Light as Image and Concept in the Qur’an and other Islamic Sources
This presentation examines references to light in the Qur’an and selected classical Islamic sources such as hadith and tafsir, in an effort to show how this important scriptural term and image was treated and developed as an enduring thematic element in different strands of Islamic culture. While the “Light Verse” of Qur’an 24:35 is the most famous passage involving light, it is the only one that equates God with light; there are many other Qur’anic references to light that are echoed in other Islamic texts. The presentation will focus on qur’anic and other interpretations of nûr and further terms for light, especially in their figurative use to refer variously to guidance, wisdom, faith, angels, the Prophet, or the Qur’an itself.
