Al Baqarah

HR Background

اَللّٰهُ وَلِیُّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْاۙ-یُخْرِجُهُمْ مِّنَ الظُّلُمٰتِ اِلَى النُّوْرِ۬ؕ-وَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اَوْلِیٰٓـٴُـھُمُ الطَّاغُوْتُۙ- یُخْرِجُوْنَهُمْ مِّنَ النُّوْرِ اِلَى الظُّلُمٰتِؕ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِۚ-هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ(257)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

Allah is the Protector of Muslims; He brings them out of darkness into light[1] while the devils are the supporters of the disbelievers, bringing them out of light into darkness; these very people are the inhabitants of the Fire—they will stay therein forever.

Commentary

[1]

Darkness refers to disbelief and light refers to faith; since there are many types of disbelief and Islam is one religion, the Arabic terms (in the verse) for darkness and light are plural and singular respectively.
