The Qur’an makes rich references to light, tying it to revelation, and light consequently permeates the culture and visual arts of the Islamic lands. God Is the Light of the Heavens and the Earth explores the integral role of light in Islamic civilization across a wide range of media, from the Qur’an and literature to buildings, paintings, performances, photography, and other works produced over the past 14 centuries.

The objects discussed include some of the first identifiable works of Islamic art—modest oil lamps inscribed in Arabic, which developed into elaborately decorated metal and glass lamps and chandeliers.

Mike Cavanagh’s tale had me saying “Listen to This” to all nearby. The quality of the material is what should be judged, not whether the author
has certain letters after his name.
The book was easy to go through, and the complexity of the network increased
