Abstract

The light creation of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is first of all the proven knowledge that has been narrated in numerous hadiths in authentic hadith books. On the other hand, God says: "Wajdak zal'a Fahdi" (Zuhi, 7); According to the opposition of "Zaal" and "Hadi" and the apparent meaning of zalalat, that is, astray which is darkness, there is a suspicion of incompatibility with the light of that Prophet. The present research, using the descriptive-analytical method in order to clear this doubt, first quotes these narrations from authentic narrative books, then explains the words "Zal" and "Hadi" from the point of view of the lexicographers and has proved that according to the correct interpretation approaches; The use of the word "Zaal" in this verse does not conflict with the light of that Prophet in the narrations of the creation of light;
Because in the interpretation of the narration, "Zaal" means lost and unknown. In addition, according to the Qur'anic and theological approach, there are levels of guidance and misguidance, and any level of guidance compared to its higher levels can be considered as misguidance. Therefore, the misguidance in this verse has no conflict with the narrations of the creation of light, which have raised a low level of divine guidance towards that Prophet.
