Sheikh Eshragh’s Viewpoint about Nor-al- Anvar (Light of Lights)

ABSTRACT: The most important aspect in Sohrevardi’s though is the meaning of “Light”. According to Soheruardi light is apparently sensual and seems unchangeable. Therefore it is impossible to define the light. After all, the same condition is true for the light of all lights that has created all the other lights and limbos. For this reason human is not able to define the light. Anyhow every man and women can find out the light in the bottom of his/her pure nature and intellectually understand it. He believes that Nour-al-anvar (Light of Lights) requires no factual attributes and it has no redundant on nature attribute, but it has got extra and considerable attributes. The whole extra attributes of Nor-al-anvar (Light of Lights) plus maxim, as well as, all privative attributes are able to turn over an in contingent privative attribute. Luminosity of Nour-al-anvar (Light of Lights) is the source of power, science, life and the entire affirmative attributes of God. Therefore Nour-al-anvar (Light of Lights) has an eternal domination on objects and existence of objects before him is exactly like the presence.
