Sadullah Khan – Parables and Wisdom from the Quran (Light Upon Light) Night 15

			All the below him in a shaytani R
rajim Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem.
		

			We continue our theme layout at
tonkean. And third we're Hikmah
		

			mineral Quran Al Karim.
		

			And read we focus probably on the
most beautiful parable in the
		

			Quran, and possibly the most
powerful metaphor in the Holy
		

			Quran.
		

			And this is captured in Surah noon
in an aisle cold aisle to know
		

			and diverse basically it's a long
verse and it reads Allah Who knew
		

			somehow it was methylene blue he
commish cutting fee Hermes BA
		

			and ms bajo fees to Georgia and
diverse goes on new Runa Allah Lu
		

			de la holy new the HEMA Yasha for
your dribble LA who unfairly nurse
		

			Allahu be equally Shana Lim
		

			I had to Nora is certainly one of
the most intricate verses of the
		

			Quran.
		

			A verse For which interpreters and
mystics and philosophers have all
		

			offered various explanations
according to the respective
		

			inclinations, and they all
understand
		

			it realize that whenever we
discuss about the nature of Allah,
		

			which this is partly about, we
talk about the divine, we as human
		

			beings, will have to admit
		

			capacity
		

			can be considered
		

			whatever can be considered in the
realm of human thought is
		

			characterized by limitations and
the judgement of human intellect
		

			is also constrained.
		

			So, we are finite beings with
finite minds. And of course, with
		

			finite capacity, there are
limitations, while the Divine is a
		

			huddle, Samad unique, infinite
absolute laser committee che,
		

			nothing is comparable unto him.
		

			So, in the parable of Iota, no,
		

			there is reference made to Allah
who somehow it will. Allah is the
		

			Light of the heavens in the earth.
		

			And it goes on Mr. Louis Kaminska,
to free him his BA using a
		

			metaphor that the Light
		

			of the heavens in the earth and he
found Allah, the light being like
		

			a niche, in which is the lamp. And
of course, the symbolic
		

			metaphorical description goes on.
		

			Followed by a reminder that this
parable is only a form of mental
		

			imagery, in order for people to
achieve some modify some deep
		

			understanding of Allah and the
MACOM of Allah, the Exalted status
		

			and station of Allah, and to be
aware of his absolute oneness, his
		

			unicity, or historic read.
		

			This is the only verse where there
is a parable and at the end of the
		

			same verse, we are reminded about
the parable, that it is a parable.
		

			We acknowledge that everything in
the world is causing effect.
		

			Everything in the world is cause
and effect. But Allah is uncaused.
		

			In fact, he's the uncaused first
cause, and
		

			he is the first without the
beginning, who in a world will
		

			argue he is the last without an
ending.
		

			Now the notion of Allah who lose
some Iowa to will, the notion of
		

			the light part of it, as for light
or noon, there are two primary
		

			categories of light, and Allah the
Sublime, he is the source of both
		

			these lights.
		

			One is the physical light,
consisting of photons, which
		

			illuminates physical objects, and
is perceived by the physical eye,
		

			to see the external reality is, in
other words, shapes, dimensions
		

			and colors. In the absence of
light, you cannot see shape, you
		

			cannot see dimension you cannot
see color. Only in the presence of
		

			light, can we I be able to
identify shape, dimensions, colors
		

			of objects, also the most visible
and dominant physical light for
		

			us, and all the profits throughout
history, and until the end of time
		

			is the sun.
		

			The sunlight is essential for
physical life of plants, of
		

			animals and therefore, for the
existence of the human race. And
		

			of the creation of plants and
animals of course, that's the one
		

			like the physical light. Then
there is a spiritual light is
		

			perceived by the Insight
		

			Have the human heart,
		

			to see the internal realities of
all that exists, the good and the
		

			bad, the beautiful and the ugly,
		

			truth from falsehood,
distinguishing the good the inner
		

			dimensions, the inner realities of
being. And this is perceived by
		

			the internal body we can say
spiritual light, just as the
		

			physical light is imperative for
physical life, so to his divine
		

			light, essential for spiritual
heart.
		

			Light, therefore, in both cases
signifies existence,
		

			illumination, because without
light, you wouldn't know something
		

			is the,
		

			its unified existence,
illumination, as well as
		

			knowledge. And in contrast to
that, the opposite of that, in the
		

			absence of light, these non
existence or perceived non
		

			existence, there is darkness and
ignorance.
		

			Allah being Allah who somehow it
was the lack of the heavens in the
		

			earth, we know when light appears,
it causes other objects to become
		

			apparent. So the very verse
suggests, I have to know that
		

			Allah is the only one who exists
off and by himself, absolutely
		

			independent of all others. And
whatever exists, other than he
		

			depends on Him to come into
existence. Bear with me, it's a
		

			bit deep, deep today. But this is
the nature of the verse. And I'm
		

			only doing one dimension of it. By
the way, a new is one of the names
		

			of Allah, and all the lights in
the universe. And whatever
		

			illumination they are, they are
but manifestation of the prime
		

			light a noon.
		

			So the verse here implies for us,
that Allah Who created light, and
		

			illuminates everything in the
universe, without his light, and
		

			the creation of light which he has
made, there will be no source of
		

			light, and therefore no source of
guidance, no source of sight, no
		

			source of insight, and no life.
We're Mala Mia, jalila Hullo
		

			Muran, from Allah whom he knew, if
Allah would withhold His light,
		

			from where would you find any
source of light?
		

			Therefore, whatever comes from
Allah is light. The Prophet said
		

			Allahu Allah was conveyed the
message of Allah and therefore
		

			Allah refers to him, you had an OB
in ourselves Nakisha he though
		

			will move a Shinto whether the era
where da you need Allah, babies
		

			NIWA, see Raja Munira, you are a
light. But Manila means something
		

			which has reflects light is the
moon. The moon doesn't have a
		

			light of its own, it deflects the
light of the sun, but you see the
		

			moonlight but no moonlight is
reflecting the sun. Rasulullah is
		

			a reflection of the Messenger of
Allah. So Allah the first room as
		

			she Rajan muneera, the lamp giving
light but the light itself receive
		

			light from somewhere else. It is
lightened by something like the
		

			moon further Alba through Elena,
He is the light we talking about
		

			in that regard.
		

			And the Prophet said, Allah Allah
wa salam, therefore is a beacon of
		

			light because he's a conveyor of
divine message and of the Divine
		

			Light in that sense. And the
divine revelation which Rasul also
		

			received, what about a neural
dilemma? Ma and the new that came
		

			down with the Rasul which is the
Quran, which also the Quran is
		

			referred to as a source of light
because why they emanate from the
		

			message of Allah, Muhammad
Muhammad Coahoma Madonna, he, they
		

			can Hudak Inula say Muhammad udana
he don't call Muhammad God
		

			Muhammad is your God said Allah is
the Lamb, but he never separated
		

			from the light of Allah. And this
verse sort of emphasizes that
		

			the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam is reported to have said,
		

			I'll call boo Urbach as documented
in the Muslim of Imam Muhammad
		

			dunya humble palemoon extra fee he
must know Suraj use him will call
		

			Boone Avila Maria Butina Allah He
Luffy will call Boone mongoose
		

			will call the moose moose half
sorry, booths five will call Boone
		

			Musa will be responsible for umbel
call for call Boom Rubin said Raju
		

			fie. He knew this was legit.
Hearts are four kinds. The heart
		

			that is clear like a shining lamp.
Then there are hearts covered and
		

			tied up. Then their hearts in
turmoil upside down. And then
		

			there's a heart clad in armor.
		

			I'll deal with the first one only.
As for the clear heart, the heart
		

			of fitrah every poor person is
born pure. The heart is pure of
		

			everyone. It's why can you move
within you the dolphins are you
		

			born upon a pure disposition. So
as for the clear heart, the heart
		

			of fitrah the natural pure heart
		

			which a person is born with. That
is supposed to be the heart
		

			Have a believer and Rasul said,
		

			called will movement see Raju Fie,
he knew. In other words, in that
		

			heart, it's like a lamp within
which there is a light.
		

			Now the portion of the verse of
ayah to know which goes on says no
		

			rule of law nor Light upon light.
Some scholar says, it may refer to
		

			the divine light of Allah,
igniting the spark of the human
		

			heart.
		

			And when the divine revelation
reaches such a heart, the
		

			illuminating light of revelation
resonates with the inner light of
		

			the heart and therefore Northern
Ireland. Yeah Did now will you
		

			know the EMA ye SHA, Allah guides
through his life, who we wish. And
		

			then the verse concludes, while
your dream Allahu unsaddled the
		

			nurse, we strike for you parables
and similar tools and metaphors,
		

			because we want people to
understand and to be aware that
		

			Allah is cognizant of everything.
What are the three points for us
		

			to contemplate, from this rather
intricate, brief discussion but
		

			rather intricate? Either
		

			one, just like water is clean as
well as a cleanser. Light is
		

			visible and make other things
visible. To Allah is a known he is
		

			the source of all light and
illumination. And three, Allah
		

			sacred right, embraces the
entirety of creation, and
		

			illuminates the heavens and the
earth. His eternal radiance
		

			infuses light in life and in all
that exists Akula kolyada was
		

			tougher Allah wa salam aleikum wa
rahmatullah
