﴿ يَهْدِى بِهِ ٱللَّهُ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ رِضْوَٰنَهُۥ سُبُلَ ٱلسَّلَٰمِ وَيُخْرِجُهُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ بِإِذْنِهِۦ وَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍۢ مُّسْتَقِيمٍۢ ﴾

“through which God shows unto all that seek His goodly acceptance the paths leading to salvation and, by His grace, brings them out of the depths of darkness into the light and guides them onto a straight way.”

(Whereby) i.e. through Muhammad and the Qur'an (Allah guideth him who seeketh His good pleasure) His divine Oneness (unto paths of peace) the religion of Islam, and the Peace (al-Salam) is Allah. (He bringeth them out of darkness unto light) He brings them out of disbelief to faith (by His decree) by His command; it is also said that this means: by His given success and grace, (and guideth them unto a straight path) He confirms them on that religion after they accept it.
