Nūr (Arabic: النور) is a term in Islamic context referring to the "cold light of the night" or "heatless light", i.e., the light of the moon. This light is used as a symbol for "God's guidance" and "knowledge", a symbol of mercy in contrast to Nar, which refers to the diurnal solar "hot light", i.e., fire.
