He is the brightness and illuminator of all of them. Some commentators have interpreted the word ‘Light’ here as guider and leader[^2]; and some of them have interpreted it as ‘lighter’ and some as ‘beautifying’. All these meanings are true, but the concept of the verse is still more inclusive. In the Qur’an and Islamic Narrations some entities are called as ‘light’: The Glorious Qur’an: As Sura Al-Ma’idah, No.

5, verse 15 is recited: “...indeed there has come to you light, from Allah, a Light and a clear Book.” Also recite in Sura Al-’A‘raf, No. 7, verse 157: “...Then those who... and follow the light which has been sent down with him: these are they that are the prosperous ones.” Faith: We read in Sura Al-Baqarah, No.

2, verse 257: “Allah is the Guardian of those who have faith; He brings them out of darkness into the light...” Divine Guidance and clear-sightedness: As it is mentioned in Sura Al-An‘am, No.

6, verse 122: “Is he who was dead (with ignorance and polytheism) and We gave him life (by Our guidance), and provided him with a light by which he walks among the people, as one whose likeness is in the utter darkness (of ignorance and polytheism) whence he cannot come forth from them?...” Islam Religion: It is said in Sura At-Taubah, No. 9, verse 32: “...and Allah refuses but to perfect His Light, though the infidels detest it.” The Prophet (S): In Sura Al-Ahzab, No.

33, verse 46 we read about the Prophet (S): “And as a summoner unto Allah by His permission, and as a light-giving torch.” Imams and the Infallible Leaders: As we read in Ziyarat-i-Jami‘ah: “Allah created you (as) lights, then He set you encircled (His Throne).” In the same Ziyarat we read: “You are the light for the good ones and guiders of those who do good deeds.” Science and Knowledge: This is also mentioned as light, as we read in a famous tradition: “Knowledge is a light that Allah casts in any heart that He wills.” [^3] The above mentioned matters are on one side and, on the other side, we must study carefully the special characteristics of light some of its properties and qualities are as follows: a.

Light is the most beautiful and delicate entity in the world of material. It is the source of all beauties and delicacies. b. As scientists say, light has got the highest velocity in the world; 300, 000 kilometers per second.
