Noor On One's Face A Sign Of Piety?
Quran is very clear about criteria for salvation: إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَالَّذِينَ هَادُوا وَالنَّصَارَى وَالصَّابِئِينَ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ [It is evident from this that the law of retribution is absolutely unbiased. Therefore,] those who profess faith in Muhammad and those [before them] who became Jews and those who are called Christians, and Sabaeans – whoever among them believes in Allah and in the Last Day and does righteous deeds – shall be rewarded by their Lord and [in His gracious presence] they shall have nothing to fear nor shall they grieve [there] . (Quran 2:62) In the presence of such explicit directive, there’s no reason to be astrayed by such discussions. Usually ‘noor’ on someone’s face as a criteria for righteousness in this world has become a misnomer but has no basis in religion except for the indirect inference as mentioned by Ahsan Sahab ( which doesn’t mean that at all ).
