Question #4: “Some of the students of knowledge found it strange that you explained All\u0101h’s saying, the Most High – ‘All\u0101h is the Light of the heavens and the earth’[1] – to be that He illuminates them[2] and that He does not have the name ‘An-N\u016br’ (The Light); so we would like a detailed explanation about this.”<\/span>
Shaykh al-Alb\u0101n\u012b answers:<\/span>
“I don’t have any detailed explanation except that I don’t know of An-N\u016br being one of the names of All\u0101h, the Mighty and Majestic, in an authentic had\u012bth. Rather, (the Prophet) (\u0635\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0645) had said that ‘His Veil is light’ – when he was asked ‘Did you see your Lord?’, he had said: ‘A light,[3] how could I see Him?’[4] [5] [6] And (also) in the narration of Ab\u016b M\u016bs\u0101 al-Ash\u02bdar\u012b in Sah\u012bh Muslim, he said ‘His Veil is light…’[7] [1] S\u016brat un-N\u016br; 24:35<\/span>
[2] Tafs\u012br Ibn Kath\u012br and Tafs\u012br as-Sa\u02bdd\u012b mention similar statements, with both literal meanings and also metaphorical ones such as ‘All\u0101h is the One who guides those in the heavens and the earth,’ ‘His Book is a light,’ ‘His legislation is a light’ etc.<\/span>
[3] it was not clearly heard that the Shaykh said ‘A light’ due to a problem with the tape recording, but it is part of the had\u012bth<\/span>
[4] Sah\u012bh Muslim #178; it was also narrated in this same chapter with the wording: ‘I saw a light’<\/span>
[5] what is meant by ‘A light, how could I see Him?’ is the light of the Veil, which is mentioned in another had\u012bth: ‘His Veil is light,’ and it is also mentioned in another had\u012bth: ‘I saw a light’ – so its meaning is that ‘how could I see Him while the light of the Veil had prevented me from seeing Him?’; refer to Shaykh \u02bdAbdul Muhsin al-\u02bdAbb\u0101d in Sharh Sunan at-Tirmith\u012b, tape #361<\/span>
[6] the meaning of ‘A light, how could I see Him?’ is: ‘His Veil is a light, so how could I see Him?’; refer to Im\u0101m an-Nawaw\u012b in his explanation of Sah\u012bh Muslim, part 3, p. 12<\/span>
[7] Sah\u012bh Muslim #179<\/span><\/p>\r\n
