Cahaya Ilahi

Surah An-Nur: Verse 35-


Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth.

The metaphor of His Light

is that of a niche

in which there is a lamp,

the lamp inside a glass,

the glass like a brilliant star,

lit from a blessed tree, an olive,

neither of the east nor of the west,

its oil all but giving off light

even if no fire touches it.

Light upon Light.

Allah guides to His Light whoever He wills

and Allah makes metaphors for mankind

and Allah has knowledge of all things.
