Do God's attributes manifest in His creatures, like the manifestation of God's word in the heart of the Quran حافظ (memorizer), or the manifestation of God's light upon the earth?

God forbid that the attribute of the Creator should indwell in the creation, for an attribute does not part from its described object to indwell in another. As for the earth shining with the light of its Lord on the Day of Resurrection, it is the manifestation of the effect of that great attribute by illuminating the earth when Allah reveals Himself to judge among His servants, and not the indwelling of His sacred light in the earth. This light might be the one mentioned in the Hadith: "His veil is Light," or another light that appears upon the Divine Manifestation.
