August 16 God is the Light of the heavens and earth. His Light is as if there were a niche, in which there is a lamp and the lamp is in a crystal globe. The crystal globe looks like a glittering star, fed from [oil] produced by a blessed olive tree. It is from neither East nor West. The oil itself almost gives light even if it is not touched by fire. Light upon Light, God guides to His Light whomever He wills. God gives parables, explaining to people. God is All-Knowing of everything. God permits the houses of God, in which His name is invoked, to be raised. There He is praised in the mornings and in the evenings by men who are not lured away from God’s Remembrance by trade or sale and they establish prayers, they give alms and they fear [God] on a day [of Judgement] when hearts and eyes are very weary. 24:35-37
