Verses with زيت

Verses 1–1 of 1

  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    God 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! God doth guide Whom He will To His Light: God doth set forth Parables For men: and God Doth know all things.

    Surah An-Nur, verse 24:35
