Filled To The Brim

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

The Nur is the One who brings darkness to the light of existence. He shone on it and it came to existence. Just like when you are in darkness you don't know what's there, An-Nur is the One who make things exist. He is the source of all existence.

He illuminates the horizon with the sun and the moon and the hearts with all types of knowledge. So An-Nur is the One who guides to the light of knowledge.

So, whoever who wants the heart to be filled with the light of knowledge, turn to the Nur and ask for increase.

The light of the hearts is the real life through it any difficulties become bearable. Seek an increase of this light, until one sees the light--the light of guidance and the light of certainty.

Sometimes Allah sends light to the heart but the heart is filled to the brim with other things and so it can't receive the light. We have to struggle to rid of the gunk in our hearts. That include turning away from factors which influence darkness so the heart can receive the light.

ٱللَّهُ نُورُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ مَثَلُ نُورِهِۦ كَمِشْكَوٰةٍۢ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ ۖ ٱلْمِصْبَاحُ فِى زُجَاجَةٍ ۖ ٱلزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌۭ دُرِّىٌّۭ يُوقَدُ مِن شَجَرَةٍۢ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍۢ زَيْتُونَةٍۢ لَّا شَرْقِيَّةٍۢ وَلَا غَرْبِيَّةٍۢ يَكَادُ زَيْتُهَا يُضِىٓءُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌۭ ۚ نُّورٌ عَلَىٰ نُورٍۢ ۗ يَهْدِى ٱللَّهُ لِنُورِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَيَضْرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْأَمْثَٰلَ لِلنَّاسِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌۭ

God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The Parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of the West, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! God does guide whom He will to His Light: God does set forth Parables for men: and God does know all things.

Qur'an An-Nur 24:35

May Allah shine us with His Light. Ameen. Please don't forget us in your night prayers. JazakAllahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
