What is Noor (Divine Energy)?
Naveed Akhtar from Samanduri, Pakistan, has asked a question.
'When Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)'s Lower Self was purified, he transformed from man to Noor.'
'So what died [when it was said that Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) departed the world]?'
'Because Noor cannot die.'
'My other question is: when a common person's Lower Self is purified, do they transform into Noor too?'
A human being is a combination of different things.
A human being is a compound creature.
In which there is a body made of clay.
Which has flesh, bones and blood running through it.
And in that body, there are invisible souls - which you cannot see.
Similarly, Muslims have developed incorrect notions of what Noor is.
They think Noor is something like light.
There have been instances where Noor was used as a metaphor for light.
But if you talk about Noor itself,
well, it is not something that you can see.
Noor is not something you can see.
For example, electricity.
There are cars that run on electricity.
Machines run on electricity.
And the light bulbs run on electricity too.
Had electricity been light,
then wouldn't the machines emit light because of it?
They would, wouldn't they?
The light is coming from the light bulbs.
When electricity runs through wires, can you see it?
Similarly, Noor cannot be seen because it is divine energy.
It is energy.
Divine energy.
It is divine energy.
When God's name is invoked in the heart, it generates Noor.
And it then enters the souls.
The souls in the human body are revived with the energy of Noor.
Now, the Noor runs through his bloodstream.
Now you will call him Sahib-e-Noor.
Meaning, a person who has the energy which comes from God running through his body.
Do you understand?
And where is that energy stored?
Noor runs through the human body
but the places where it is stored is
is the human heart, the Spiritual Heart.
And his souls.
When Noor enters a person's Lower Self,
and the Lower Self is purified,
then it exhibits divine attributes.
And it becomes free of the evil traits.
But the places where the Noor is stored in the body are the souls.
When a person dies,
then all the Noor in the souls and the Main Human Soul ascend to the higher realms.
And the body is left empty.
Noor does not die - but it doesn't stay in the body.
When we say that somebody has become Noor, we meant to say that they are now a Sahib-e-Noor.
The body is left [in the grave] and the Noor ascends along with the souls.
This is the definition of Noor.
