Easy :)
First, draw a circle (using Shift tab) and fill it with radial gradient like this:
Now, copy that circle, paste it on the top of the first one and make it smaller. Rotate the gradient fill in that smaller circle for 180 degree. This will create a “shining” effect.
Make another circle resize it to make it smaller than the one we did just now. Fill it in using simple radial gradient fill.
Now make the fourth (this is the last one) circle that’s smaller than third one and use Pen tool to create a shape that will look like this: (select the bottom anchor point and simply delete it).
Done. Now, that wasn’t difficult, was it?

Rick!
It’s beautiful what you’ve done there. Is it ok with you if I write a post about it and use that image in it?
Thanks for the tutorial, here’s what I made off your input…

Used a feather on the glow by going to Effect > Stylize > Feather and also used a Masking Gradient to get a smooth fade toward the bottom tip.
Peace!
Rick
If you meant “from the center” after drawing it “off the center” just reset Gradient Tool from Radial to Linear and then again to Radial…

I guess you ment off the center? :) Using “Gradient Tool” just drag a straight line starting outside the circle and ending on the other side of circle.
Hope that helps.

I managed to do this pretty well, but I just have one question. How do you make a radial gradient offset from the center?
Thanks, I will :)

I love this simplicity ;)
Keep up the good work bro ;)
