Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. His Light (in the Universe) may be likened to a niche wherein is a lamp, and the lamp is in the crystal which shines in star-like brilliance. It is lit from (the oil) of a blessed olive tree that is neither eastern nor western. Its oil well nigh glows forth (of itself) though no fire touched it: Light upon Light. Allah guides to His Light whom He wills. Allah sets forth parables to make people understand. Allah knows everything.

Allah aasmano aur zameen ka noor hai ( kayinaat mein) uske noor ki misaal aisi hai jaise ek taaq mein chiraag rakha hua ho,chiraag ek fanoos mein ho(in a glass shade), fanoos (glass shade) ka haal yeh ho ke jaise moti ki tarah chamakta hua taara, aur woh chiraag zaitoon ke ek aise mubarak darakht ke tail(oil) se roshan kiya jata ho jo na sharqi (eastern) ho na garabi (western), jiska tail (oil) aap hi aap bhadka padta ho chahey aag usko na lagey, ( is taraah) roshni par roshni (badhne ke tamaam asbaab jamaa ho gaye hon). Allah apne noor ki taraf jiski chahta hai rehnumayi farmata hai. Woh logon ko misaalon se baat samjhata hai, woh har cheez se khoob waqif hai

(Those who are directed to this Light are found) in houses which Allah has allowed to be raised and wherein His name is to be remembered: in them people glorify Him in the morning and in the evening,

(Uske noor ki taraf hidayat paney waley) un gharon mein paye jatey hain jinhein buland karne ka aur jin mein apne naam ki yaad ka Allah ne izan (ijazat) diya hai
