Lesson 335

God is the Light of the Heavens and of the Earth.

Excerpt

God is the Light of the Heavens and of the Earth. His Light is like a niche in which is a lamp-the lamp encased in glass-the glass, as it were, a glistening star. From a blessed tree is it lighted, the olive neither of the East nor of the West, whose oil would well nigh shine out, even though fire touched it not! It is light upon light.

✨ To meditate on today

According to the Koran, in the Verse of Light, God is the Light of the heavens and of the earth, like a lamp in a glass, lit with the oil of a blessed olive tree that is neither of the East nor of the West: “light upon light”. Today, light a candle or look at a lamp for a few moments, and let that light remind you of the Light that illuminates all things, and your own heart.
