"التنوير هو خروج الإنسان من قصوره الذاتي المفروض على نفسه"
Simplified meaning
People often hold themselves back due to fear, reliance on others, or lack of confidence. Enlightenment, in this context, is when a person decides to think for themselves and make their own decisions. Imagine a young adult who always depended on their parents for everything. One day, they choose to move out, find a job, and start making their own choices. This step represents moving from a state of immaturity to maturity. They become more independent, learn more, and truly grow as a person. By trusting in their own abilities and not letting fears or doubts control them, they reach a stage of greater understanding and personal freedom.
