السراج: الزاهر بفتيلة ودهن، ويعبر به عن كل مضيء، قال: وجعل الشمس سراجا [نوح/ 16] ، سراجا وهاجا

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالى: ﴿وسراجا منيرا﴾ [الأحزاب: 46] وصفه تعالى بكونه سراجا منيرا لأنه عليه الصلاة والسلام أضاءت الدنيا به وبشريعته بعد أن كانت مظلمة بالكفر. والسراج هو الزاهر بفتيلة ودهن، ثم يعبر به عن كل مضيء ثاقب. ولذلك وصف أضواء النيرات، وهي الشمس بأن سراج، فقال: ﴿وجعل الشمس سراجا﴾ [نوح: 16]
