In Islamic and Qur’ānic context, the word ‘Noor’ (Arabic: نور) takes on profound spiritual and symbolic significance. It is frequently mentioned in the Qur’ān to describe the divine light of Allāh, often symbolizing knowledge, guidance, and illumination.

The Qur’ān invites us to understand the importance of fostering a strong and cohesive community, recognizing it as a source of strength, guidance, and spiritual growth.

The Qur’an serves as a spiritual guide, source of law, cultural inspiration, and moral compass. The absence of the Qur’an would undoubtedly have profound implications for not only Muslims but all humans and their way of life.

In the historical context of early Islam, the Ansar were the local inhabitants of Madinah who pledged their support to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and welcomed the early Muslim community, the Muhajirun (emigrants), when they migrated from Makkah to Madinah to escape persecution.
