allah is the light of the heavens and the earth a likeness of his light is as a niche in which is a lamp the lamp is in a glass the glass is as it were a brightly shining star lit from a blessed olivetree neither eastern nor western the oil whereof almost gives light though fire touch it not light upon light allah guides to his light whom he pleases and allah sets forth parables for men and allah is cognizant 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
