An example of His Light is like a niche wherein is a lamp [24:35], and the niche is the heart of Muhammad-saww, and the lamp is the Light in which is the Knowledge. And His-azwj Words: the lamp is in a glass, He-azwj is Saying: “I-azwj Wanted to Make you-saww pass away, and Make that which is with you-saww to be with the successor-asws just as the lamp is made to be in a glass, and the glass is as if it is a brightly shining star, ignited from a Blessed tree of olives.
So the origin of the Blessed tree is Ibrahim-as and these are the Words of the Mighty and Majestic: The Mercy of Allah and His Blessings are upon you, the People of the Household, surely He is Praised, Glorious [11:73]. And these are the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Surely, Allah chose Adam and Noah and the progeny of Ibrahim and the progeny of Imran above the worlds [3:33] Offspring, one being from the other; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing [3:34].
(As for): neither eastern nor western [24:35] - He-azwj is saying: “You are neither Jews so that you pray in the direction of the west, nor are you Christians, so that you pray in the direction of the east, but you are the nation of Ibrahim-as”, and Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: Ibrahim was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was (an) upright (man), a Muslim (submitter), and he was not from the Polytheists [3:67].

Allah Guides to His Light ones He so Desires to [24:35], He-azwj is Saying: “The example of your-asws children from you-asws, those who are born unto you-asws, is like the example of the oil which comes out from the olive, Its oil almost illuminates and even though fire does not touch it. Light upon Light. Allah Guides to His Light ones He so Desires to [24:35].
He-azwj is saying that they-asws almost speak with the Prophet-hood even though that has not been Revealed unto them-asws’’.[13] ‘From Abu Ja’far-asws (5th Imam) regarding Words of the Exalted: And if only you could see when they will panic, and they shall not escape, [34:51]. He-asws said: ‘From the voice, and that is the voice from the sky’. And (for) His-azwj Words: and they would be seized from a nearby place [34:51].
He said, ‘From beneath their feet, it would be submerged with them’’.[14] ‘Abu Ja’far-asws (5th Imam) said: ‘By Allah-azwj!
