God is the Light
God is the light of the heavens and the earth. The likeness of His light is as a niche where a lamp burns - the lamp in a glass and the glass, as it were, a star of brilliance. The lamp is kindled from a blessed tree, an olive neither of the East nor the West, the oil of which is almost in candescent of itself without the touch of fire. Light upon light. God guides us to His light whom He wills.
Qur’an, Surah 24.35
