Noor (Sufism)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Noor is the link which binds being to knowledge in Sufism. The word itself means light. Each particle of light that is reflected of the "mirror of the heart" projects spiritual knowledge according to distinctive types of colors. A Sufi can differentiate between the following.

Noor is the spiritual light of a person. It emanates primarily from the forehead, but can bloom from the whole body. A person's spirituality can be judged by the noor emanating from him. Noor is descended from the heavens, reaching the Kabatulallah in Makkah. From there it is distributed to all the Masaajid. There it manifests in those that are spiritually inclined.
