Hi, and welcome to the forum.
1. Please tell us a little more about yourself and what you want to shoot and what mode you use.
2. You need to be more specific about what you consider "low light" . . . what results have you had? Post a photo with the exif data and we can give you more specific advice.
3. For those of us who have been on the internet since its "birth", writing in all caps is the equivalent of YELLING.

I got your point. I am passionate about leading lines types and conceptual photography. the image i took was in low light picture was blurry and little bit grainy and i was taking photo in auto focus mode

Without seeing a sample photo or the exif data (f/stop, shutter speed, iso), the following are just educated guesses:
1. In auto, the camera is going to adjust the f-stop and shutter speed and iso to give you a "decent photo".
2. The fact that the pic is blurry usually means that the the shutter speed was too low to shoot handheld and/or stop any movement (if you didn't use flash.)
3. The graininess is usually high iso or lens/light/iso combo.
To shoot in low light without flash and depending on the subject, you need a pretty fast lens (min. f/2.8) and a tripod. If you're not sure or don't know about f-stop, etc., try this link for an abbreviated intro to the "exposure triangle" or a more detailed one here.

Guidelines to adding a photo to your post.
1. Resize photo to 1000px on the long side.
2. Resolution set to 72ppi (Pixels Per Inch)
These guidelines will be good for viewing on a computer but will not be good for printing. This will help safeguard your copyright.

To shoot a silhouette, point your camera at the brighter background. The camera will adjust the settings to keep the background correctly exposed, and the foreground will be underexposed and you'll have a silhouetted foreground.

It depends on what you want the final photo to look like.
In general I'd say Aperture Priority and be prepared to bracket your shots.

no its not mine I just want to ask whch settings of aperture nd shutter speed will be required for this kind of image for blurring of background.

This is a little different from your original question which had to do with low light photography, and that is fine to ask more than one question, and it helped that you posted a photo. What you are asking now has to do with "depth of field" and depends on the focal length of the lens you are using. While there are many of us who are willing to help, to give you an entire instruction course in photography is a little difficult through posts.
I gave you some links to help you with the exposure triangle, something that every photographer should be aware of. Did you use them and did they help? Google "depth of field" and you'll get several links for some good articles that explain this, some even on Youtube.
