And Light is also among His names, and among the attributes of His Lord, the Possessor of the clear proof (Is Light one of the names of Allah?)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) says:
"And Light is also among His names, and among the attributes of His Lord, the Possessor of the clear proof"
Light is among the names of Allah; the author (may Allah have mercy on him) stated this categorically. I do not know that it came in the text that Light is a name of Allah; rather, it came as attributed[An-Nur 24:35], and there is a difference between this and that. However, it came in the hadith of Abu Musa, where he said: Mishkat al-Masabih 5659 and in another wording: "The Lord, Mighty and Majestic, will be Light." As for it being among His names categorically, without attribution, we do not know. But this will be clarified, if Allah wills, by your hands after we distribute the names to you. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) says: "Light is also among His names, and among His attributes"; so He is the Light, and His attribute is Light.
"*** Glory be to the Possessor of the clear proof"; that is, exalting Him, Mighty and Majestic, the Possessor of the clear proof, meaning the decisive, manifest, and clear sign.

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth
الله نور السموات والارضAllah is the Light of the heavens and the earth
الله نور السماوات والأرضhe asked God's messenger whether he had seen his Lord and received the reply, "He is Light; how can I see Him?"
لما سئِل: هل رأيت ربك قال: نور أنى أراهI saw a light
