There has come to you from Allah...

There has come to you from Allah, Noor (a Light) and a Clarifying Book [5:15] He -azwj Struck an example of Muhammad -saww as the Light of the sun هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ ضِيَاءً وَالْقَمَرَ نُورًا وَقَدَّرَهُ مَنَازِلَ لِتَعْلَمُوا عَدَدَ السِّنِينَ وَالْحِسَابَ ۚ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ ذَٰلِكَ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ ۚ يُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ {5} He is the (One) Who Made the sun a brightness and the moon a light, and Ordained stages in order for the number of the years to be known and the accounting.

Allah did not Create that except with the Truth. He Details the Signs for a people who know [10:5] فِي رَوْضَةِ الْكَافِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ: فَضَرَبَ مَثَلَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ الشَّمْسَ وَ مَثَلَ الْوَصِيِّ الْقَمَرَ، وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: جَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ ضِياءً وَ الْقَمَرَ نُورا In Rowzat Al Kafi – Ali Bin Al Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Abbas, from Ali Bin Hammad, from Umaro Bin shimr, from Jabir, From Abu Ja’far -asws having said: ‘He -azwj Struck an example of Muhammad -saww as the sun, and an example of the successor -asws as the moon, and these are the Words of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic: He is the (One) Who Made the sun a brightness and the moon a light [10:5] ’.

[6] The Interpretation of Noor: The Qur’an frequently uses the metaphor of Noor (light) to denote Divine Guidance, which was Sent to Muslims through the -saww . يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَاءَكُمْ بُرْهَانٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَأَنْزَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ نُورًا مُبِينًا {174} O you people!

There has come to you a convincing Proof from your Lord and We Sent to you a clear Light [4:174] فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَاعْتَصَمُوا بِهِ فَسَيُدْخِلُهُمْ فِي رَحْمَةٍ مِنْهُ وَفَضْلٍ وَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَيْهِ صِرَاطًا مُسْتَقِيمًا {175} Then, as for those who are believing in Allah and adhering with Him, He would be Entering them into a Mercy from Him and Grace, and they would be Guided to Him by a Straight Path [4:175] العياشي: عن عبد الله بن سليمان، قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قوله: يا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جاءَكُمْ بُرْهانٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَ أَنْزَلْنا إِلَيْكُمْ نُوراً مُبِيناً؟ قال: «البرهان محمد (عليه و آله السلام)، و النور علي (عليه السلام)».

قال: قلت له صِراطاً مُسْتَقِيماً؟ قال: الصراط المستقيم علي (عليه السلام)».
