The Noor of Allah Ta'ala
Question
Regarding the Ayah of Nur, the example of a lamp is given. Is it talking about Allah’s zaat or Allah’s Noor or something else? Allah is not like anything so I don’t understand, is Allah being compared to a lamp?
Answer
This is just an illustration to show the noor of Allah Ta`ala. Noor is also among the sifaat of Allah. It translates as zaahirun li nafishi muzhirun li ghayrihi.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
