  Synopsis Details Reviews  
This work marks the meeting point of 4 different traditions of the Qur'anic commentary: philosophical, Sufi, Shi'ite and theological. It also presents the author's metaphysical commentary and records the earlier commentaries on the Light Verse. It is significant from the point of view of both the history of Qur'anic commentary and Islamic Philosophy. The most outstanding characteristic of the book is that he explains the meaning of light by establishing its metaphysics, encompassing ontology, cosmology, epistemology, psychology, and spiritual wayfaring.
