Surah #70, al-Ma’arij in the riwayah of Qunbul ‘an Ibn Kathir.

Beautiful! 

“There are some among the People of the Book who are upright, who recite God’s revelations during the night, who bow down in worship, who believe in God and the Last Day, who order what is right and forbid what is wrong, who are quick to do good deeds. These people are among the righteous and they will not be denied [the reward] for whatever good deeds they do: God knows exactly who is conscious of Him.”
—   Qur’an, 3:113-115

“God is the Light of the heavens and earth. His Light is like this: there is a niche, and in it a lamp, the lamps inside a glass, a glass like glittering star, fueled from a blessed olive tree from neither east nor west, whose oil almost gives light even when no fire touches it—light upon light—God guides whoever He will to his Light; God draws such comparisons for people; God has full knowledge of everything.”
—   Qur’an, 24:35

AMAZING recitation of Surat Al-Baqarah [2:152-157]

152: So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.

153: O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.

154: And do not say about those who are killed in the way of Allah , “They are dead.” Rather, they are alive, but you perceive [it] not.

155: And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient,

156: Who, when disaster strikes them, say, “Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.”

157: Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided.
