2:257

ٱللَّهُ وَلِيُّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يُخۡرِجُهُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَوۡلِيَآؤُهُمُ ٱلطَّٰغُوتُ يُخۡرِجُونَهُم مِّنَ ٱلنُّورِ إِلَى ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِۗ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ ٢٥٧

Allāhu waliyyul-ladhīna āmanū yukhrijuhum minaz-zulumāti ilan-nūri walladhīna kafarū awliyā'uhumut-tāghūtu yukhrijūnahum minan-nūri ilaz-zulumāti ulā'ika ashābun-nāri hum fīhā khālidūn

Allāh is the Ally105 of those who believe. He brings them out from darknesses into the light. And those who disbelieve - their allies are ṭāghūt. They take them out of the light into darknesses.106 Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.
