Noor appears again (this time as a participle muneeran مُّنِيرًا) in a similar verse about the moon: | |||
{{Quote|{{Quran|25|61}}| | |||
Blessed be He Who hath placed in the heaven mansions of the stars, and hath placed therein a great lamp and a moon giving light!"}} | |||
Perhaps the best example of a verse showing the noor means light and not reflected light can be found in 33:45-46 in which a lamp is shining light with the exact same Arabic word as in 25:61 above (muneeran مُّنِيرًا) | |||
{{Quote|{{Quran-range|33|45|46}}| | |||
O Prophet! Lo! We have sent thee as a witness and a bringer of good tidings and a warner. And as a summoner unto Allah by His permission, and as a lamp '''that giveth light'''.}} | |||
The word "Noor" is also used in this verse to show that Allah is the "light" of the universe. Clearly the author is not implying that Allah reflects light from another source but is the source of the light. | The word "Noor" is also used in this verse to show that Allah is the "light" of the universe.
