May Allah illuminate you with the lights of the Prophet
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people say to another, "May Allah illuminate you with the lights of the Prophet," in the morning. Is this permissible? And if it is not permissible, is it permissible to replace it with "May Allah illuminate you with His light"?
Answer:
You do not say, "May Allah give you a good morning"; rather, you say, "May Allah give you a good morning." As for "by the lights of the Prophet," where are the lights of the Prophet? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has passed away, and he has no lights. This is the belief of the grave-worshippers and the Sufis. So this is not permissible. This statement is not permissible. Yes.
