The Light - 24:35 God is the light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like this: a cavity with a lamp in it. The lamp is in a glass vessel. And that glass vessel is like a pearly planet. Its fuel is from a luxuriant tree that produces olive oil, which is not connected to the west nor to the east. Its oil gives light almost without touching fire. It is light upon light. Allah brings to His light whoever He wills. This is how Allah gives such examples to the people. Allah knows everything.
