He was asked to comment on the Quranic verse Q64:8, “And believe in Allah and His Messenger and the nūr (light) that We have brought down.” He replied that the imams from the Prophet’s family were in fact the light of God (nūr Allah) in the heavens and on earth. Shia exegetes take it to mean “the land of the soul will shine with the Lord’s light of justice and truth during the time of Imam al-Mahdi.” Sufi exegetes take nūr in this case to mean “justice”, or take the statement to mean “God will create a special light to shine on the Earth”. Mainstream exegetes take this statement literally. Exegetes of the rationalist Mu’tazila school of theology of the eighth-10th centuries interpreted the word nūr in this passage in the sense of “the truth, the Quran and the proof” rather than the commonplace meaning of “light”. Another passage of the Quran states “The earth will shine with the light of its Lord” (Q39:69). Al-Ghazali (c. 1058-1111) wrote a treatise on how different types of light should be defined, and how the phrase “God is the light of the heavens and the earth” should be interpreted. Gholan Morshed wrote an article that identified nūr with Muhammad.

Lutfunnesa Hosaini wrote a treatise Tāohīd, part of which discusses the creation of the world from the time when nūr-i muḥammadī emerged to the time when Muhammad was born. To the Sufis, nūr is the first creation of Allah, and all other things and beings were gradually created from it. The Andalusian scholar Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi (1076-1148) elaborated the concept that Muhammad existed before creation. He says the concept is common in Maizbhandari writings, often used to describe the saints or their sensual qualities. The theorists of Sannō Shintō-also called Tendai Shintō-interpreted the Tendai belief in the central, or absolute, truth of the universe (i.e., the fundamental buddha nature) as being equivalent to the Shintō concept that the sun goddess Amaterasu was the source of the universe. One could read and contemplate the extensive writings from various school of Buddhism and walk away with deep insights on the meaning of life, ethics, psychology, human behavior, the nature of consciousness, politics and similarly “secular” disciplines. Ibn Arabi distinguished three types of light: Nûr al-anwâr (The Light of lights), which reveals the absolute reality in its most transcendent aspect, anwâr al-ma’âni (The Light of the intellect) and anwâr al-tabi’â (The Light of nature).

From the first three emerged the angels that held the throne, the seat of the throne, and all of the other angels. The angels gathered behind Adam to see the light. Adam asked the Lord to put the light on his forehead, and the angels came round to where he could see them. Adam wanted to see the light himself, and the Lord transferred it to his index finger. When Adam came down to earth, lights entered his back again, and the nūr was then passed from Adam through the backs of various men and the wombs of women down to the parents of Muhammad. The last part gave rise to the sky, the earth, heaven and hell, and to a part that then gave the light of the eyes of the believers, the light of their hearts, the light of the tawḥīd and the kalima. Jesus said, “The last shall be first.” He also said, “Render unto God what is God’s and unto Caesar what is Caesar’s,” indicating a separation between religious faith and civil authority.

Faith is not without reason. As God’s children, we can stand firm in our faith. Video game creators can add subtle special effects to their environments to make them more memorable or realistic. The “eye” of the intellect is an even more perfect organ of perception, and “light” may refer to this organ. In Arabic the word “light” may also refer to the eye, through which perception takes place, and this may be a more appropriate interpretation. A third interpretation is that “light” is the first light (al-nūr al-awwal) and the real light (al-nūr al-ḥaqq) since it is the only light that does not take its luminosity from some other source. ” and goes from the empirical fact of the existence of something (or of the cosmos as a whole, perhaps) to the existence of a first cause or ground of that cosmos that is, at least in part, not identical to that cosmos. Ivan had at least six wives, several of whom were poisoned or sent to monasteries. In 1984-5 programmer Don Hopkins sent Richard Stallman a letter labeled “Copyleft-all rights reversed”. There seem to be two concepts. The first halal certification issued by the agency was on 12 August 2024 to two local food companies, Dornod Makh Market LLC and Trust Group LLC.
