The Light of the High Heavens from His Light*** and the Earth, How the Star and the Two Moons (Clarifying that the light of the heavens and the earth is from the light of Allah, which is His act, and this is created)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : al-falak, because it is derived from al-falak (the sphere) and not from al-fulk (the ship). Yes, "*** I said: Under al-falak, there are those two" "The light of the high heavens is from His light*** and the earth" meaning, and the light of the earth. "*** How the star and the two moons" meaning, a fortiori.
The light of the heavens and the earth is from the light of Allah, but it is not from His light which is His attribute, because His light which is His attribute is essential to His Self, Mighty and Majestic. Rather, it is from His light which is His act and is created. So it is Allah who created this light, the light of the heavens and the earth, and the light of the heavens and the earth is not the light of Allah which is His attribute. He says:
"The light of the high heavens is from His light*** and the earth, how the star and the two moons"
