Surah Nûr

Light, brightness, Creation, Muhammad, the source from which all existence comes, the place where the soul comes

1-We have revealed every being from ourselves with their forms and have held those forms with ourattributes and have presented you with clear evidence in the inner world of existence. It is hoped thatyou would reach the realities of existence of being and look at this world in that state.

2-Those who act according to their own interests and are inclined to act according to their owninterests, each of them inclines to forms and remains in forms. Do not be attracted to thecompassionate state of those who are in that state. Believe in Allah and strive to understand thereligion of Allah and be in that state until your last moment. The group of believers, even if theysuffer, act in order to make the truths known.

3-The state of those who are in their own interest is not suitable for those who are in their own interest,except for those who are inclined to be in their own interest or for those who are inclined to associateothers with Him. The state of those who are inclined to be in their own interest is not suitable for thosewho are in their own interest, except for those who are in their own interest or for those who associateothers with Him. For believers, all these situations are haram (unlawful).

4-Those who criticize those who are on the path of truth with all sincerity, do not come back to theirLord to be among the witnesses. So, they remain in the forms, and what they hear is about the forms.So do not accept what is happening, they can never be of those who know, and they are those whohave abandoned the truth and have gone astray into their own ignorance.

5-Except those who realize their mistakes and act so as not to do them again and purify themselvesfrom evil. Surely, Allah is Forgiving, the Creator of all creation.

6-Those who criticize those who act in unity do not know the truth. They act only for their ownbenefit. After that, those who return to their Lord and are conscious of unity bear witness that they arewith Allah. Surely, those who are in that state are those who act uprightly.

7-And if anyone remains in lies; Unable to comprehend the manifestations within himself, he moveshimself away from Allah’s mercy and protection.

8-Indeed, if he realizes that he has remained in lies, returns to his Lord, witnesses the truths, and actswith the consciousness of being with Allah, then the troubles will be removed from him.

9-If he remains in lies, he will not be able to perceive the manifestations in himself due to his statessuch as anger and quarrel, and will be distant from Allah’s mercy and protection.

10-Are not the attributes of Allah over you? Is He not the Merciful? Indeed, Allah is the One whoaccepts the repentance of those who realize their mistakes and repent, and He is the One who hascontrol over all existence.

11-Indeed, you are people from the groups that believe in fabricated things. Do not ignore the accountof the evils you have done. On the contrary, understand those truths that are good for you. Those whoremain in evils in understanding the functioning of all existence will not gain anything from the truths,and those who are arrogant and turn away from the truths are in great trouble.

12-The believers and those on the path of faith, when they hear the things of conjecture, know what isbest for them and say: These are manifest falsehoods.

13-Why were those who remained in falsehoods not to turn to Allah and witness the truths? They havenot been able to comprehend what is present everywhere at all times. They have remained in liesagainst the truths that belong to Allah.

14-Are not the attributes of Allah over you? Is not He the Merciful? Is He not the One who surroundsyou with His manifestations during your life and until the end? If you do not understand the truths,you will remain in great distress.

15-You speak without investigating the truths thoroughly and without attaining knowledge of them,and you utter words without any meaning. You do not heed the truths that belong to Allah, theDecisive One in existence, and you remain in conjectures.

16-Wouldn’t it be so if you heard those truths? Say, “We cannot speak them without understandingthem.” Say, “I seek refuge in You, the Almighty, from all lies and deficiencies.”

17-If you are among the believers, you will always act with similar words and take lessons from thetruths that Allah has presented to you.

18-Allah shows you His signs from all of His creation, and Allah is the One who has wisdom over allthings.

19-And among those who believe, there are those who love to exalt themselves and to be excessive.They will have great troubles in life and in the end. You are not The Owner of Wisdom, Allah is TheOwner of Wisdom.

20-Are not the attributes of Allah upon you? Is He not the Most Merciful? Indeed, Allah is the Onewho presents all subtleties, the One who created all things from His essence.

21-O you who believe! Do not follow satanic states. Whoever follows satanic states, then those stateswill surely lead you to exaggerate yourself and to disbelieve in bad states. Are not the attributes ofAllah upon you? You will be purified by His mercy, and you will always be in the perception of unity.Whoever wishes will be purified by the realities of Allah and will understand with his wisdom that theOne who makes you hear.

22-Let those of you who are virtuous who have understood the blessings of Allah not fail to impart theknowledge of the realities to those who are near and to the needy and to those who seek to understandAllah, according to their capacity, and let them be forgiving and tolerant. Let them not destroy the lovethat Allah has bestowed upon you. Allah is Forgiving, the Originator of all things.

23-Those who criticize those who are on the path of righteousness and those who cannot understandand recognize those who are on the path of faith; they fail to comprehend Allah and are far from Hismercy, and they remain in great troubles in their lives and in the end.

24-What they say is always their own knowledge, and they act according to that knowledge, and theyfollow their own paths with what they do.

25-If they turn to Allah, who is in authority everywhere and at all times, they will know the truth ofreligion and that Allah is the One who is manifest with His truths.26-The one who is inclined to evil will find the one who is inclined to evil, and the one who is inclinedto good will find the one who does good, and the one who does good will find the one who is inclined to good. Those who are in pure states are free from what others say, they are in forgiveness, and theyare in the virtue of the perception of the attributes that are the reason for existence.

27-O you who believe! Do not enter into houses other than your own, but seek permission and be atpeace with its people. That is better for you. It is hoped that you would understand the existence ofbeing and look at this world with those truths.

28-And if you find no one in the place where you go, do not enter it, nor until permission is given toyou. And if you are told to return, then return. That is what is proper for you. Allah is The Owner ofWisdom in what you do.

29-There is no blame on you if you enter places that are beneficial for you and in dwellings open tothe public. Allah is The Owner of wisdom in what you disclose and in what you do not disclose.

30-Say for the believers: That they may be careful not to deviate from the truth and that they may beprotected from falling into duality. That is the proper position for them. Indeed, Allah makes knownthe truth in what you do at every moment.

31-Tell those on the path of belief: They too should be protected from falling into duality, and they tooshould be careful not to deviate from the truths. They should not reveal the values they carry, exceptfor what is known from the truths. They should cover up the values they carry inside so that they arenot subject to a blow and they should not reveal the values. Except for those who accompany them onthe same path. Their fathers and the fathers of those who accompany them, their children and thechildren of those who accompany them, their confidants and the children of their confidants, theirsincere male and female friends and their children, may reveal the values to those who are on the pathof knowing their souls and those who do not yet have a belief, to those who are perfect in the mannerof behaving in accordance with the manners, to those who are on the path of knowing their souls butdo not reveal their secrets and to those who are not yet aware of anything. So ,let them know thevalues they hide wherever they go and not reveal them, and turn away from their mistakes and act onlyin the unity of Allah. O believers! It is hoped that you would be successful.

32-Behave those of you who are not attached to any place in accordance with the measure of the truth.Be upright in your worship. Help those who are deprived of the truth to believe and inform them.Allah is the Most Gracious and Allah is infinite in His wisdom.

33-Let those who cannot attain the truth of unity be in a state of purification until they attain the virtueof the fact that all existence belongs to Allah. Let them find those who understand the Owner of thepower within them and follow the divine word. Then if they desire to know the truths, present themwith the words of the truths, advise them to do good, and give them the values of Allah to the extent ofyour understanding, and do not be loveless. So, protect them from falling into egoism as long as theyhold fast to the truths and seek to understand life and the realities of forms. Whoever is inlovelessness, then surely, he is far from understanding Allah, the Forgiving, the Merciful, because ofhis hatred and contempt.

34-We have presented to you all that is manifest to you as signs, and We have related to you theexamples of those before you, that you may be admonished to beware of evil and not to associatepartners with Him.

35-Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a lamp in a cell,from there it reflects the light every moment, like a star shining from the inner world to the outerworld. As if it were from a sacred essence, informing of an originality. Let there be nothing in the east and nothing in the west that is the reflection of that essence and nothing that does not touch it. Lightupon light. For whoever wants to understand that light, Allah is the guide from all things and Allahpresents examples for people and Allah is the Owner of the wisdom in all things.

36-Allah is the one who holds all shapes and forms. All existence shows His remembrance and Hisglory. He is the One who shows Himself with His signs in all existence. The manifestations belongingto Him continue throughout all existence, morning and evening, without stopping.

37- The attention of the perfect people is not distracted in receiving and imparting the knowledge ofthe realities, and they do not depart from the remembrance of Allah, and they act with theconsciousness of devotion to Allah at every moment, and they are in purification and share what is inthemselves. They always fear that their hearts will turn away, and they are the owners of insight.

38-Allah rewards those who do good deeds and their virtues increase, and whoever seeks tounderstand Allah without any expectation is provided with sustenance.

39-The deeds of those who ignore the truths are like a mirage in the desert. He thinks he is thirsty andfinds water. He even thinks he has reached it, but he cannot find anything. This is how they find Allah.Thus, he surrenders and thinks he has paid his account. Allah is the One who presents all values in aseries.

40-Or like the endless darkness in the sea, waves are covered with waves, clouds above, darkness oneupon another, so that if he stretches out his hand, he cannot see. Whoever does not recognize the lightof Allah cannot be in that light.

41-Do you not see that all that is in the heavens and the earth shows the manifestations of Allah, andthat all the birds are in obedience to Allah, and that there is wisdom in the movements of those birdsand that they show His manifestations? Allah is the Perpetrator of all creation, The Owner of wisdom.

42-To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all things are in Allah.

43-Do you not see that Allah moves the clouds, then gathers them together, then arranges them ingroups? So, you see the rain coming out from among them and coming down from the sky, andcoming cold from the inside of the mountains. So, whoever desires will attain those truths, andwhoever desires will be deprived of them. You see how the flash of lightning affects.

44-Allah changes the night and the day, one after the other. Surely, in these are lessons for those whohave insight.

45-Allah created from water all moving things. So, some of them walk on their bellies, and some ofthem walk on two legs, and some of them walk on four legs. Allah creates what He wills. Indeed,Allah is Power over all things.

46-Indeed, We have presented every creature with its proofs, so whoever wills, he will find the way toAllah and be on the right path.

47-They say, We believe in Allah and His Messenger and we obey. After saying this, some of themturn back to what they know, and they are not believers.48-When they are invited to Allah and His Messenger so that they may understand the One who is incontrol of them and all things, some of them turn away and turn to what they know.

49-If the invitation is for their own sake, they come to it.

50-Is there a disease in their hearts? Or do they doubt? Or do they fear? Do they think that Allah andHis Messenger will be unjust? Unfortunately, they are the wrongdoers.

51-When they are invited to Allah and His Messenger so that they may understand Him and the Onewho rules over all things, the words of those who understand and believe are: We hear and we obey.They are the successful.

52-Whoever obeys Allah and understands the Messenger and is humble towards Allah and keeps awayfrom evil and does not associate partners with Him, then they are the successful.

53-They swear by Allah that they will be steadfast in their faith. If you had not made them understandthe way, they would have gone astray from the truth. Say: Do not swear. It is clear whether you obeyor not. Allah makes clear the truth of what you do.

54-Say: Obey Allah and obey the Messenger. If you turn to your own knowledge, you will not bearany burden from the truths, nor will you reach the truths that are in you. If you understand Him, youwill find a way to Him. The duty of the one who shows the truths is nothing but to convey the messageclearly.

55-Those who have attained the truths of Allah’s existence are those of you who believe and work onthe right path. Surely, they follow the truths as those before them followed them on earth. Surely, theyconvey the laws of creation in a correct manner, and they internalize and embrace those to whom Heconveys the truths. Surely, they change fear into security, and they worship Me, and they do notassociate anything with Me. Whoever then ignores the truths, they are those who have abandoned thetruths and followed their own understanding, and they remain in duality.

56- Act with the consciousness of devotion to Allah at every moment and purify your minds, share thetruths you have reached and obey the One who shows you the truths. It is hoped that you would attainmercy.

57- Do not think that those who ignore the truths will know their helplessness on earth. They willremain in destructive states and will certainly act in those evil states.

58- O you who believe! Let those who seek to understand the truths you have reached and those whohave not yet reached perfection ask you for permission to understand the stations of wisdom. Let themtie to the reality of the functioning in the first station and then pass through the attribute existence theyattribute to themselves and then tie to the reality of the Essence that holds the existences and obey theprivacy of the three stations. Apart from these, there is no blame on them or on you in visiting oneanother and seeking wisdom from one another. Thus, Allah shows you His signs clearly from everyplace. Allah is the One who rules over all existence with His wisdom.

59-Let those of you who are weak in knowledge ask permission like those before until they attainperfection in a manner. Allah shows you His signs clearly from everywhere. Allah is the One who haswisdom over all things.

60-When the basis of the truth are presented to those who are on the path of knowing themselves, letthem not despair of understanding the unity. So, there is no blame on them if they explain the realitiesof the body without disclosing the values that are presented to them. But it is better for them to beprotected. Allah is the Hearer with His wisdom.

61-Do not impose any hardship on the blind, and do not impose any hardship on the sick. There is noblame on you for taking advantage of the truths in your homes to know yourselves, or in the homes ofyour fathers, or in the homes of your mothers, or in the homes of your friends, or in the homes of yourbrothers, or in the homes of your paternal uncles, or in the homes of your maternal aunts, or in thehomes of your maternal aunts, or in the homes of your faithful friends, all of these, either together orindividually. Then, when you enter the homes, greet each other with the pure truths that belong toAllah, with the joy of the Truth. Allah shows you His signs clearly from all that exists, that you mayreflect.

62-Surely, the believers are those who believe in Allah and understand the Messenger. When theygather together to understand the functioning with the One who showed them the truths, they do notleave. And when they ask questions, they ask permission from Him. Surely, those who ask yourpermission to seek the truth are those who believe in Allah and those who understand the Messenger.So, when they ask your permission to seek the truth, then grant permission to those among them whoare desirous of understanding the truth. They will be upon the forgiveness of Allah. Surely, Allah isForgiving, the Originator of all things.

63-Do not behave the one who shows you the truth as you behave each other. Understand that TheOwner of Wisdom is Allah. Those of you who cannot mend their ways will turn away from the truth,then, act contrary to His commands, and they will remain in fitnah or they will remain in painfuldistress. So, beware of such states.

64-Does not Allah own the wisdom of everything in the heavens and the earth? You do not belong toyourselves, and to Him you will be returned when the time comes. So that at every moment the truth ismade known to them of what they have done. Allah owns wisdom of all things.
