Lamp

Allāh is the Light¹ of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light² is like a niche within which is a lamp;³ the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allāh guides to His light whom He wills. And Allāh presents examples for the people, and Allāh is Knowing of all things.

Blessed is He who has placed in the sky great stars and placed therein a [burning] lamp and luminous moon.

O Prophet, indeed We have sent you as a witness and a bringer of good tidings and a warner

And one who invites to Allāh, by His permission, and an illuminating lamp.

And He completed them as seven heavens within two days and inspired [i.e., made known] in each heaven its command. And We adorned the nearest heaven with lamps [i.e., stars, for beauty] and as protection.¹ That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with lamps [i.e., stars] and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils¹ and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.

Do you not consider how Allāh has created seven heavens in layers¹

And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a burning lamp?

And constructed above you seven strong [heavens]

And made [therein] a burning lamp
