Listen bro, my ex wife’s name is Noor. I wouldn’t put much stock in those comments

funny

It’s ok. I’m over it. 😤😂

Nur literally means 'light'. It is one of Allah's most beautiful names and Surah 24 in the Quran is also called An-Nur snd my favourite Ayah in this Chapter is number 35:

"Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things."

I heard it through the hotel walls earlier this week and it made me cry and gave me chills

When someone says you have Noor, they are complimenting you saying there is something that shines about you. I have given and received this compliment based on personality but also based on a rare characteristic and quality of the face almost shining without any visible external support like additional lighting.

It is said that certain acts of worship cause the face to appear that way!

I hope this helps

With love from Makkah

I’ve been told I have that twice but two different women. I just don’t believe it because I don’t believe I’m pious at all. But it’s when you have taqwa and a certain level of piety that makes your face glow

Why do we always tell people “Be the best version of yourself before starting a relationship?”
I feel this is wrong…first, if you’re someone who constantly wants to be better, this doesn’t work. Also, what happens when you’re going through things and you’re not the best version? What happens is…the going gets tough and then one person leaves the other.
