In Sufism, the "Black Light" (Nur al-Aswad) refers to a state of divine revelation so intense it blinds ordinary human perception and appears as deep black. It represents the Absolute Reality or the Divine Essence (Dhat) before creation—the "Hidden Treasure" that is beyond all form, duality, and sensory experience.
