Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is al-Nur (The Light) among the names of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)?

The Shaykh:
Yes. Al-Nur (The Light) is among the names of Allah the Exalted. Al-Nur (The Light) is of two types: al-Nur (The Light) as a name of Allah and an attribute of His attributes. This is not created. The second type is the created light. The light of the sun, the light of the moon, the light of the stars, the light of electricity, the light of the lamp. This is created. This is created light from the creations of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Likewise, faith in the heart of the believer is a light from Allah, but from the side of Allah it is not created. Yes.

The questioner:
And is al-Maqsud (The Intended) among the names of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)?

The Shaykh:
Al-Maqsud (The Intended), no. But that the creatures intend Him, yes. He is intended in needs, and is asked of. As for al-Maqsud (The Intended) being among His names, no. I do not know this. I do not know.
