Surah An Noor Ayat 35
God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The allegory of His light is that of a pillar on which is a lamp. The lamp is within a glass. The glass is like a brilliant planet, fueled by a blessed tree, an olive tree, neither eastern nor western. Its oil would almost illuminate, even if no fire has touched it. Light upon Light. God guides to His light whomever He wills. God thus cites the parables for the people. God is cognizant of everything.
Surah An Noor Ayat 36
In houses which God has permitted to be raised, and His name is celebrated therein. He is glorified therein, morning and evening.
Surah An Noor Ayat 38
God will reward them according to the best of what they did, and He will increase them from His bounty. God provides for whomever He wills without reckoning.
Surah An Noor Ayat 39
As for those who disbelieve, their works are like a mirage in a desert. The thirsty assumes it is to be water. Until, when he has reached it, he finds it to be nothing, but there he finds God, Who settles his account in full. God is swift in reckoning.
