god is the light of the heavens and the earth. the parable of his light is as it were that of a niche containing a lamp the lamp is in glass the glass like a radiant star lit from a blessed tree an olivetree that is neither of the east nor of the west the oil whereof would wellnigh give light even though fire had not touched it light upon light! god guides unto his light him that wills and god propounds parables unto men since god has full knowledge of all things.
الله نور السماوات والأرض مثل نوره كمشكاة فيها مصباح المصباح في زجاجة الزجاجة كأنها كوكب دري يوقد من شجرة مباركة زيتونة لا شرقية ولا غربية يكاد زيتها يضيء ولو لم تمسسه نار نور على نور يهدي الله لنوره من يشاء ويضرب الله الأمثال للناس والله بكل شيء عليم
