The Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama'ah, according to the opinion of Imam al-Ash'ari, and the Sufis, believe that all existing things originate from His light, peace and blessings be upon him. There is a hadith from Jabir ibn Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated by Abd al-Razzaq, that things are created from his light, peace and blessings be upon him. There is also a hadith from Anas and a hadith from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with them, and from Ibn Abbas and Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated by al-Bukhari in his "Dala'il" and by al-Hakim. And the saying of Allah, the Almighty: "Were it not for you, Adam would not have been created." And the hadith: "Were it not for you, I would not have created the universe." And it is narrated in a hadith by Ibn Asakir, and it was said by Jibril to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Your Lord says: 'Were it not for you, I would not have created the universe, nor would I have created the throne.'" And it is said that if I had taken Ibrahim as a friend, I would have taken you as a friend. The world and its people would not have been created except for your sake, and your status with me. And if it were not for you, I would not have created the world. And Abu al-Qasim said: "If I were not proud of my existence from non-existence, I would not have created you." The word 'ayn' (عين) is used in several meanings: 'ayn' meaning the eye, and 'ayn' meaning the essence or the chief of a people. It is said that the 'ayyan' (أعيان) of God's creation are those who are noble, and the word 'mar' (مرء) refers to the individual. And the angels who are close to God, and the righteous servants of God, are the best of God's creation and their chiefs. Their eyes are the eyes with which they see, and their existence is like the light of the lamp. So, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is the best of them, their chief, and their eyes with which they see, and the light of their existence. It is said that the possessive pronoun refers to the possessed object, meaning the light of their existence. It is also said that 'ayn' means the eye, and the meaning is that they see with their eyes. And Allah knows best. And our master Ali ibn Abi Talib said: "Adam and the souls are their eyes, and the light of what is seen is their light." And al-Shibli said: "The 'ayyan' are the secrets and the guardians of the raids." And al-Hajjam said: "This meaning is agreed upon by the scholars of God, especially concerning the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, as he is the secret of God in the souls and the universe." And Allah knows best. And our master Abd al-Nur, meaning al-Sharif al-Umarani, may Allah have mercy on him, narrated from his sheikh, al-Abbas al-Jati, from his sheikh, Abd Allah ibn Sultan, that he said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, in a dream, and I said to him: 'My master, O Messenger of Allah, are you among the angels and the guards?' He said: 'I am among the angels, the saints, and the messengers, and all of God's creation.' And I am the origin of all existence, the beginning and the end, and the ultimate goal, and no one exceeds me." They said: "I also saw him in a dream and said to him: 'Peace be upon you, O eyes of the eyes, and the secret of the hidden, ancient secret. You are an extension of the initial light of your radiance.'" And it is from the addition of the thing to itself for emphasis and eloquence. This is the most accurate interpretation. It is also said that it is from the addition of the attribute to the described, even though radiance is different from light and is stronger and greater than it. It is also said that it is from the addition of the cause to the effect.
