The Cow · Juz 3 · Page 43
ٱللَّهُ وَلِيُّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يُخۡرِجُهُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَوۡلِيَآؤُهُمُ ٱلطَّٰغُوتُ يُخۡرِجُونَهُم مِّنَ ٱلنُّورِ إِلَى ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِۗ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ ٢٥٧
Allāh is the Ally1 of those who believe. He brings them out from darknesses into the light. And those who disbelieve - their allies are ṭāghūt. They take them out of the light into darknesses.2 Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.

Commentary on 2:257
﴿اللَّهُ ولِيُّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا﴾ مُحِبُّهُمْ، أوْ مُتَوَلِّي أُمُورِهِمْ، والمُرادُ بِهِمْ مَن أرادَ إيمانَهُ وثَبَتَ في عِلْمِهِ أنَّهُ يُؤْمِنُ. ﴿يُخْرِجُهُمْ﴾ بِهِدايَتِهِ وتَوْفِيقِهِ. ﴿مِنَ الظُّلُماتِ﴾ ظُلُماتِ الجَهْلِ واتِّباعِ الهَوى وقَبُولِ الوَساوِسِ والشُّبَهِ المُؤَدِّيَةِ إلى الكُفْرِ. ﴿إلى النُّورِ﴾ إلى الهُدى المُوصِلِ إلى الإيمانِ، والجُمْلَةُ خَبَرٌ بَعْدَ خَبَرٍ، أوْ حالٌ مِنَ المُسْتَكِنِّ في الخَبَرِ، أوْ مِنَ المَوْصُولِ، أوْ مِنهُما، أوِ اسْتِئْنافٌ مُبَيِّنٌ، أوْ مُقَرِّرٌ لِلْوِلايَةِ. ﴿والَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أوْلِياؤُهُمُ الطّاغُوتُ﴾ أيِ الشَّياطِينُ، أوِ المُضِلّاتُ مِنَ الهَوى والشَّيْطانِ وغَيْرِهِما. ﴿يُخْرِجُونَهم مِنَ النُّورِ إلى الظُّلُماتِ﴾ مِنَ النُّورِ الَّذِي مُنِحُوهُ بِالفِطْرَةِ، إلى الكُفْرِ وفَسادِ الِاسْتِعْدادِ والِانْهِماكِ في الشَّهَواتِ، أوْ مِن نُورِ البَيِّناتِ إلى ظُلُماتِ الشُّكُوكِ والشُّبَهاتِ. وقِيلَ: نَزَلَتْ في قَوْمٍ ارْتَدُّوا عَنِ الإسْلامِ، وإسْنادُ الإخْراجِ إلى الطّاغُوتِ بِاعْتِبارِ التَّسَبُّبِ لا يَأْبى تَعَلُّقَ قُدْرَتِهِ تَعالى وإرادَتِهِ بِهِ. ﴿أُولَئِكَ أصْحابُ النّارِ هم فِيها خالِدُونَ﴾ وعِيدٌ وتَحْذِيرٌ، ولَعَلَّ عَدَمَ مُقابَلَتِهِ بِوَعْدِ المُؤْمِنِينَ تَعْظِيمٌ لِشَأْنِهِمْ.

ٱللَّهُ وَلِيُّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يُخۡرِجُهُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَوۡلِيَآؤُهُمُ ٱلطَّٰغُوتُ يُخۡرِجُونَهُم مِّنَ ٱلنُّورِ إِلَى ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِۗ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ ٢٥٧
Allāh is the Ally1 of those who believe. He brings them out from darknesses into the light. And those who disbelieve - their allies are ṭāghūt. They take them out of the light into darknesses.2 Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.
2:258
أَلَمۡ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِي حَآجَّ إِبۡرَٰهِـۧمَ فِي رَبِّهِۦٓ أَنۡ ءَاتَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمُلۡكَ إِذۡ قَالَ إِبۡرَٰهِـۧمُ رَبِّيَ ٱلَّذِي يُحۡيِۦ وَيُمِيتُ قَالَ أَنَا۠ أُحۡيِۦ وَأُمِيتُۖ قَالَ إِبۡرَٰهِـۧمُ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأۡتِي بِٱلشَّمۡسِ مِنَ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ فَأۡتِ بِهَا مِنَ ٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ فَبُهِتَ ٱلَّذِي كَفَرَۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٢٥٨
Have you not considered the one who argued with Abraham about his Lord [merely] because Allāh had given him kingship? When Abraham said, "My Lord is the one who gives life and causes death," he said, "I give life and cause death." Abraham said, "Indeed, Allāh brings up the sun from the east, so bring it up from the west." So the disbeliever was overwhelmed [by astonishment], and Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.
2:259
أَوۡ كَٱلَّذِي مَرَّ عَلَىٰ قَرۡيَةٖ وَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا قَالَ أَنَّىٰ يُحۡيِۦ هَٰذِهِ ٱللَّهُ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَاۖ فَأَمَاتَهُ ٱللَّهُ مِاْئَةَ عَامٖ ثُمَّ بَعَثَهُۥۖ قَالَ كَمۡ لَبِثۡتَۖ قَالَ لَبِثۡتُ يَوۡمًا أَوۡ بَعۡضَ يَوۡمٖۖ قَالَ بَل لَّبِثۡتَ مِاْئَةَ عَامٖ فَٱنظُرۡ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِكَ وَشَرَابِكَ لَمۡ يَتَسَنَّهۡۖ وَٱنظُرۡ إِلَىٰ حِمَارِكَ وَلِنَجۡعَلَكَ ءَايَةٗ لِّلنَّاسِۖ وَٱنظُرۡ إِلَى ٱلۡعِظَامِ كَيۡفَ نُنشِزُهَا ثُمَّ نَكۡسُوهَا لَحۡمٗاۚ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُۥ قَالَ أَعۡلَمُ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ ٢٥٩
Or [consider such an example] as the one who passed by a township which had fallen into ruin. He said, "How will Allāh bring this to life after its death?" So Allāh caused him to die for a hundred years; then He revived him. He said, "How long have you remained?" He [the man] said, "I have remained a day or part of a day." He said, "Rather, you have remained one hundred years. Look at your food and your drink; it has not changed with time. And look at your donkey; and We will make you a sign for the people. And look at the bones [of this donkey] - how We raise them and then We cover them with flesh." And when it became clear to him, he said, "I know that Allāh is over all things competent."
