whoever believes that the noor of RasulAllah ﷺ was made from a 'portion' of the 'nur' of Allah ta'ala [al-iyadhu billah] - or even believes that the 'nur' to be physical, is a kafir. it is not a sunni belief, rather a Hashwi belief of the worst kind. that of an anthropomorphist who believes in a god that can take out a portion from himself. our God Almighty is free from all such implications of being a body or made up of parts - being a whole that can be made into parts and such things. such a belief is outright kufr. ta'ala Allahu `uluwwan kabeera. the hadith of jabir raDiyAllahu anhu, notwithstanding its status being questioned, STILL talks of 'creation' of the nur - not that the nur is a portion from Allah. ma'adhAllah. ==== anyone who believed thus should renew their faith and believe in Allah ta'ala as a Muslim should. in bad' al-amali: wa ma in jawharun rabbi wa jismun wa la kullun wa ba'aDun dhu'shtimali
The learned brothers can confirm but I don't think I'm wrong to say: 'It's kufr to believe that the light of RasulAllah ﷺ is a part of Allah ta'ala.'
Sidi Aqdas a vast majority in South India believe that. Are you saying they are all upon kufr and have misunderstood the hadith of Sayyiduna jabir رضي الله عنه. ? Have any of our Ahlus Sunnah scholars clarified this earlier ?
The verse also says that Allah is Nur just like the hadith e Nur: the word NUR in the aayah is masdar/infinitive/verbal noun; and an infinitive resembles a verb i.e. shibha fe'l so a masdar in arabic is either used as mabni lil fa'il or mabni lil maf'uool. in this aayah it is grammatically used as nomen agentis/active participle...which means nur is mabni lil fa'il....so Allaho nur al-samawat means 'munawwir al-samawat' the one who is GIVER of LIGHT and not light itself. we cannot say Allah is the light because light itself emanates from a source external to itself and Allah cannot be dependent on anything. therefore, in light of arabic grammar the meaning of the verse is that Allah is munawwir, the one who gives light and not light itself. this meaning comes from the fact that 'nur' is a masdar and masdar is used either as mabni lil fa'il as in this case or mabni lil maf'uool as in many other instances in arabic language
No. The nur of RasulAllah ﷺ is NOT a PART of Allah ta'ala whatsoever. Allah ta'ala existed. Nothing else. He then Willed to create and He CREATED the light of RasulAllah ﷺ.
i heard something like this to that Prophet ﷺ is created with Allah's Noor? Allah Azzawajal Forgive Me Ameen.
I want the input of learned brothers about any words that need changing etc. It seems some of our awaam think the nur of RasulAllah ﷺ is a part of the nur of Allah. Astaghfirullah.
I wish to release a statement about hadith of Sayyiduna jabir رضي الله عنه. Can brothers please help. So far: It's crucial that Ahlu's Sunnah - specifically our awaam - understand the true meaning of the Hadith of Jābir. It reads: إن الله خلق قبل الأشياء نور نبيّك من نوره Indeed Allah created before anything else, the light of your Prophet from His light. The word من here is ibtidā'iyah (to indicate beginningness). It is of tashrīf (nobility). It means the nūr had a beginning (ibtidā') and was created by Allah and it is under the authority of Allah. Just as we say BaytAllah for ka'abah sharif because it has a connection to Allah - we say NūrAllah to show the light of RasulAllah ﷺ has a special connection to Allah. The من in no way means the light of RasulAllah ﷺ is a part or portion of Allah. That would be kufr.
