Is the 7artisans af 50mm f 1 8 good in low light?

Yes, on paper it should be a good low-light pick. It's an f/1.8 prime, and the lenses guide makes the point that a 50mm f/1.8 gathers far more light than any kit zoom, for not much money. That's the main reason I'd reach for one in dim rooms, at gigs, or for food and people indoors.

Two things to keep in mind. The lens isn't stabilised, so you'll want a shutter speed you can hold by hand or a camera with good in-body stabilisation. It does have autofocus, which helps in the dark. I don't have test results for its low-light performance, so judge it from the aperture and your own shots.

It's made for full frame and fits a long list of Sony E, Nikon Z and L-Mount bodies. If you're on APS-C, there's a 7Artisans AF 50mm f/1.8 APS-C page for that. For a first kit, pair it with a body as the first camera guide suggests.
