| The Environment, Quran and the Burden of Scholars |
|
IT HAPPENED IN the
Masjid of Madinah, the Mosque of the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu alayhe wa
sallam. Those who made Salatul-Maghrib there would mostly come together
to listen to the weekly lecture in tafseer from well-known mufassir (commentator
on the Qur'an) and major scholar of Islam, the late Shaykh Muhammad al-Ameen
Ash-Shinqiti (d.1973). He recited the verse he was going to explain, ayah 56
of Surah al-'Araf, or The Heights. As he read "Nor shall you
spread corruption in the earth after it has been set aright (by God)"
the Shaykh choked up and began to sob. He tried to continue, but could not utter
a word. To the astonishment of those present, for he was not one known for
emotional display, he went on crying inconsolably- until it was time for
the salah of isha, as a matter of fact. He was never seen experiencing
anything like this before or after.

What is the light of God?
|
|
The Prophet tells us that God created angels out of light. Light is a name of
God, and the Koran tells us that "God is the light of the heavens and the
earth" (24:35). In order to understand what angels are, we have to
understand what light is. It will not help us much to think about light in
physical terms. Rather, we have to grasp the signs that are revealed to us when
we observe light.
Normally, we think of light as visible, but in fact, it is invisible. We can
only see light when it is mixed with darkness. If there were only light and no
darkness, we would be blinded by its intensity. Look at what happens when you
gaze at the sun, which is 93 million miles away and is viewed through the
earth's atmosphere. If we moved outside the atmosphere, just few miles closer to
the sun, we could not possibly look at it for a moment without losing our
eyesight. What we call visible light is pretty pale stuff. It can hardly compare
with unfiltered sunlight, much less with the divine light, which illuminates the
whole cosmos. Hence, it is said in Islam that God's light is so bright that
people have all been blinded by it.

How to criticize
or admonish someone? To
admonish your brother in private is to advise him and improve him. But to admonish him publicly is to disgrace and shame him.
