Question

moulana ashraf thanvi (ra) book nashut teeb he was quoted a hadith in which the prophet (saw) says 'the 1st thing which allah created was my noor from his noor and from it he created the whole world'
Is this hadith sahih or has moulana ashraf thanvi (ra) just used it for fazail. the brealwi quote this hadith to support the fact the prohet (saw) is noor and claim so did moulana thanvi (ra)

Answer

Aqidah of Ahlus-Sunnah wal Jamaah is that Allah tala created the prophet (SAW) (Noor) light before any other thing and it was a created light. This noor is never a part from Allah’s noor. Anyone who believes the prophet (SAW) noor a part of Allah tala’s noor is a belief of shirk and similitude to that of Christians. But the holy Prophet (SAW) is the light of guidance, that Through this guidance light many have found guidance.
On the physical state it comprises of sufficient light in his blessed body. As stated on the hadith and this luminosity (Nooraniyat) can never be contrary to his humanness (Bashariyat). Lastly molana Tanwi (RA) would never had the same Aqidah as the beralwi since he was a god fearing great deobandi scholar.

Question:

From the time of Prophet (S.A.W.) until Molvi Raza Khan Barelvi has anyone supported the thinking and sayings of Molvi Raza Khan like:

a.) Prophet (S.A.W.) is Noor and not Bashar.

b.) He is Haazir Naazir

c.) Alimul Ghaib

d.) Mukhtaar Kul

If the answer is yes then who and when? Please provide answer with reference. Jazakallah

Answer:

Fatwaa no. 120/04

To regard anybody other than Allah to be the knower of the unseen, Mukhtaar-e-Kul, omnipresent and all observant were the beliefs of the Mushrikeen (polytheists). Allah Ta’ala and Nabi (S.A.W.) have refuted such beliefs as the Qur’an and the books of Hadith bear testimony to this fact.

In order to mislead man Shaitaan introduced these baseless beliefs among the Shiite sect, therefore according to the Shiites their Imam is Mukhtaar-e-Kul, omnipresent, all observant and the knower of the unseen. Through the Shiite sect these false beliefs also penetrated the ignorant Sufis as well as the general masses. It is for this very reason that in every era the Ulamaa and Fuqahaa have tackled and refuted such beliefs and classified these people as Kuffar.

Nabi (S.A.W.) according to his Thaat (personality) is Bashar (human) and according to his Sifaat (qualities) he is Noor (light) just as how a tube light is glass according to its Thaat and when it illuminates it looks as if it is in itself Noor (light). In the similar manner, Nabi (S.A.W.) is the Noor of guidance.

The Christians believe that Isa (A.S.) is a part of Allah; therefore it is possible that these beliefs penetrated the ignorant Sufis and Muslims that Nabi (S.A.W.) is also a part of Allah’s Noor. However, Moulana Ahmad Radhaa Khan supported such futile and baseless beliefs and substantiated them and authored many booklets to oppose the Ulamaa-e-Haqq, therefore he became known as the founder of these beliefs. We do not know for sure who else supported these beliefs prior to Moulana Ahmad Radhaa Khan. For further information please refer to ‘Barelviat Talsam Fareb Yaa Haqeeqat’ by Dr. Abu Adnaan Suhail and ‘Math-hab Ahle Sunnah wal Jamaat’ of Allamah Muhammad Ramadhaan sahib.

Question

salaam

First of all....Allah ta'ala reward you for your efforts.

I was hoping if you answer back to this claim; i.e. if it is true or not:

. Once Hazrat Jaabir (radi Allahu anhu) asked the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) whom Allah Ta'ala created before anything else. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) stated: "O Jaabir! Verily, before the creation of anything else, Almighty Allah created the Noor of your Nabi from His Noor." (Muwahibul Laduniya; Zirkani Shareef)

By the way, i know Prophet (SAW) was not made out of noor and is not hazir or nazir. Just like to know if this question is ever posed to me via this type of evidence.

Jazakallah and may Allah grant you istiqamat

Respected brother/sister

The topic being touched upon is the topic of aqeedah. The understanding of the word noor used for the Prophet (peace be upon him) does not literally mean he was light and not human. From the given fatwa below you will come to realise that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was noor, not literally but metaphorically (meaning guidance). He wasn't made of light, he was human just like us.

Please refer to the following answer: http://qa.muftisays.com?3244 .

Additionally, please read the following article from askimam.org for further in-depth information:

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

It is important to know what is meant by noor. The meaning of noor is light. Allah Ta’ala in the Qur’an has mentioned the moon as being noor.

هو الذى جعل الشمس ضياء والقمرنورا

Allah is the being who created the sun bright and the moon noor.

Noor is a light on its own and also gives light to others. The meaning that will be taken for noor will be that which is apparent and makes apparent. For this same reason the Prophets are called noor. They are guided and they are the medium for others to get guidance. In the dua اللهم اجعلنى نورا the same is meant. The names Noorudeen, Noorulislam, Noorullah are kept with the same purpose. Noor comes in the Qur’an for guidance just as Dhulmat (darkness) comes for going astray. Allah Ta’ala says in the Qur’an:

اومن كان ميتا فاحييناه وجعلنا له نورا يمشى به فى الناس كمن مثله فى الظلمات ليس بخارج منها

He who is dead, then We granted him life and gave him a light by which he may walk among people better than someone like him who is a multitude of darkness from which he will not come out?(Al-Anaam-122)

For something to be noor does not mean that it cannot be human also. If this was the case then it would not be correct for a human to make this dua اللهم اجعلنى نورا, because it would mean, O Allah take me out of the fold of humanity.

Rasullah (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam) was human as well as noor. Allah Ta’ala says in the Qur’an:

قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ

Say (O Muhammad) I’m verily a human like yourselves. (Al-Kahf-110)

Allah Ta’ala say in the Qur’an:

قَدْ جَاءَكُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ نُورٌ وَكِتَابٌ مُبِينٌ

‎Verily came to you from Allah noor and the clear book. (Al-Maidah-15)

Many Mufassireen (Commentators of the Qur’an) have stated that by noor here is meant Rasullah (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam). The prophet was noor. He was guidance for the whole of mankind. Therefore, he was both noor and human.

To say that Rasullah (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam) is made of noor or made from the noor of Allah and is not human is incorrect. Him being human is proven from the ayat of Qur’an.
