Books published in partnership with The Islamic Foundation, UK. “May this delightful book bring as much joy and comfort as the song, ‘Cotton Candy Sky’, and may our hearts be filled with peace in the knowledge that with every hardship, comes relief and that Allah is ultimately, in control of all things.” Zain Bhikha (2019) Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, 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. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things.
