ما هو التفسير الصحيح لكون القمر نوراً في القرآن، بينما يرى العلماء أن نوره ناتج عن انعكاس الضوء، في حين أن الله هو النور؟

There are multiple facets that demonstrate the error in the objection concerning light being an attribute of Allah, as follows:

1. The majority of linguists and exegetes do not view light (النور) as merely a reflection of illumination (الضوء). Rather, they consider Al-Noor and Ad-Diya’ to be synonymous in their linguistic origin. The distinction made in the Qur’an, such as associating Ad-Diya’ with the sun and Al-Noor with the moon, is a matter of varying expression, not a difference in meaning. 2. Light (النور) is not accompanied by burning or harm; rather, it is a pure radiance that illuminates its surroundings, whether physically or spiritually. For this reason, it is fitting to describe Allah with it. Scholars have rejected the notion that Al-Noor is a reflection of illumination. 3. Light (النور) is the origin and source of illumination (الضوء). Therefore, it is fitting to describe Allah the Almighty with it, as He is inherently characterized by attributes of perfection, and He is the Creator and Originator of the light and illumination of the universe. 4. Even if it were argued that light (النور) is a reflection of illumination (الضوء), this applies to the deficient created being, not to the perfect Creator. The meaning of the word “Al-Noor” varies depending on its context. The light of the Creator is an attribute of perfection that does not admit deficiency, unlike cosmic light.

These facets emphasize the importance of distinguishing between what is attributed to Allah and what is attributed to the created, and understanding the differences in the meanings of words in the Arabic language according to context, in order to avoid ambiguity in comprehending Allah's Names and Attributes.
