1766. THE LIGHT OF INSIGHT

(أَوَمَنْ كَانَ مَيْتاً فَأَحْيَيْنَاهُ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُ نُوراً يَمْشِي بِهِ فِي النَّاسِ كَمَنْ مَثَلُهُ فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ لَيْسَ بِخَارِجٍ مِنْهَا كَذلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِلْكَافِرِينَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ) .1

"Is he who was lifeless, then We gave him life and provided him with a light by which he walks among the people, like one who dwells in a manifold darkness which he cannot leave? To the faithless is thus presented as decorous what they have been doing." 2

(يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَآمِنُوا بِرَسُولِهِ يُؤْتِكُمْ كِفْلَيْنِ مِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ وَيَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ نُوراً تَمْشُونَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ) .3

"O you who have faith! Be wary of Allah and have faith in His Apostle. He will grant you a double share of His mercy and give you a light to walk by, and forgive you, and Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful." 4

6259.الإمامُ زينُ العابدينَ عليه السلام - في الدّعاء - : وَهَبْ لي نُوراً أمشي بهِ في النّاسِ ، وأهتَدي بهِ في الظُّلُماتِ ، وأستَضي‏ءُ بهِ مِن الشَّكِّ والشُّبُهاتِ .5

6259. Imam Zayn al-Abidin (AS), in a supplication said, 'And grant me a light with which I can walk among people, and through which I can be guided in a manifold darkness, and with which I can enlighten myself from doubts and uncertainties.' 6

6260.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : لَيسَ العِلمُ بالتَّعلُّمِ ، إنّما هُو نُورٌ يَقَعُ في قَلبِ مَن يُريدُ اللَّهُ تباركَ وتعالى‏ أن يَهدِيَهُ .7

6260.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Knowledge is not [achieved] through learning; rather it is a light that falls into the heart of one whom Allah Almighty wishes to guide.' 8
