Transliteration:( Huwal lazee yunazzilu 'alaa 'abdiheee Aayaatim baiyinaatil liyukhrijakum minaz zulumaati ilan noor; wa innal laaha bikum la Ra'oofur Raheem )
"It is He Who reveals [24] upon His devotees clear verses so that He may bring you forth from the utter darkness to the light [25]. And surely, Allah is Compassionate and Merciful to you [26]."
✅ [24] Revelation – A Divine Gift through the Prophet ﷺ
The clear verses refer to the Qur’an and also to the miracles revealed to the Holy Prophet ﷺ. These are not just signs; they are manifestations of Divine truth. Through them, Allah makes Himself known, and the Prophet ﷺ becomes the mirror of that Divine light. Thus, the Qur’anic revelation is both guidance and a sign of Allah’s love for His Messenger and His creation.
✅ [25] From Darkness to Light – The Transformative Power of Faith
Here, “darkness” signifies every form of disbelief, sin, ignorance, and moral corruption, while “light” refers to faith, guidance, knowledge, and righteousness. The verse describes a spiritual transformation—from falsehood to truth, from sin to obedience. The wording subtly highlights the Prophet’s role in this transition, as he is the means through whom people are brought out of darkness and into light, much like the verse: "That you may bring the people from darkness to light" (Surah Ibrahim: 1). This shows that through the Prophet ﷺ, Allah provides both illumination and purification.
✅ [26] Mercy of Allah – Manifest in Prophethood and Ummah
Allah’s compassion is evident in the fact that He chose you to be part of the Ummah of His Beloved Prophet ﷺ. Being granted the Qur’an, a Messenger, and the chance to be guided is a clear sign of Divine mercy. This verse closes by reaffirming that Allah is ever gentle, kind, and full of mercy toward the believers—He does not leave them in darkness but constantly sends means to uplift and reform them.
