Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things.[Holy Quran 24:35] We should hasten ourselves to the light of truth as we hasten to get ourselves into the light of the day (the sun). The light of Allah (God) is even greater than the light of our day (the sun). We must learn to be intelligent enough to distinguish truth from falsehood and seek refuge in the God of truth.

First, He created Himself and He was Light of Himself. He emitted light from the live atom of Self. And they still can do that. They can crown you with light. I say, my friends, wake up. The Black man does this. He creates as light out of darkness where there was no light and calls forth light to come.

He takes and puts Him a planet far out on the edge of the power of the Sunlight, and warms it. They call it Pluto or Plouton. Pluto is a scientific name representing ‘A Little Fool.’ It comes back to you and me. For 400 hundreds years we are off from our people, frozen - up in the power of the white man. We could not rotate according to the light and power of the wisdom of our Own God. Pluto sits out there, something like four - billion six - hundred million miles from the Sun; but still just a touch of the Sun moves her. Think that over. The Sun has so much power in her that she just touches Pluto on Her equator and makes her to make the same speed of rotation as all of the other planets. All praises are due to Allah!

This “1” was already here in the darkness, but nothing did not give It to us until the time brought It about, then when the time brought It about, It emerged out there into our view as a Revolving light. It was a light revolving that was hidden there in the dark. - The Hon Elijah Muhammad
