SubhanAllah! Alhamdulillah, captured these maple leaves the other night, was wondering the way the leaves shine when light touches them against the backdrop of darkness feels like a living metaphor for the Divine guidance. In a world often covered by confusion, hardship, and despair, even the smallest ray of light unveils layers of beauty, detail, and meaning that were hidden.
If such is the effect of worldly light upon creation, then how much greater is The Light of Allah An-Noor, when it illuminates a heart? With His light, what once seemed barren or insignificant becomes radiant with purpose, and what was once obscured by darkness becomes clear. Truly, those whom Allah An-Noor chooses to illuminate are not just shown the path, but are themselves transformed into sources of light for others.
How immense is the blessing of being granted even a portion of that Divine illumination, a gift that not only reveals beauty in the world, but also beauty within the soul. May Allah An-Noor bless us all with it. Ameen.
