አላህ የሰማያትና የምድር አብሪ ነው ፡ ፡ የብርሃኑ ምሳሌ በውስጧ መብራት እንዳለባት ( ዝግ ) መስኮት ፣ መብራቱ በብርጭቆ ውስጥ የኾነ ፣ ብርጭቆይቱ ፍፁም ሉላዊ ኮከብ የምትመሰል ፣ ምሥራቃዊው ምዕራባዊም ካልኾነች ከተባረከች የወይራ ዛፍ ዘይቷ እሳት ባይነካውም እንኳ ሊያበራ የሚቀርብ ከኾነች ( ዘይት ) የሚቃጠል እንደ ሆነ ( መብራት ) ነው ፡ ፡ ( ይህ ) በብርሃን ላይ የኾነ ብርሃን ነው ፡ ፡ አላህ ወደ ብርሃኑ የሚሻውን ሰው ይመራል ፡ ፡ አላህም ለሰዎች ምሳሌዎችን ያቀርባል ፡ ፡ አላህም በነገሩ ሁሉ ዐዋቂ ነው ፡ ፡
Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth : His light ( in the universe ) may be likened ( to the light of ) a lamp in a niche : the lamp is in a glass shade : the glass shade is like a glittering star and lamp is lit with the olive oil of a blessed tree which is neither eastern nor western : its oil is ( so fine ) as if it were going to shine forth by itself though no fire touched it ( as though all the means of increasing ) light upon light ( were provided ) ; Allah guides to His light whomever He wills . He cites parables to make the Message clear to the people ; He has perfect knowledge of everything .
