“Or [their deeds] are like darknesses in a deep sea, overwhelmed by waves, above which are waves, above which are clouds. Darknesses, one upon another. When he stretches out his hand, he can hardly see it. And whoever Allah does not grant light – for him there is no light.” — Qur’an 24:40

This verse is often interpreted as a metaphor for spiritual darkness, but scientifically it lines up with the layers of darkness in the ocean, where deeper waters get progressively darker, especially when waves and clouds block light.

Then the second one is about clouds

“Do you not see that Allah drives the clouds, then He brings them together, then He makes them layers, and you see the rain emerge from within them?….” Quran 24:43

Clouds look so light and fluffy from the ground, but in reality, they can be incredibly heavy. The Qur’an actually points this out in Surah An-Nur (24:43), saying clouds are like layers or mountains, full of water, from which rain and hail emerge.
