اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأرْضِ مَثَلُ نُورِهِ كَمِشْكَاةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ الْمِصْبَاحُ فِي زُجَاجَةٍ الزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ يُوقَدُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ زَيْتُونَةٍ لا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَلا غَرْبِيَّةٍ يَكَادُ زَيْتُهَا يُضِيءُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌ نُورٌ عَلَى نُورٍ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِنُورِهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الأمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth.
The Parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp:
the Lamp enclosed in Glass:
the glass as it were a brilliant star:
Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it:
Light upon Light!
Allah doth guide whom He will to His Light: Allah doth set forth Parables for men: and Allah doth know all things.
Al-Qur'an, 024.035 (An-Noor [The Light])

Allah memberi nur (cahaya) langit dan bumi.
Umpama cahayaNya, seperti lubang didinding rumah, didalamnya ada pelita.
Pelita itu di dalam gelas.
Gelas itu seperti bintang yang berkilau-kilauan.
Pelita itu dinyalakan dengan minyak pohon yang diberkati, iaitu minyak zaitun yang (tumbuh) bukan di timur dan bukan pula di barat,
minyak it hampir bercahaya dengan sendirinya,
meskipun tiada disentuh api.
Cahaya berdampingan dengan cahaya.
Allah menunjukkan beberapa contoh untuk manusia.
Allah mengetahui tiap-tiap sesuatu.

this ayah is kiasan for one of the most complex creation of Allah...
the eye...
... fikir-fikirkan.
