اللَّهُ
وَلِيُّ
الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
يُخْرِجُهُم
مِّنَ
الظُّلُمَاتِ
إِلَى
النُّورِ
وَالَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا
أَوْلِيَاؤُهُمُ
الطَّاغُوتُ
يُخْرِجُونَهُم
مِّنَ
النُّورِ
إِلَى
الظُّلُمَاتِ
أُولَئِكَ
أَصْحَابُ
النَّارِ
هُمْ
فِيهَا
خَالِدُونَ

Allah is the Protector of those who have faith: from the depths of darkness He will lead them forth into light. Of those who reject faith the patrons are the evil ones: from light they will lead them forth into the depths of darkness. They will be companions of the fire, to dwell therein (For ever).
— Abdullah Yusufali
Allah is the wali of the faithful: He brings them out of darkness into light. As for the faithless, their awliya are the fake deities, who drive them out of light into darkness. They shall be the inmates of the Fire, and they will remain in it [forever].
