Surah Baqarah Verse 257 Allah is the Guardian of the believers Interpretation Al Quran 2:257 Arabic

Translation: Surah Baqarah Verse 257: Allah is the Guardian of those who believe; Allah brings them out of darkness into the light. As for those who disbelieve, their guardians are the Taghut (false deities/tyrants); they lead... ...them from the light into darkness. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally. Allah is the Guardian of the believers—He brings them out of darkness and into light. As for the disbelievers, their guardians are false gods who lead them out of light and into darkness. It is they who will be the residents of the Fire. They will be there forever. Interpretation: Allah takes charge of those who believe in Him, granting them success and victory, and bringing them out of the darkness of disbelief and ignorance into the light of faith and knowledge. As for those who disbelieve, their guardians are the false deities and idols that made disbelief appear attractive to them leading them out of the light of faith and knowledge into the darkness of disbelief and ignorance. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will remain there forever. Having mentioned the two groups, Allah set forth two parables concerning them, saying... Allah stated that whoever follows what pleases Him, He will guide him to the paths of peace, that is Islam, or Paradise. Verily, Allah delivers His believing servants from the darkness of disbelief, doubt and hesitation, to the light of the plain, clear, explained, easy and unequivocal truth. He also stated that Shaytan is the supporter of the disbelievers who beautifies the paths of ignorance and misguidance that they follow, thus causing them to deviate from the true path into disbelief and wickedness. أُولَـئِكَ أَصْحَـبُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـلِدُونَ (Those are the dwellers of the Fire, and they will abide therein forever.) This is why Allah mentioned the light in the singular while mentioned the darkness in the plural, because truth is one, while disbelief comes as several types, all of which are false. Similarly, Allah said, وَأَنَّ هَـذَا صِرَطِي مُسْتَقِيمًا فَاتَّبِعُوهُ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَن سَبِيلِهِ ذَلِكُمْ وَصَّـكُمْ بِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ (And verily, this is my straight path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you away from His path. This He has ordained for you that you may have Taqwa) 6:153, وَجَعَلَ الظُّلُمَـتِ وَالنُّورَ (And originated the darknesses and the light) 6:1, and, ظِلَـلُهُ عَنِ الْيَمِينِ (to the right and to the lefts) 16: 48 There are many other Ayat on the subject that mention the truth in the singular and falsehood in the plural, because of falsehood's many divisions and branches.
