Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the saying[At-Tawbah 9:32], is an attribute of Allah taken from this, and is it the attribute of refusal?
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has among His names "Light" and among His attributes "Light." Light is of two types: light that is an attribute of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and created light, such as the light of lamps, the light of the sun, and the light of the moon. This is created light, so its attribution to Allah is the attribution of a creation to its Creator. As for the light of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), this is one of His attributes.
