Commentary

These verses make sense that the mankind are in the darkness (in this world), deliverance from which can be then; when for them, sufficient magnitude of Light is provided. Let’s discuss “What is the darkness”. Mostly these are bestial desires of the mankind, which surround them from all around.

For this, Allah Almighty commands to His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him): We give you this Great Book (Holy Qur’aan), so that you should bring forth the mankind from darkness to the Light and guide them unto the Right Path by Our permission, so that their sense may see that Path which has been prescribed for human beings’ dwelling in this world. Allah possesses all power and all excellences are only in Him collectively. Sense of the mankind requires guidance that it is incumbent on the human beings that they should control their wishes; otherwise those will let them fall in the dry well filled up with rubbish continuously.
