The Verse of Light in arabic, phonetic and english with the recitation of Sheikh Mahmoud Khalîl Al-Hosarî, may Allah have mercy on him.

The Verse of Light is the 35th verse of the 24th surat (The Light) of the Holy Qur'an.

Arabic:

بِسمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحِیمِ

ٱللَّهُ نُورُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ
مَثَلُ نُورِهِۦ كَمِشْكَوٰةٍۢ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ
ٱلْمِصْبَاحُ فِى زُجَاجَةٍ
ٱلزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌۭ دُرِّىٌّۭ
يُوقَدُ مِن شَجَرَةٍۢ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍۢ
زَيْتُونَةٍۢ لَّا شَرْقِيَّةٍۢ وَلَا غَرْبِيَّةٍۢ
يَكَادُ زَيْتُهَا يُضِىٓءُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌ
نُّورٌ عَلَىٰ نُورٍۢ
يَهْدِى ٱللَّهُ لِنُورِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ
وَيَضْرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْأَمْثَٰلَ لِلنَّاسِ
وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌۭ

Phonetic:
Bismillāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

Allahu nooru alssamawati waalardi
mathalu noorihi kamishkatin feeha misbahun
almisbahu fee zujajatin
alzzujajatu kaannaha kawkabun durriyyun
yooqadu min shajaratin mubarakatin
zaytoonatin la sharqiyyatin wala gharbiyyatin yakadu zaytuha yudeeo walaw lam tamsashu narun
noorun AAala noorin yahdee Allahu linoorihi man yashao
wayadribu Allahu alamthala lilnnasi
waAllahu bikulli shayin AAaleemun

Approximate Translation of the Meanings of the verse:

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

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.
