وَتَرَكْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذ ٍ يَمُوجُ فِي بَعْض ٍ وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ فَجَمَعْنَاهُمْ جَمْعا ً
Wa Taraknā Ba`Đahum Yawma'idhin Yamūju Fī Ba`Đin Wa Nufikha Fī Aş-Şūri Fajama`nāhum Jam`āan
And We left them until that day to surge like waves on one another. And the horn was blown so We gathered them together.

10:22
هُوَ الَّذِي يُسَيِّرُكُمْ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنْتُمْ فِي الْفُلْكِ وَجَرَيْنَ بِهِمْ بِرِيح ٍ طَيِّبَة ٍ وَفَرِحُوا بِهَا جَاءَتْهَا رِيحٌ عَاصِف ٌ وَجَاءَهُمُ الْمَوْجُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَان ٍ وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ أُحِيطَ بِهِمْ دَعَوْا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ لَئِنْ أَنْجَيْتَنَا مِنْ هَذِه ِِ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ
Huwa Al-Ladhī Yusayyirukum Fī Al-Barri Wa Al-Baĥri Ĥattá 'Idhā Kuntum Fī Al-Fulki Wa Jarayna Bihim Birīĥin Ţayyibatin Wa Fariĥū Bihā Jā'at/hā Rīĥun `Āşifun Wa Jā'ahumu Al-Mawju Min Kulli Makānin Wa žannū 'Annahum 'Uĥīţa Bihim Da`aw Allāha Mukhlişīna Lahu Ad-Dīna La'in 'Anjaytanā Min Hadhihi Lanakūnanna Mina Ash-Shākirīna
He is the One who carries you on land and on the sea. And when you are on the ships and We drive them with a good wind which they rejoice with, a strong gust comes to them and the waves come to them from all sides, and they think that they are finished, they implore God with loyalty and devotion to His system: "If You save us from this, we will be of the thankful."
11:42
وَهِيَ تَجْرِي بِهِمْ فِي مَوْج ٍ كَالْجِبَالِ وَنَادَى نُوح ٌ ابْنَه ُُ وَكَانَ فِي مَعْزِل ٍ يَابُنَيَّ ارْكَبْ مَعَنَا وَلاَ تَكُنْ مَعَ الْكَافِرِينَ
Wa Hiya Tajrī Bihim Fī Mawjin Kāljibāli Wa Nādá Nūĥun Abnahu Wa Kāna Fī Ma`zilin Yā Bunayya Arkab Ma`anā Wa Lā Takun Ma`a Al-Kāfirīna
And while it was running with them in waves like mountains, Noah called to his son, who was in an isolated place: "My son, ride with us, and do not be with the rejecters!"
11:43
قَالَ سَآوِي إِلَى جَبَل ٍ يَعْصِمُنِي مِنَ الْمَاءِ قَالَ لاَ عَاصِمَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ مَنْ رَحِمَ وَحَالَ بَيْنَهُمَا الْمَوْجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُغْرَقِينَ
Qāla Sa'āwī 'Ilá Jabalin Ya`şimunī Mina Al-Mā'i Qāla Lā `Āşima Al-Yawma Min 'Amri Allāhi 'Illā Man Raĥima Wa Ĥāla Baynahumā Al-Mawju Fakāna Mina Al-Mughraqīna
He said: "I will take refuge to the mountain which will protect me from the water." He said: "There is no protection from the decree of God except for those He has granted mercy." And the wave came between them, so he was one of those who drowned.
24:40
أَوْ كَظُلُمَات ٍ فِي بَحْر ٍ لُجِّيّ ٍ يَغْشَاه ُُ مَوْج ٌ مِنْ فَوْقِه ِِ مَوْج ٌ مِنْ فَوْقِه ِِ سَحَاب ٌ ظُلُمَات ٌ بَعْضُهَا فَوْقَ بَعْض ٍ إِذَا أَخْرَجَ يَدَه ُُ لَمْ يَكَدْ يَرَاهَا وَمَنْ لَمْ يَجْعَلِ اللَّهُ لَه ُُ نُورا ً فَمَا لَه ُُ مِنْ نُور ٍ
'Aw Kažulumātin Fī Baĥrin Lujjīyin Yaghshāhu Mawjun Min Fawqihi Mawjun Min Fawqihi Saĥābun žulumātun Ba`Đuhā Fawqa Ba`Đin 'Idhā 'Akhraja Yadahu Lam Yakad Yarāhā Wa Man Lam Yaj`ali Allāhu Lahu Nūrāan Famā Lahu Min Nūrin
Or like the darkness out in a deep ocean in the midst of violent waves, with waves upon waves and dark clouds. Darkness upon darkness, if he brings out his own hand, he could barely see it. And for whoever God does not make a light, he will have no light.
24:40
أَوْ كَظُلُمَات ٍ فِي بَحْر ٍ لُجِّيّ ٍ يَغْشَاه ُُ مَوْج ٌ مِنْ فَوْقِه ِِ مَوْج ٌ مِنْ فَوْقِه ِِ سَحَاب ٌ ظُلُمَات ٌ بَعْضُهَا فَوْقَ بَعْض ٍ إِذَا أَخْرَجَ يَدَه ُُ لَمْ يَكَدْ يَرَاهَا وَمَنْ لَمْ يَجْعَلِ اللَّهُ لَه ُُ نُورا ً فَمَا لَه ُُ مِنْ نُور ٍ

Or like the darkness out in a deep ocean in the midst of violent waves, with waves upon waves and dark clouds. Darkness upon darkness, if he brings out his own hand, he could barely see it. And for whoever God does not make a light, he will have no light.
31:32
وَإِذَا غَشِيَهُمْ مَوْج ٌ كَالظُّلَلِ دَعَوْا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّاهُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ فَمِنْهُمْ مُقْتَصِد ٌ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِآيَاتِنَا إِلاَّ كُلُّ خَتَّار ٍ كَفُور ٍ
Wa 'Idhā Ghashiyahum Mawjun Kālžžulali Da`aw Allāha Mukhlişīna Lahu Ad-Dīna Falammā Najjāhum 'Ilá Al-Barri Faminhum Muqtaşidun Wa Mā Yajĥadu Bi'āyātinā 'Illā Kullu Khattārin Kafūrin
And when waves surround them like mountains, they call on God, sincerely devoting the system to Him. But when He saves them to the shore, some of them return. None discard Our signs except those who are betrayers, rejecters.
