And light is of two types: created and descriptive; what are they, and Allah is one (Types of Light)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And light is of two types: created and descriptive; what are they, and Allah is one"
It is correct that light is of two types: a type that is created, distinct from Allah and separate from Him, and a type that is an attribute of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). They are not the same, contrary to what the Sufis claim when they think that the lights that occur to them in their hearts, or that they see in the universe, are the light of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). For this reason, the author (may Allah have mercy on him) swore that they are not united.
