Question:
What is the ruling on one who says that he (peace and blessings be upon him) was created from light?
Answer:
It has no basis; this is invalid speech. He was created from the water of Abdullah and the water of Aminah, his father and his mother. This is a compounded ignorance. But Allah gave him light through the revelation, [Al-Ahzab: 45-46], through the revelation that was sent down to him, through what Allah revealed to him of the Qur'an and the Sunnah; it is not part of his creation.

(45) O Prophet, indeed We have sent you as a witness and a bringer of good tidings and a warner. (46) And one who invites to Allah, by His permission, and an illuminating lamp.
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ شَاهِدًا وَمُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا وَدَاعِيًا إِلَى اللَّهِ بِإِذْنِهِ وَسِرَاجًا مُنِيرًا
