Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq
۞
2. It had been related on the authority of al-Sadiq (AS) that he (AS) was asked about the Word of Allah, the Mighty and High
“Allah is the Light of the Heavens and the Earth; a likeness of His Light is as a niche in which is a lamp.” So he (AS) replied: Allah has given an example for us. The Prophet (SA) and the Imams, may Allah bless them all, are the Signs of Allah through which He guides people towards Divine Unity, towards His Religion, towards Islamic law, and towards (religious) obligations and recommendations. There is no power except Allah, the Most High and Most Great.
2 - وقد روي عن الصادق عليه السلام أنه سئل عن قول الله عز وجل: (الله نور السماوات والأرض مثل نوره كمشكاة فيها مصباح) فقال
هو مثل ضربه الله لنا، فالنبي صلى الله عليه وآله والأئمة صلوات الله عليهم أجمعين من دلالات الله وآياته التي يهتدى بها إلى التوحيد ومصالح الدين وشرائع الإسلام والفرائض والسنن، ولا قوة إلا بالله العلي العظيم.
