in darkness; then came the fight again, in the fuller light of Islam. And they are asked to believe in the light, and to<br />

walk in it. Cf. also lvii. 12. and n. 5288 above. (57.28)<br />

5328 Any wrong they may have committed through ignorance or misconceptions in their previous religion will be forgiven<br />

them, as they have seen the new light and walk by it. (57.28)<br />

66:8 - Their Light will run forward before them and by their right hands while they say "Our Lord!<br />

perfect our Light for us and grant us Forgiveness; for Thou has power over all things."<br />

5542 The opposition of sex against sex, individual or concerted, having been condemned , we are now exhorted to turn to<br />

the Light, and to realise that the good and righteous can retain their integrity even though their mates, in spite of all<br />

their example and precept, remain in evil and sin. (66.8)<br />

5543 Whatever may have been the faults of the past, unite in good deeds, and abandon petty sectional jealousies, and<br />

Allah will remove your difficulties and distresses, and all the evils from which you suffer. Indeed He will grant you the<br />

Bliss of Heaven and save you from any humiliation which you may have brought on yourselves by your conduct and<br />

on the revered Prophet and Teacher whose name you professed to take. (66.8)<br />

5544 See lvii. 12, and n. 5288. The darkness of evil will be dispelled, and the Light of Allah will be realised by them more<br />

and more. But even so they will not be content: for they will pray for the least taint of evil to be removed from them,<br />

and perfection to be granted to them. In that exalted state they will be within reach of perfection,-not by their own<br />

merits, but by the infinite Mercy and Power of Allah. (66.8)<br />

76:11 - But Allah will deliver them from the evil of that Day and will shed over them a light of Beauty<br />

and a (blissful) Joy. 5842<br />

83:15 - Verily from (the Light of) their Lord that Day will they be veiled.<br />

6018<br />

6018 The stain of evil deeds on their hearts sullies the mirror of their hearts, so that it does not receive the light. At<br />

Judgment the true Light, the Glory of the Lord, the joy of the Righteous, will be hidden by veils from the eyes of the<br />

Sinful. Instead; the Fire of Punishment will be to them the only reality which they will perceive. (83.15)<br />

92:1 - By the Night as it conceals (the light); 6159<br />

6159 The evidence of three things is invoked, viz., Night, Day, and Sex, and the conclusion is stated in verse 4, that men's<br />

aims are diverse. But similarly there are contrasts in nature. What contrast can be greater than between Night and<br />

Day? When the Night spreads her veil, the sun's light is hidden, but not lost. The sun is in his place all the time, and<br />

will come forth in all his glory again in his own good time. Cf. xci. 3, 4, and n. 6149. Man pursuing diverse aims may<br />

find, owing to his own position, Allah's light obscured from him for a time, but he must strive hard to put himself in a<br />

position to reach it in all its glory. (92.1)<br />

113:1 - Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn 63016302<br />

6301 In Allah's created world, there are all kinds of forces and counter-forces, especially those put in motion by beings who<br />

have been endowed with some sort of will. The forces of good may be compared to light, and those of evil to<br />

darkness. Allah can cleave the depths of darkness and produce light (vi. 96), and therefore we should cast off fear<br />

and take refuge in divine guidance and goodness. (113.1)<br />

6302 Falaq is the Dawn or Daybreak, the cleaving of darkness and the manifestation of light. This may be understood in<br />

various senses: (1) literally, when the darkness of the night is at its worst, rays of light pierce through and produce the<br />

dawn; (2) when the darkness of ignorance is at its worst, the light of Allah pierces through the soul and gives it<br />

enlightenment: xxiv. 35; (3) non-existence is darkness, and life and activity may be typified by light. The author and<br />

source of all true light is Allah, and if we seek Him, we are free from ignorance, superstition, fear, and every kind of<br />

evil. (113.1)<br />

Sahih Muslim Hadith<br />

Hadith 1671<br />

Abdullah ibn<br />

Narrated by<br />

…Then Bilal came and he informed him about the prayer. He (the Holy Prophet) then stood up for<br />

prayer but did not perform ablution. His supplication included these words: "O Allah, place light in<br />

my heart, light in my sight, light in my hearing, light on my right hand, light on my left hand, light<br />

above me, light below me, light in front of me, light behind me, and enhance light for me." Kurayb<br />

(the narrator) said: There are seven (words more) which are in my heart (but I cannot recall them)<br />

and I met some of the descendants of Abbas, who narrated these words to me and mentioned in<br />

them: (Light) in my sinew, in my flesh, in my blood, in my hair, in my skin, and mentioned two more<br />

things.<br />
