AN ANALYSIS OF THE
FAMOUS HADEETH OF
JABIR ABOUT THE
PROPHET MOHAMMED
BEING NOOR (LIGHT)
One of the Sufi Ashari Maturidis strongest and most famous proofs
utilized to prove that the prophet Mohammed was first created from
the light of Allah and the rest of the creation was created from his
light is the following hadeeth.
(The Prophet continued and said) 'So the Throne and the
Pedestal are from my light. Paradise and every enjoyment
and perpetual bliss is from my light. The Angels of the
Seven Heavens are from my light. The selected angelic
beings are from my light. The Sun and the Moon and all
the celestial bodies from my light. Knowledge, Gentleness
and Success, from my light. The spirits of the Messengers
and the Prophets, from my light. The martyrs and the
conscious people from the result of my light.
Then Allah created Adam from the Earth, took from that
light and placed it within his forehead. This light was
transmitted to Seth and from him it passed from one pure
soul to another - from goodness to goodness until Allah
transferred it to the loins of Abdullah bin Abd al-Muttalib.
From him, it passed into the womb of my mother, Aminah.
Then He brought me forth into this world. He made me the
Master of the Messengers (Sayyid al Mursalin), Seal of the
Prophets (Khatm an Nabiyyin) and a mercy for all
creations.
From the above it is clear that this hadeeth is fabricated and can not
be used to prove the prophet Mohammed was first created from the
light of Allah and the rest of the creation was created from his light.
