Today's Ayat for Wednesday, 2018-07-18 / 05 Dhu al-Qi`dah 1439

God is the light of the heavens and the earth. His light may be compared to a niche containing a lamp, the lamp inside a crystal of star-like brilliance lit from a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west.a The [luminous] oil is as if ready to burn without even touching it. Light upon light; God guides to His light whom He will. God draws such comparisons for mankind;
God has full knowledge of everything.  

  -- an-Nur 24:35 as rendered by Wahiduddin Khan

اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ مَثَلُ نُورِهِ كَمِشْكَاةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ الْمِصْبَاحُ فِي زُجَاجَةٍ الزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ يُوقَدُ مِن شَجَرَةٍ مُّبَارَكَةٍ زَيْتُونَةٍ لَّا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَلَا غَرْبِيَّةٍ يَكَادُ زَيْتُهَا يُضِيءُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌ نُّورٌ عَلَىٰ نُورٍ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِنُورِهِ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْأَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ
وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

IslamAwakened has been asked to add commentary to our Today's Ayat
This is today's comment:

As fallible human science moves forward we keep seeing the glory of Allah's handiwork.
Over and over again these exposed miracles keep reflecting what we have already been told in His book.
Some will call it coincincidence, some will call it retrospective interpretation
Believers will see it as light upon light.

This is an OPINION. 
We must always read the verse(s) for ourselves!
