Electricity Mentioned in Quran?

SalamunAlaikum Brothers and sisters,
2435 Free-Minds God is the Light of the heavens and the Earth. The example of His light is like a concave mirror within a lamp, the lamp is within a glass, the glass is like a radiant planet, which is lit from a blessed olive tree that is neither of the east nor of the west, its oil nearly gives off light even if not touched by fire. Light upon light, God guides to His light whom He pleases. And God sets forth parables for mankind, and God is aware of all things.
Rashad Khalifa GOD is the light of the heavens and the earth. The allegory of His light is that of a concave mirror behind a lamp that is placed inside a glass container. The glass container is like a bright, pearl-like star. The fuel thereof is supplied from a blessed oil-producing tree, that is neither eastern, nor western. Its oil is almost self- radiating; needs no fire to ignite it. Light upon light. GOD guides to His light whoever wills (to be guided). GOD thus cites the parables for the people. GOD is fully aware of all things.2435 Hilali/Khan Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is as (if there were) a niche and within it a lamp, the lamp is in glass, the glass as it were a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east (i.e. neither it gets sun-rays only in the morning) nor of the west (i.e. nor it gets sun-rays only in the afternoon, but it is exposed to the sun all day long), whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself), though no fire touched it. Light upon Light! Allah guides to His Light whom He wills. And Allah sets forth parables for mankind, and Allah is All-Knower of everything.
I'm Just reflecting some thoughts..
Is this Verse Referring to A Halogen Lamp or something similar??
Tree does have Roots(Power Stations) Trunk,Branches and Leaves(The Grid including substaions,11KV Lines,230Volt Lines etc) Moreover No fire to Burn the Tree??
The Parable of Allah's Light? It is visible to us only when there is Electricity..?
Please Correct me if I'm Wrong.. -

Please stick to the OP's original intent and questions instead of deviating the thread. One can start a new topic about 'sun gods in the quran of the ancient pagans' in the proper section.

SC and Matin, the only thing that Everwhine is doing is to add to his reputation as an illiterate fool. 24/35 clearly gives the word 'MATHAL'/example/analogy/metaphor but Everwhine can't read it. See, years ago when he left his village, he left his brains there and so you can take the paindoo out of paindustan, but u cant take the paindoo-ness out of him. He's still the type of you who'd read second-rate critiques of AQ and AI and swallow them up )

Hi couldn't help myself
God didn't say not to worship the sun or moon But,
Qamara = to deceive/beguile/circumvent/desire to do evil without someone knowing
Whence it proceeded.(p 2562)
Shamasa = enmity/Niggardly/tenacious/avaricious.(p 1956)But not to be evil but be nice like him.

I'm not sure who or what OP is but anyhow, my response was not devitated but followed his request

If you'd like, you can delete my post above or transfer to its appropriate section, and have members "study" for themselves here (if they only knew). I conduct myself not to deviate but with "one exception".
Thanks for the advice though.

Peace Brothers n sisters
I was tryin to understand the Meanin of 'KawKab' with regards to the recent knowledge that there are 3 more Dwarf Planets(Pluto,Ceres and UB313) in the Solar System Makin the Total of Planets to 11My friend pointed out that 124 might be Referring to the Planets of the System.. So i just checked what word was used. and found 'Kawkab' was used.
Refering to LaneLexicon
'Kawkab' Used also in 676, 124, 2435, 376, 822Term 'Najm' Used many times to refer Stars. So 'Kawkab' Can be something different.. What is the Word meaning of 'Kawkab' Not found in the Root List of Lexicon.. I mean the link is not found.. Where else is there a Good Arabic Dictionary?

I intrepret this verse to mean God is not the exclusive property of one religious tradition.The verse begins "God is the light of the heavens and the earth," to me this means that God is the source of all transandent "encounters".Let me elaborate.Thourghout history and in nearly every culture there have been men and some women who have claimed to encounter a transandence.In Buddism this is known as "nirvana" and in Monotheistic faiths this iniffable,and indescrebable transandence is called "God".So all religions thus are correct since thier source is God.Yet every religion is very different.So how can they have encountered the same God.The answer is they intrepated the experience differently.And since all intrepations are basically correct all religions are correct.Contineing "The parable of this light is,as it were,that of a niche containing a lamp, the lamp is enclosed in glass,the glass shining like a radiant star".The first line showed that God is the source of all religions this line shows the light is "like a radiant star" meaning that the glow of revelation is always powerful and mankind will always experience divine love."A lamp lit from a blessed tree an olive tree that is neither of the east nor the west".These one is the most important line.The olive tree was from antiquity consedered a sign of peace.So God lits his light and since he is describing himself as olive oil a sign of peace God is peace.Also this line has another meaning that signifies religious plurlism.The olive tree signifies the continuity of revelation,which springs from one root (God) but branches into a rich and beutifully diverse religious experiences that cannot be confined to a single locale in other words "neither of the east nor the west".Now to the end of the ayah"the whereof is so bright that it would well-nigh give light of itself,even though fire had not touched it".Meaning that God's love is never extungused.The verse ends "light upon light".Thus my understanding of this highly mysticly verse of the Quran is that it is a procalmation of religious pluralism.And one can fully understand this verse's signifagence when read with "Unto every people we have gaven a differnt way of life".So these verses procliam brotherhood and peace.So what about the Quran's condemnation of idol worship.I think the Quran is condeming are stone idols of ego,greed,and selfishness.So what about the Quran saying Unbeilvers will go to hell.To my knowledge the root for Kafir KFR also mean not accepting a kind gift or hiding a seed.So it can also be translated as Ungratful.And there are many ungratful muslims(so they are Kafir).So then what about the Quran condemnation of Jews for not follwing God.Well taken into context these verses become pluralist.Resarch by scholars show arabian Jews were almost like Gentiles.They even may have worshiped arabian gods.So the Quran is just saying that they should follow their Torah.The Quran condemns the trinity as polytheism.Well this to can be better understud using context.The Quran is not condeming the trinaty as held by all christians per se.Instead it is condeming christian Byzantine imperialism by using the trinaty.Now back to the ayah I think it preachs radical pluralism and brotherhood.Insigna I think your intrepation is good but I think it robs the ayah of its mystic quality.But then agian my intrepretation can be wrong.This immensly amazing verse may never be explained peace.
