یَّهْدِیْ بِهِ اللّٰهُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ رِضْوَانَهٗ سُبُلَ السَّلٰمِ وَ یُخْرِجُهُمْ مِّنَ الظُّلُمٰتِ اِلَى النُّوْرِ بِاِذْنِهٖ وَ یَهْدِیْهِمْ اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ(16)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

Through ˹it,˺ Allah[1] guides the one whofollows His pleasure to ways of salvation; and He takes them out of darkness towards the light with His command and guides them to the straight path.

Commentary

[1]

Some exegetes opined that here the pronoun ‘بِہِ’ denotes the Quran, and others say that it refers to the Final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. In the case of the latter, the meaning would be that Allah grants guidance through the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
