Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow), Verse 17

مَثَلُهُمْ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِی اسْتَوْقَدَ نَارًا فَلَمَّاۤ اَضَآءَتْ مَا حَوْلَهٗ ذَهَبَ اللّٰهُ بِنُوْرِهِمْ وَتَرَكَهُمْ فِیْ ظُلُمٰتٍ لَّا یُبْصِرُوْنَ ۟

Masaluhum kamasalillazis tawqada naaran falammaaa adaaa'at maa hawlahoo zahabal laahu binoorihim wa tarakahum fee zulumaatil laa yubsiroon

Their similitude is that of a man who kindled a fire; when it lighted all around him, Allah took away their light and left them in utter darkness. So they could not see.
