Full Meaning of Miysbaah

Miysbaah is a direct Quranic name for boys and girls that means “lamp”, “light”, “oil lamp”, “lantern”. It is used twice in the same verse in Surat an-Noor (chapter 24 of the Quran):

God is the light of the heavens and the earth. His light may be compared to a niche containing a lamp, the lamp inside a crystal of star-like brilliance lit from a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west. The [luminous] oil is as if ready to burn without even touching it. Light upon light; God guides to His light whom He will. God draws such comparisons for mankind; God has full knowledge of everything. (Quran 24:35)
