Qur’ānic occurrences زَيْت

24:35

ٱللَّهُ نُورُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ مَثَلُ نُورِهِۦ كَمِشْكَوٰةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ ۖ ٱلْمِصْبَاحُ فِى زُجَاجَةٍ ۖ ٱلزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّىٌّ يُوقَدُ مِن شَجَرَةٍ مُّبَـٰرَكَةٍ زَيْتُونَةٍ لَّا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَلَا غَرْبِيَّةٍ يَكَادُ زَيْتُهَا يُضِىٓءُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌ ۚ نُّورٌ عَلَىٰ نُورٍ ۗ يَهْدِى ٱللَّهُ لِنُورِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَيَضْرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْأَمْثَـٰلَ لِلنَّاسِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The Parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! Allah doth guide whom He will to His Light: Allah doth set forth Parables for men: and Allah doth know all things.

Nounزَيْتُونٌ2 senses · 1 main

Core sense — the olive-tree; the olive, its fruitgenerated

[The olive-tree;] a well-known kind of tree, from which زَيْت is obtained; a tree of the kind called عِضَاه.

As, on the authority of 'Abd-El-Melik Ibn-Sálih Ibn-'Alee: a single tree of this kind lasts thirty thousand years, and every tree of this kind in Palestine was planted by the ancient Greeks who are called the Yoonánees.

Also the fruit of that tree; or it has this second meaning and is applied figuratively to the tree; or it properly has both meanings. [It is a collective generic noun:] ism waḥda with ة.

According to some, the ن is a radical letter and the ى is augmentative, because they said ارض زتنة [i. e. أَرْضٌ زَتِنَةٌ, like أَرْضٌ عَضِهَةٌ from العِضَاهُ], meaning “a land in which are زَيْتُون”, so that the measure is فَيْعُولٌ; and if so, its proper place is art. زتن.

For the phrase in the Kur 95:1, وَالتِّينِ وَالزَّيْتُونِ, see تِينٌ.
