The categories of light: physical and spiritual, their examples, and the response to those who say that the Messenger of Allah is light and has no shadow
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Because light is divided into two categories: physical light and spiritual light. Physical light is like the light of the sun and the moon and the like. Spiritual light is the light of the Qur'an, the Shari'ah, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
And his saying: " *** Thus was the one sent with the Criterion"
I told you that the light of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is spiritual light, not physical light. What has been narrated that he (peace and blessings be upon him) illuminates what is around him, and that he has no shadow when walking in the sun because his light obscures the shadow that would have been there, is a lie with no truth to it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is spiritual light.
