The purpose of this book is to demonstrate, through Qur’anic analysis, that the sublime attribute of Allah (SwT) is the act of creation. Using various verses, it is illustrated that the best of Allah’s creation are His prophets, whom He endowed with His eternal light. This light is transmitted through the messengers, from Adam to Muhammad, and eventually to the guardians of the final message, the Ahlul Bayt. The author aims to show that through this transference, the initial cause behind creation manifests as the most perfect effect, thus completing the cycle of life.
