Recognition of Imam Part II - Light and the Divine Pleasure

Light and the Divine Pleasure

In verse (24:35), God says: "Allah guides to His light whom He pleases". This means that without the pleasure and will of God, no human being can recognise and follow His light.

On the one hand, this verse shows that the light of Allah is always in this world and on the other, it shows that there are two levels of guidance: At the first, there is the guidance of God by following which His light is found and at the second level, there is the guidance of His light, by following which peace and eternal salvation are obtained.
