ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتِ
(of) the heavens
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۚ
and the earth
مَثَلُ
(The) example
نُورِهِۦ
(of) His Light

the lamp

زُجَاجَةٍ‌ۖ
a glass

كَأَنَّهَا
as if it were
كَوۡكَبٌ
a star

٣٥
Allāh is the Light1 of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light2 is like a niche within which is a lamp;3 the lamp is within glass, the glass 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. Allāh guides to His light whom He wills. And Allāh presents examples for the people, and Allāh is Knowing of all things.

In

(which) Allah ordered
ٱللَّهُ
(which) Allah ordered

Glorify
لَهُۥ
[to] Him
فِيهَا
in them
بِٱلۡغُدُوِّ
in the mornings
وَٱلۡأَصَالِ
and (in) the evenings
٣٦
[Such niches are] in houses [i.e., mosques] which Allāh has ordered to be raised and that His name be mentioned [i.e., praised] therein; exalting Him within them in the morning and the evenings1

and the eyes
٣٧
[Are] men whom neither commerce nor sale distracts from the remembrance of Allāh and performance of prayer and giving of zakāh. They fear a Day in which the hearts and eyes will [fearfully] turn about -
24:38

ٱللَّهُ
That Allah may reward them

٣٨
That Allāh may reward them [according to] the best of what they did and increase them from His bounty. And Allāh gives provision to whom He wills without account [i.e., limit].
24:39
وَٱلَّذِينَ
But those who
كَفَرُوٓاۡ
disbelieve
أَعۡمَـٰلُهُمۡ
their deeds
كَسَرَابِۭ
(are) like a mirage
بِقِيعَةٍ
in a lowland
يَحۡسَبُهُ
thinks it
ٱلظَّمۡـَٔـانُ
the thirsty one
مَآءً
(to be) water
حَتَّىٰٓ
until
إِذَا
when
جَآءَهُۥ
he comes to it
لَمۡ
not
يَجِدۡهُ
he finds it
شَيۡــًٔا
(to be) anything
وَوَجَدَ
but he finds
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
عِندَهُۥ
before him
فَوَفَّـٰهُ
He will pay him in full
حِسَابَهُۥ‌ۗ
his due
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
سَرِيعُ
(is) swift
ٱلۡحِسَابِ
(in) the account
٣٩
But those who disbelieved - their deeds are like a mirage in a lowland which a thirsty one thinks is water until, when he comes to it, he finds it is nothing but finds Allāh before him, and He will pay him in full his due; and Allāh is swift in account.
24:40
أَوۡ
Or
كَظُلُمَـٰتٍ
(is) like (the) darkness[es]
فِى
in
بَحۡرٍ
a sea
لُّجِّىٍّ
deep
يَغۡشَـٰهُ
covers it
مَوۡجٌ
a wave
مِّن
on it
فَوۡقِهِۦ
on it
مَوۡجٌ
a wave
مِّن
on it
فَوۡقِهِۦ
on it
سَحَابٌ‌ۚ
a cloud
ظُلُمَـٰتُۢ
darkness[es]
بَعۡضُهَا
some of it
فَوۡقَ
on
بَعۡضٍ
others
إِذَآ
When
أَخۡرَجَ
he puts out
يَدَهُۥ
his hand
لَمۡ
hardly
يَكَدۡ
hardly
يَرَٮٰهَا‌ۗ
he (can) see it
وَمَن
And (for) whom
لَّمۡ
not
يَجۡعَلِ
Allah (has) made
ٱللَّهُ
Allah (has) made
لَهُۥ
for him
نُورًا
a light
فَمَا
then not
لَهُۥ
for him
مِن
(is) any
نُّورٍ
light
٤٠
Or [they are] like darknesses within an unfathomable sea which is covered by waves, upon which are waves, over which are clouds - darknesses, some of them upon others. When one puts out his hand [therein], he can hardly see it. And he to whom Allāh has not granted light - for him there is no light.
