Growing in a rocky desert terrain

Yet able to tap water

Appeared gnarled, twisted

Hundred year old trees

Let there be Knowledge

Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

From Darkness to Light

Allah is the Protector of those who have faith: from the depths of Darkness, He will lead them forth into light. Of those who reject faith the patrons are the evil ones: from light they will lead them forth into the depths of Darkness. They will be companions of the fire, to dwell therein (For ever).

( Holy Quran البقرة ,Al-Baqara, Chapter #2 , سورةVerse #257)

Seeking knowledge is my religion!

So long as man clamours for the I and Mine, his works are naught;When all love of the I and Mine is dead, then the work of the Lord is done,For work has no other aim, than getting knowledge,When that comes, the work is put away.The flower blooms for the fruit, when the fruit is borne the flower withers,The musk is in the deer, but it seeks it not within itself, it wanders in quest of grass.- Kabir Das

First Sermon of Buddha (Enlightened One)

And what, monks, is the middle path, by whichthe one who has thus come has gained enlightenment,which produces knowledge and insight,and leads to peace, wisdom, enlightenment, and nirvana?

This is the noble eightfold way, namely,correct understanding, correct intention,correct speech, correct action, correct livelihood,correct attention, correct concentration,and correct meditation.

Mathew XXV 1-71. Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which

took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

2. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

3. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

4. But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

6. And at midnight there was a cry made, ‘Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him’.

7. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

Mathew XXV 8-138. And the foolish said unto the wise, ‘Give us of your oil; for our lamps are

gone out’.

9. But the wise answered, saying, ‘Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves’.

10.And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

11.Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us’.

12.But he answered and said, ‘Verily I say unto you, I know you not’.

13.Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Verse of Light

‘God is the light of the heavens and the earth. The similitude of His light is a niche in which there is a lamp. The lamp is in a Glass, the Glass, like a glistening star, kindled from a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil well nigh glows though no fire has touched it: light upon light. God guides to His light whom He wills, and God strikes parables for human beings, and God knows all things.’

- Qur’an 24:35 AN-NOOR

AT-Tahrim 66: 8

O ye who believe! Turn to Allah with sincere repentance: In the hope that your Lord will remove from you your ills and admit you to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow,- the Day that Allah will not permit to be humiliated the Prophet and those who believe with him. Their Light will run forward before them and by their right hands, while they say, "Our Lord! Perfect our Light for us, and grant us Forgiveness: for Thou hast power over all things."
