Abstract

This article studies "Light" from three different viewpoints: Quran and Traditions (Divine language), Illumination Wisdom (Language of philosophy) and Moulana Poems (mystic poems and literary language).
In illumination wisdom, "the prime light" is considered as origin and source of existence, namely God's luminescence illuminates continuously, manifests Himself through his light, creates everything and grants life by His ray. Respectively light is one of the most important concepts in Islam and has been used in Holy Quran. Also Moulana under the influence of the concept of light, has used it abundantly in his poems. In this article an attempt has been made to study the concept of light from the three above-mentioned perspectives and to show their similarities and differences manifested in these sources.
