Maarif-ul-Quran (En) - Al-Baqara : 257
اَللّٰهُ وَلِیُّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا١ۙ یُخْرِجُهُمْ مِّنَ الظُّلُمٰتِ اِلَى النُّوْرِ١ؕ۬ وَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اَوْلِیٰٓئُهُمُ الطَّاغُوْتُ١ۙ یُخْرِجُوْنَهُمْ مِّنَ النُّوْرِ اِلَى الظُّلُمٰتِ١ؕ اُولٰٓئِكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ١ۚ هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ۠   ۧ
Allah is the Protector of those who believe. He brings them out of the depths of darkness into the light. As for those who disbelieve, their friends are the Rebels. They bring them out from the light into the depths of darkness. Those are people of Fire. There they remain forever.
Commentary This verse also tells us that faith ('Iman ایمان ) is the greatest blessing and disbelief (kufr کفر ) is the greatest misfortune, and that there is darkness in friendship with those who disbelieve (kuffar کُفار ).
