الموج في البحر: ما يعلو من غوارب الماء.

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

الميم والواو والجيم أصل واحد يدل على اضطراب في الشيء، وماج الناس يموجون، إذا اضطربوا. وماج أمرهم ومرج: اضطرب ; والموج: موج البحر، سمي لاضطرابه، وماج يموج موجا وموجانا، وكل شيء اضطرب فقد ماج.

    Or (the Unbelievers’ state) Is like the depths of darkness In a vast deep ocean, Overwhelmed with billow Topped by billow, Topped by (dark) clouds: Depths of darkness, one Above another: if a man Stretches out his hand, He can hardly see it! For any to whom God Giveth not light, There is no light!
