Recognition of Imam Part II - Perfection of Light

Perfection of Light

Tags:

Here arises an important question: How does God perfect His light? Is His light not complete and perfect pre-eternally and post-eternally? The answer is that undoubtedly, the light of God is eternally perfect and complete and as such there is never any imperfection in it. However, in the world of religion, in accordance with the providence (maslahat) of God, some cycles are fixed such that in each of these the blessed and holy light of God unites itself with a great number of pure souls through knowledge and good deeds. Thus, with respect to the illumination of these souls, it is said that He will perfect His light.
