88. AN - NUR : THE LIGHT
In fact, Allah’s Divine Name “An-Nour” (The Light) is mentioned in several Verses of the Holy Quran. The most remarkable ones are:
“Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth.” [XXIV; 35]
“Light upon Light. Allah guides to His Light whom He wills; and Allah sets forth parables for mankind, and Allah is All-Knower of all things.” [XXIV; 35]
Imam Ibn ‘Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said: Allah, All Mighty, is the One Who rightly guides inhabitants of the earth and the heavens. His Divine Guidance that He casts into the hearts of true believers is like pure oil that almost illuminates before it is burned by fire; but when fire touches it, it illuminates more and more and gives more and more light. In this context, Allah, All Mighty, says:
“They desire to extinguish Allah’s Light with their mouths, but Allah will not allow except that His Light should be perfected even though disbelievers hate (it).” [IX; 32]
In other words, if someone desires to stand against the truth, it is as though he desires to extinguish Allah’s Light.
In another Surah (Chapter) of the Holy Quran, Allah, All Mighty, says:
“Is he whose breast Allah has opened to Islam, and is therefore, in light from his Lord (as he who is a non-Muslim disbeliever)? So woe to those whose hearts are hardened against remembrance of Allah! Such are in plain error!” [XXXIX; 22]
In the same Surah (Chapter), He, Glory to Him, says:
“And the earth will shine with its Lord’s Light; and the Book will be placed (open); and the Prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward; and it will be judged between them with the truth; and they shall not be wronged.” [XXXIX; 69]
In another Surah (Chapter), He, Praise to Him, says:
“They intend to extinguish Allah’s Light with their mouths. But Allah will bring His Light to perfection even though disbelievers hate (it).” [LXI; 8]](https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/s480x480/10485303_720038731417531_1352238016242835485_n.jpg?oh=ff8eb8ab54aa541c5815fc17a5f6d0fb&oe=54DF8DFC&__gda__=1424359233_edaece431265e91684f4a7f526bca84f)
