Yielding its fruit in every season by the permission of its Lord? And Allah sets forth parables for men that they may be mindful.

And certainly We have explained for men in this Quran every kind of similitude, but most men do not consent to aught but denying.

And certainly We have explained in this Quran every kind of example, and man is most of all given to contention.

Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth; a likeness of His light is as a niche in which is a lamp, the lamp is in a glass, (and) the glass is as it were a brightly shining star, lit from a blessed olive-tree, neither eastern nor western, the oil whereof almost gives light though fire touch it not-- light upon light-- Allah guides to His light whom He pleases, and Allah sets forth parables for men, and Allah is Cognizant of all things.

And certainly We have set forth for men every kind of example in this Quran; and if you should bring them a communication, those who disbelieve would certainly say: You are naught but false claimants.

And certainly We have set forth to men in this Quran similitudes of every sort that they may mind.
