اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ مَثَلُ نُورِه ِِ كَمِشْكَاة ٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاح ٌ الْمِصْبَاحُ فِي زُجَاجَة ٍ الزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَب ٌ دُرِّيّ ٌ يُوقَدُ مِنْ شَجَرَة ٍ مُبَارَكَة ٍ زَيْتُونِة ٍ لاَ شَرْقِيَّة ٍ وَلاَ غَرْبِيَّة ٍ يَكَادُ زَيْتُهَا يُضِيءُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَار ٌ نُورٌ عَلَى نُور ٍ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِنُورِه ِِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الأَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيم ٌ

God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which there is a lamp, the lamp is encased in a glass, the glass is like a radiant planet, which is lit from a blessed olive tree that is neither of the east nor of the west, its oil nearly gives off light even if not touched by fire. Light upon light, God guides to His light whom He pleases. And God sets forth examples for the people, and God is aware of all things.
