This is 2:257
اللّهُ وَلِيُّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ يُخْرِجُهُم مِّنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّوُرِ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ أَوْلِيَآؤُهُمُ الطَّاغُوتُ يُخْرِجُونَهُم مِّنَ النُّورِ إِلَى الظُّلُمَاتِ أُوْلَـئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ
Allahu waliyyu allatheena amanoo yukhrijuhum mina alththulumati ila alnnoori waallatheena kafaroo awliyaohumu alttaghootu yukhrijoonahum mina alnnoori ila alththulumati olaika ashabu alnnari hum feeha khalidoona

The Aya says:
Allah (is) director, guarantor of those who made themselves safe (in HIM). He makes them exit from the darkness to the light. And, (as for) the rejecters, their directors, protectors are the big entities of wrong. They make them exit from the light to the darkness. Those (are) companions of Hell. They (are) in her, staying.

My personal note:
The theme of light and darkness is prominent in the Qur’an. Light is where we want to be, in order to help us see right from wrong.

I used as the meaning of WALIYY to mean director as the one whose direction we follow and at the same time is a protector because HE guarantees that that direction is the safe right one.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Allahu: Allah/God
Waliyyu: director, gaurantor (both at the same time) of
Note: the root is W-L-Y and it means direction or following direction. WALIYYU means one with whom one exchanges direction and guarantee and this is considered a form of friendship of some sort. In this case, the relationship of man with God, it the friendship in which man follows God’s direction and God provides man guarantee

This, then means: they made themselves safe.

It means the action of rejection happened by the subject (third person plural pointing to any group that fits the description). It means they rejected or just rejected.
