Allah is a niche in which is a lamp; the lamp is enclosed in a glass; the glass is as if it were a star shining like a pearl, kindled by the blessed olive tree; neither of the east nor of the west; whose oil would almost glow (get ablaze) by itself although the fire does not touch it; light upon light; Allah guides towards His light whomever He wills; and Allah illustrates examples for mankind; and Allah is Knower of everything.
The Quran, 24:35
