[Machine] That his name be raised and mentioned therein, the men glorify Him therein at morning and evenings. [He is] a light example - like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass. [The niche is] as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things.  

أَنْ تُرْفَعَ وَيُذْكَرَ فِيهَا اسْمُهُ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ فِيهَا بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْآصَالِ رِجَالٌ لَا تُلْهِيهِمْ تِجَارَةٌ وَلَا بَيْعٌ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ} [النور 37] قَالَ «ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ هَذَا الْمَثَلَ» قَوْلُهُ {مَثَلُ نُورِهِ كَمِشْكَاةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ الْمِصْبَاحَ فِي زُجَاجَةٍ} [النور 35] «لِأُولَئِكَ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ لَا تُلْهِيهِمْ تِجَارَةٌ وَلَا بَيْعٌ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَكَانُوا أَتْجَرَ النَّاسِ وَأَبْيَعَهُمْ وَلَكِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ تُلْهِيهِمْ تِجَارَتُهُمْ وَلَا بَيْعُهُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ»
