A powerful parable in Surah Al-Baqarah vividly depicts the state of those who seek guidance without sincerity or adherence to it. Allah Almighty says, "Their example is like that of one who kindled a fire, and when it illuminated what was around him, Allah took away their light and left them in darkness, unable to see." This parable reflects the condition of those who momentarily see the truth clearly—as if a light illuminates around them—but quickly lose this light due to weak faith or fickleness of heart, thus guidance leaves them, and they return to the darkness of ignorance and misguidance, unable to see the right path.
