقِ حَذَرَ الْمَوْتِ وَاللَّهُ مُحِيطٌ بِالْكَافِرِينَ } [البقرة:  19]

19- The example of those people in their suspicion, disbelief, and hesitation is like rain comes down from the sky in a very dark night that contains a fearful and strong thunder and a lightning that shines in brightness. They put their fingers in their ears lest something might harm them. This action does not protect them because Allah encompasses them with His Power and they are under His Will.

The resemblance is: Darkness contains doubts, disbelief, and hypocrisy.

Thunder makes the hearts fall from fears. So, the hypocrite are in severe fear.

Lightening is the light of faith which shines in the hearts of the hypocrites in sometimes.

{ يَكَادُ الْبَرْقُ يَخْطَفُ أَبْصَارَهُمْ كُلَّمَا أَضَاءَ لَهُمْ مَشَوْا فِيهِ وإِذَا أَظْلَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَامُوا وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَذَهَبَ بِسَمْعِهِمْ وأَبْصَارِهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَدِيرٌ } [البقرة:  20]
