Surah Al-An'am (6:122)

اَوَمَنۡ كَانَ مَيۡتًا فَاَحۡيَيۡنٰهُ وَجَعَلۡنَا لَهٗ نُوۡرًا يَّمۡشِىۡ بِهٖ فِى النَّاسِ كَمَنۡ مَّثَلُهٗ فِى الظُّلُمٰتِ لَـيۡسَ بِخَارِجٍ مِّنۡهَا ؕ كَذٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِلۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ مَا كَانُوۡا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ‏ ۝

Awa man kana maytan faahyaynahuwajaAAalna lahu nooran yamshee bihi fee annasikaman mathaluhu fee aththulumatilaysa bikharijin minha kathalika zuyyinalilkafireena ma kanoo yaAAmaloon

And is one who was dead and We gave him life and made for him light by which to walk among the people like one who is in darkness, never to emerge therefrom? Thus it has been made pleasing to the disbelievers that which they were doing.

Tadabbur (Reflection)

Theme of the Ayat

The Difference Between the Living and the Dead: The light of faith guides the soul.

The Insight

The state of a person who was spiritually dead but was granted life (faith) and walks among people with light cannot be equal to one who remains in deep spiritual darkness. **Seek the light of conviction.** Recognize that true life is spiritual. Your faith and clarity of vision are your greatest assets, guiding your steps through the world's confusions.
