Reflecting Divine Light: Living by the Light of Allah in Our Hearts

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth—a reality that not only illuminates all creation but also brings clarity, guidance, and purpose to our hearts.

This divine light is not like any physical light, but the light of truth, knowledge, and presence. When Allah places this light in a person’s heart, it transforms confusion into certainty, heedlessness into awareness, and darkness into radiance. 

This light allows us to see things as they truly are and to draw nearer to Him. 

Our responsibility is to purify the heart—through remembrance, sincerity, and spiritual struggle—so that we may receive and reflect this divine light. Just as the moon reflects the sun’s brilliance, the believer reflects the light of Allah by living with sincerity, humility, and presence.
