Recognition of Imam Part II - Light versus Darknesses
Light versus Darknesses
Tags: sun
In verse (6:1), God says: ""Praise be to Allah, Who has created the heavens and the earth and has appointed darknesses and light. Yet those who disbelieve ascribe rivals unto their Lord"".
In this verse, God is praised on account of the fact that He created the heavens and under them, the earth, and created darknesses and against them appointed the light. This means that God created the world of religion, which also contains within itself the heavens, the earth, darknesses and light. The importance of light is that without it, the world of religion will vanish, just as it is a fact that without the material sun in the centre of this material solar system, it would become dysfunctional and perish, for the subsistence and the order of the latter, depend on the former. Similarly, the subsistence and order of the world of religion depend on the light of Imamat, which is the sun of the world of religion.
