ٱللَّهُ
وَلِيُّ
ٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُواْ
يُخۡرِجُهُم
مِّنَ

ٱلنُّورِۖ
وَٱلَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوٓاْ
أَوۡلِيَآؤُهُمُ
ٱلطَّٰغُوتُ
يُخۡرِجُونَهُم
مِّنَ
ٱلنُّورِ
إِلَى
ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِۗ
أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ
أَصۡحَٰبُ
ٱلنَّارِۖ
هُمۡ
فِيهَا
خَٰلِدُونَ

Allah is the Protecting Guardian of those who believe. He bringeth them out of darkness into light. As for those who disbelieve, their patrons are false deities. They bring them out of light into darkness. Such are rightful owners of the Fire. They will abide therein.

— Saheeh International

— A. Yusuf Ali
