What is the meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “The parable of His light is like a niche in which is a lamp”?

Question : Our Shaykh, what is the answer to the saying of Allah the Mighty and Majestic? We are asking for an example, we need you, professor?

Answer : Yes. To Allah. We are entering. Yes, this is a tangible parable, and the intended meaning is that Allah clarifies that the light of Allah the Exalted in the heart of the believer is like a niche in which is a lamp. It is not intended to be a parable of the light of Allah the Mighty and Majestic, because it is not possible to liken the attribute of Allah the Exalted or Allah Himself the Mighty and Majestic to anything of the created things. Rather, it is a parable of His light in the heart of the believer, as stated by 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and others of the Salaf.
