Allegorical Description Of Allah

24:35

ٱللَّهُ نُورُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۚ مَثَلُ نُورِهِۦ كَمِشۡكَوٰةٍ۬ فِيہَا مِصۡبَاحٌ‌ۖ ٱلۡمِصۡبَاحُ فِى زُجَاجَةٍ‌ۖ ٱلزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّہَا كَوۡكَبٌ۬ دُرِّىٌّ۬ يُوقَدُ مِن شَجَرَةٍ۬ مُّبَـٰرَڪَةٍ۬ زَيۡتُونَةٍ۬ لَّا شَرۡقِيَّةٍ۬ وَلَا غَرۡبِيَّةٍ۬ يَكَادُ زَيۡتُہَا يُضِىٓءُ وَلَوۡ لَمۡ تَمۡسَسۡهُ نَارٌ۬‌ۚ نُّورٌ عَلَىٰ نُورٍ۬‌ۗ يَہۡدِى ٱللَّهُ لِنُورِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ‌ۚ وَيَضۡرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡأَمۡثَـٰلَ لِلنَّاسِ‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىۡءٍ عَلِيمٌ۬ ٣٥

ALLAH is the light of the Heavens and the Earth. The allegory of His light is that of a concave mirror behind a lamp that is placed inside a glass container. The glass container is like a bright, pearl-like star. The fuel thereof is supplied from a blessed oil-producing tree, that is neither eastern, nor western. Its oil is almost self-radiating; needs no fire to ignite it. Light upon light. ALLAH guides to His light whoever wills (to be guided). ALLAH thus cites the parables for the people. ALLAH is fully aware of all things.

The Light of Allah – Guidance through it, or Deprivation of Light

THE LIGHT OF ALLAH: GUIDANCE THROUGH IT, OR DEPRIVATION OF LIGHT Page 1
The name “Light upon Light” was selected by your votes. I approved it simply because the “Light” refers to the Creator – ALLAH in the Quran, as given in verses 24:35 and 39:69. It also refers to the “Scriptures, the Guidance through them, and the Messengers who deliver and teach the Guidance”. For reference sake, see verses 64:8, 61:8-9, 2:257, 5:44, 5:46, 6:91, 7:157, 14:1, 14:5, 33:43, 39:22, 57:9, 57:28, 65:11. The light is also mentioned as a reward for the believers on the Day of Judgment through verses…

  2. THE LIGHT OF ALLAH: GUIDANCE THROUGH IT, OR DEPRIVATION OF LIGHT Page 1

    My decision and guidance are based on the fact that the words “Light upon Light” originate out of verse 24:35 which also describe ALLAH as the Light of the Heavens and the Earth. These words are in reference to ALLAH and in context of Him within the same verse. It is in the same verse that ALLAH has said, “Light upon Light”. Allah guides to His Light whomever He wills.

My advice to the believing man who asked for consultation has now become easier to answer based on the phenomenal and new proofs. Remember, verse 24:35 is a very complex verse and cannot be fully understood or comprehended, no matter how hard you try, except whatever ALLAH may reveal through His messengers.

    I shall now recite and quote part of verse 24:35 to connect the words “Allah” and “Noor”. The verse starts with the 1st word being “Allah” and the 2nd word next to it being “Noor”. In a way, both words – Allah and Noor – are closely attached to each other and describe each other. Allah is the Noor, and the Noor is Allah. Be He Glorified. After this 1st occurrence of “Noor”, the next occurrence with the same spelling occurs towards the end, in the words “Light upon Light” – “Noor Alaa Noor”. What I have been…

    The words – “Light upon Light” are given in verse 24:35. While they magnify ALLAH, they also refer to His guidance. The word “light” also appears in verse 24:40 where it is used for the strayers who are deprived of the “Light of ALLAH” – meaning depriving the strayers of the “Guidance of ALLAH”.

    Let me write the 2 different statements of Truth next to each other to show you the powerful revelations and the message revealed through them. The statement from 24:35, which also describes the Creator as the Light of the Heavens and the Earth, is regarding His mercy of guidance for those who will it, and those whom He wills; whereas the statement in 24:40 is regarding those who do not deserve His mercy and are deprived of it. So, they are reflecting 2 opposite scenarios – one of guidance and the other of…

    Both of the important revelations are thus revealed to enlighten us to the meaning of ONE GOD as compared to disbelief that amounts to worshiping 2 gods. This is a proven fact that ALLAH guides some humans through His messengers, which is why the Revelation of 1 is given through His Glorified Name letters. On the other hand, the Revelation of 2 is given through the letters of the messenger, as most people disbelieve in the messengers and the message they bring from ALLAH. Moreover, their worship and commemoration…

    Those who do not believe in the entire Quran as revealed through the messengers have displayed arrogance and rejected Submission (162). They are deprived of ALLAH's light and mercy which He extends through His words narrated in the Quran (352). The previous revelation through 24:35 revealed the Sacred Codes of 14-19 and this one reveals the name of the Scripture as Quran 352 as well as the name of the religion acceptable to ALLAH as Al-Islam 162. The Message is very clear for the intelligent ones – ALLAH – Al-Islam…
