It brings forth its fruit at all times, by the leave of its Lord. So Allah sets forth parables for men, in order that they may receive admonition.

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.

凭主的许可，按时结果。真主为众人打了许多比方，以便他们记取教诲。

真主是天地的光明，他的光明象一座灯台，那座灯台上有一盏明灯，那盏明灯在一个玻璃罩里，那个玻璃罩仿佛一颗灿烂的明星，用吉祥的橄榄油燃着那盏明灯；它不是东方的，也不是西方的，它的油，即使没有点火也几乎发光--光上加光--真主引导他所意欲者走向他的光明。真主为众人设了许多比喻， 真主是全知万事的。
