ٱللَّهُ وَلِيُّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يُخۡرِجُهُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَوۡلِيَآؤُهُمُ ٱلطَّٰغُوتُ يُخۡرِجُونَهُم مِّنَ ٱلنُّورِ إِلَى ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِۗ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ (257)
Allah is the Guardian of those who believe, He brings them out of darkness into the light, and those who disbelieve, their guardians are the tyrants, who bring them out of the light into darkness, those are the Companions of the Fire, they will abide therein (257)
This verse follows the verse that preceded it, and the previous one is the foundation, and this is the fruit so the Almighty told that those who believed in God, and validated their faith, by carrying out the duties of faith, and he left everything that contradicts it, that he is their guardian, takes care of them with his special mandate, and takes care of their upbringing, so he brings them out from the darkness of ignorance, disbelief, sin, heedlessness, and turning away to the light of knowledge, certainty, faith, obedience, and full turn to their Lord, and enlighten their hearts, with what He throws into them of the light of revelation and faith.
The View of the verse
1 - God Almighty called the light one, and the darkness multiple, and the darkness here are the different ways in which man seeks to obtain one thing, which is (happiness), And he who goes from the door of money will not find happiness as a gifts, and he who goes in the door of children will not find there happiness (light), and the only light is in the path of God - the Almighty -
2- Just as the bodies have food, which is food and drink, souls also have food that no one gives to anyone, only God Almighty makes you the one who walks in the direction of (the light) so you get what you want from the food of the souls, which is the path of God, which is the smallest Islam for Him and what is meant by the light in the verse.
3 - Every little one of mine has a guardian who goes with him whenever he needs him, and we are young in the presence of God - the Almighty - that is, whatever our social status, financial condition, or anything else, therefore, we need a guardian for us who is great than the father or brother or otherwise, because perhaps the interests of the father and his son or brother and his brother differ, so he is not considered a guardian after a quarrel, the only one who has no interests between himself and his servant (God - the Almighty -) so God is the best guardian for the believers.
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 (258)
Have you not seen the one who disputes with Abraham about his Lord, that God give him the king, when Abraham said, "My Lord is He who gives life and causes death." He said, "I give life and cause death, Abraham said: For God brings the sun from the east, so bring it from the west, so, amazement who's the one who disbelieves and God does not guide the unjust people (258)
Ibn Al-Qayyim, may God have mercy on him, said
And in this debate there is a very nice joke, which is that the polytheism of the world is based on the worship of planets and graves, then idols were depicted in their images, so the two evidences that Ibrahim inferred included the nullification of the divine, that is a sentence that God alone is the one who gives life and death.
A look at the verse
We have not been contemporary with this story, but we see it with the eye and witness of God - the Almighty - present in all times and all places, and it is the debate between the king (Nimrud) and our master Ibrahim, peace be upon him, and without entering into the debate, we must not enter into a contest with anyone except within the limits that we are on the truth and we want to be saved (mental discussion) By truth to show it, as for controversy for the sake of controversy, it is forbidden in Islam, and on the authority of Abu Umamah Al-Bahili, may God be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: I guarantee a house in the middle of Paradise for one who gives up arguments even he is on the truth, Narrated by Abu Dawood, and Ar-Rabadh: The middle and highest part of Paradise.
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 (259)
Or like the one who passed by a town that was empty of its thrones, He said, "How will God give life to this after its death?" So God die him for a hundred years, then resurrected him, He said, “How long have you stayed?” He said, “Have you stayed a day or part of a day.” He said, “Rather, I have stayed a hundred years, so look at your food and drink, it has not changed, and look at your donkey, and let us make you a verse for the people, and look at the bones, how we spread them and then clothe them with flesh, then when it became clear to him, he said, “I know that God has power over all things” (259)
This man passed by a village that had been destroyed.
Its people died and its buildings were ruined, so he said - in the face of doubt and exclusion: “How can God give life to this village after its death?” That is: that is far away, and it is in this state, meaning: and others like it, according to what he did in his heart at that hour. So God wanted his mercy and the mercy of people, as God made him die for a hundred years. And he had a donkey with him, so he killed him with him. long period.
When the hundred years passed, God sent him
“How long did you stay?” He said, “I stayed a day or part of a day,” depending on what he thought.
And God said, “Rather, I waited a hundred years.” It seems that this response was at the hands of some of the honorable prophets. And from the perfection of God’s mercy to him and to the people is that he showed him the verse with his eyes, so that he could be convinced of it. After he knew that he was dead, God revived him, It was said to him: “Then look at your food and drink, it did not come to pass.” That is, it did not change during these long periods.
A view around the verse
1- The West today claims that it revives the dead after an uncontested process of cooling the organs in a scientific way. They claim that they restore life to humans after they preserved their internal organs separately, In order to revive them one day after reaching a cure for their disease from which they died, after agreeing with a refrigeration science company when he feels that death is approaching or that the doctors said so, or informing one of the relatives of this dead person who wants to bring him back to life again before 6 hours have passed since his death, that is, whether you believe in science, or do not believe that this is possible to happen - We are all in it the same - but we will not lose sight of the fact that this is in the West now.
2 - They also cool some pets and fish to save species from extinction, and they have tried to resurrect the mammoth, the homing pigeon, and even the dinosaur - as far as I know they haven't finished their research yet - by DNA tissue they found her bones in one of the rocks.
3 - Now God - the Almighty - did it thousands of years ago, and it is the resurrection of the dead and their resurrection, and it was a sign for the children of Israel because they do not believe in the unseen, as is the nation of Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace - so the argument and proof had to be in front of their eyes, now the West is mostly non-believers except for a few, so do not be surprised or ignore what they do under the pretext that we do not believe in that.,
And the witness
Were it not for the presence of such a verse in the Qur’an and others like it after a while - the revival of birds - we would have said that the West did what God Almighty did not do, and this is impossible rationally, narration and understanding of my faith, so praise be to God for the blessing of faith, and praise be to God for the existence of knowledge.
Why do we bring back extinct animals?
There is a story told by humans of animals rescued in an ark - two of each kind to survive a great disaster. Today, the great disaster is here, at least for wildlife. Humans are burning up the planet's resources with an unprecedented appetite, changing the climate and taking root in the wilderness, extinction rates are as high as they were during the Cretaceous period, Archer says, when 75 percent of species, including dinosaurs, were wiped off the map. In half a century, the World Wildlife Fund estimates, we've lost more than half of the planet's biodiversity. "We've now entered the planet's sixth mass extinction event," Richie says. “Ultimately, humans need these ecosystems to survive, too. They are our life support system.”
