People keep tellin me that prophet SAWS is a noor therefore he did not pass away. They also use quotes from the quran to prove their point. Please assist me with this issue. Jazahkhallah
Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah's guidance)
The Aqidah of Ahlus-Sunnah wal Jamaah is that Allah Ta'ala created the prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) with (Noor) light before any other thing and it was a created light. This noor is never a part from Allah�s noor. Anyone who believes that the prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam's) Noor a part of Allah Ta'ala�s noor is a belief of Shirk and similitude to that of Christians.
Nabi (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) said, �Do not exaggerate in my praises as the Christians exaggerated in the praises of Eesa (Alaihis Salam), thus, raising him to the position of God.�
Allah Ta�ala states in the Qur�aan, �Say (O Muhammad), indeed I am a human like yourselves.�
Allah Ta�ala says in Surah Maidah, �Indeed there has come to you from Allah a light (noor) (Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) and a plain book (Qur�aan) wherein Allah guides all those who seek his good pleasure to ways of peace.�
In another place, Allah Ta'ala says:
"You will die (O Muhammad) and they (too) will die." (Surah Az Zumar v;30)
With reference to these Aayats, it means that the Prophet was a human being and the actions that emanate from the respected body of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) was light and a means of guidance in directing people towards the straight path.
Therefore, the explanation of Rasulullah being Noor and not a human being is incorrect.
