An-Nur

النور

Name of Allah

The Light — the light of the heavens and the earth.

Overview

An-Nur — The Light: the light of the heavens and the earth.

The form النور occurs in 12 ayahs (for example 2:257, 5:16, 6:1). Those passages are listed below, found by matching the Arabic word form rather than the translation.

The enumeration of ninety-nine names comes from a hadith, not from the Quran, and the lists differ between narrations. IslamicGraph records the traditional set and shows, for each name, the ayat where that exact Arabic form occurs — so what rests on the Quran and what rests on the enumeration stay visible as different things.
