Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner asks: Is the name Abd al-Nur among the names that worship is directed to other than Allah?
Answer:
There is no report of this, and among His names is al-Nur (Light), Glorified and Exalted is He. There is no doubt that al-Nur is among His names, and Light is among His attributes, Exalted and Majestic is He. However, there is no report that one is named to worship Light. This is a confusion stemming from the religion of the Persians, who worship Light and Darkness.
