Summary

Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi gives the standard interpretation from mainstream orthodox Sunni Islam of Surat al-Nur verse 35 - The verse of Light. "Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things." - [Surat An-Nur, verse 35] No Ayah of the Qur'an has been the most oft-commented than Ayah al-Nur (the verse of light) with a plethora of Tafasir based on the exposition of Ayah al-Nur.

This audio is brought to you by Muslim Central.com. So we're finished reciting Surat and Noor.

0:13.0

And in Surat and Noor, there is the famous Aya to Noor, or the verse of Noor.

0:19.0

An Aya to Noor, which is verse number 35 of Suraannur has the distinct honor of being the most

0:27.8

oft commented verse in the entire Quran. In other, there has been no other verse upon which more commentary has been

0:37.9

written, more tafassir, more pages, more ink on paper, more separate treatises.

0:45.0

There have been entire volumes and treatises about Tafseur Aya Tinnur.

0:50.0

And there is no other verse in the entire Quran that has the amount of commentary

0:56.0

than verse number 35 from Surat Anur and so in today's short khatira I'm going to have to squeeze in one interpretation out of hundreds if not thousands

1:08.2

Because Ayatunur is something that we all read the imams recited all the time and there is too much to say

1:14.6

for one short ha-t-t-t-tir but at least to give you one taf-sir and please the

1:19.2

disclaimer this is just one interpretation the fact the matter, this verse has so much commentary,

1:25.4

so much interpretation, also different theological groups

1:28.7

interpreted in different manners.

1:30.2

So the mystical groups, they really go,

1:32.8

macheal the hardcore in this verse,

1:34.2

and they have all of their rather interesting,

1:36.8

sometimes even bizarre Tefseas of this verse.

1:39.4

And then you have the other types of theological groups.

1:42.0

So what I will give you is one standard

1:44.6

interpretation of mainstream Orthodox if you like Sunni Islam and this is one

1:49.5

interpretation I'm not saying is the only one it is not the only one there are many other

1:53.2
