Darkness, Thunder and Lightning

It is interesting to see how analogy is used to describe people who don’t want to listen. They rather be in the dark than choosing the right path.  Their situation is described as someone who is in the dark with thunder and lightning. When there is thunder, he will close his ears and when the lightning strikes, he will get little bit of light to move forward and return to the complete darkness soon after.

Al-Baqarah 2:19
أَوْ كَصَيِّبٍ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فِيهِ ظُلُمَٰتٌ وَرَعْدٌ وَبَرْقٌ يَجْعَلُونَ أَصَٰبِعَهُمْ فِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِم مِّنَ ٱلصَّوَٰعِقِ حَذَرَ ٱلْمَوْتِۚ وَٱللَّهُ مُحِيطٌۢ بِٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ

Or [it is] like a rainstorm from the sky within which is darkness, thunder and lightning. They put their fingers in their ears against the thunderclaps in dread of death. But Allah is encompassing of the disbelievers.

Al-Baqarah 2:20
يَكَادُ ٱلْبَرْقُ يَخْطَفُ أَبْصَٰرَهُمْۖ كُلَّمَآ أَضَآءَ لَهُم مَّشَوْا۟ فِيهِ وَإِذَآ أَظْلَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَامُوا۟ۚ وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَذَهَبَ بِسَمْعِهِمْ وَأَبْصَٰرِهِمْۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

The lightning almost snatches away their sight. Every time it lights [the way] for them, they walk therein; but when darkness comes over them, they stand [still]. And if Allah had willed, He could have taken away their hearing and their sight. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.
