Noor o Bashar-Jibreal(as)
“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)
The Holy Prophet ﷺ is both Noor(light) and a Human being(unique and perfect)
Concept of noor
Hazrat Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) is made of Noor but when he used to appear before Hazrat Maryam (ra) he used to appear in the form of a human being. (19/17)
Hazrat Umar Farouk (ra) narrates that once a person came before them. The Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ asked him if he knew who that person was, he replied: “Allah Ta’ala and His beloved Rasool ﷺ know better.” The Prophet ﷺ said that it was Jibraeel (alaihis salaam). (Mishkaat; Bukhari Shareef) This Hadith proves that although the Sahaba referred to Hazrat Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) as a man since they saw him in the form of a human being, yet they accepted that he was in actual fact an Angel made from Noor.
On many instances, jibreal(as) came in the form of Sahabi-e-Rasool named Hazrat Wahia Kalbi (ra).
“The very first thing which Almighty Allah created was my Noor.” (Tafseer Roohul Bayaan; Madarijun Nabuiwat)
“O Jaabir! Verily, before the creation of anything else, Almighty Allah created the Noor of your Nabi from His Noor.” (Muwahibul Laduniya; Zirkani Shareef)
Sayyida Halima Sa’adiya (ra) said that when she used to feed the Holy Prophet ﷺ milk in his infancy, she never felt the need for a light in her house. (Bayaanul Miladun Nabwi; Tafseer Mazhari).
Sayyida Safiya (ra), the aunt of the Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ states that on the eve of the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ she was present in his house. She said that she saw his Noor became more powerful than the light from the lamp. (Shawaahidun Nubuiwat)
Hazrat Ali Murtuza (ra) said that when the Beloved of Allah ﷺ spoke, Noor (light) used to be seen emerging from between his blessed teeth. (Muwahibul Laduniya; Anwaarul Muhammadiyah)
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (ra) states that when the beloved Prophet ﷺ smiled, then the walls use to glow with his Noor. (Muwahibul Laduniya; Shifa Shareef)
Hazrat Anas (ra) states that the day in which the Prophet ﷺ arrived in Madinatul Munawwarah, everything in Madinatul Munawwarah became bright through his Noor. (Tirmizi Shareef; Ibn Majah)
Ummul Mo’mineen, Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (ra) is recorded to have said: “In total dark nights, I used to put the thread into a needle with the help of the Noor of the Holy Prophet ﷺ.” (Shara Shifa Bar Hashia Naseemur Riaz)
Hazrat Imam-e-Azam Abu Hanifa (ra) praises the Holy Prophet ﷺ in the following poem: “You are that Noor that the full Moon is brightened by your Noor and you are with your beauty and elegance a shining sun.” (Qasidaul Nu’maan)
When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
