Question:
This man says: I am asking about the verse in which He, Blessed and Exalted is He, said:[Al-Baqarah 2:257] What is the light that these people were upon?
Answer:
The light of faith, the light of faith, the light of knowledge, the light of certainty, because faith is a light that Allah casts into the hearts of whom He wills among His servants.
So it is light; the believer looks with the light of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and distinguishes between the harmful and the beneficial, between the good and the bad, between laziness and obedience. It is a light from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Faith is light, and by it the believer distinguishes everything that benefits him in his religion and his worldly life. As for disbelief, it is darknesses. Look at how He singularized the light and pluralized the darknesses, because the darknesses are many and varied.
As for the light, it is one thing. Whoever Allah grants this light will be upon clear proof regarding his affair. On the Day of Resurrection, on the Day of Resurrection, when the believers enter Paradise, the hypocrites will say to them: “Look at us, let us borrow from your light.” Because the light will be stripped from the hypocrites on the Day of Resurrection. Because they believe outwardly but do not believe inwardly. They will be given light as a form of humiliation for them.
Then it will be stripped from them and they will be in darkness. They will say to the believers: “Look,” meaning wait, do not go, leave us so that we may borrow from your light and follow in your footsteps. So the believers will proceed due to the honor of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. “Look” was said, then it was said to the hypocrites:[Al-Hadid 57:13] This is a form of humiliation for them, because you wasted the light in this world: the light of faith, truthfulness, and certainty with Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. So you will be in the Hereafter in darkness from which there is no exit for you. Yes.

Go back behind you and seek light.
