The Qur’an on “fluorescence”?

The Qur’an on “fluorescence”?

24:35 Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a brilliant star lit from a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, its oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things.

(Chapter 24 of the Qur’an is called “An-Noor (The Light)”. In regard to Verse 24:35, according to the article “fluorescence” in “miracles-of-quran(dot)com”, olive oil emits light without fire, which is interpreted as fluorescence. It is interpreted that “light upon light” could refer to that we can only see a small part of the spectrum. The rest of the spectrum we cannot see but it is all light. Verse 24:35 mentions olive oil in particular; “extra virgin olive oil” turned out to be the most fluorescent of all oils)(According to the article “first-of-its-kind fluorescence map offers a new view of the world’s land plants” by “nasa(dot)gov”, “scientists from NASA have produced groundbreaking global maps of land plant fluorescence, a difficult-to-detect reddish glow that leaves emit as a byproduct of photosynthesis”, “chlorophyll fluorescence offers a more direct window into the inner workings of the photosynthetic machinery of plants from space”)(According to the article “Fluorescence spectra measurement of olive oil and other vegetable oils” by the US National Library of Medicine, “Fluorescence spectra of some common vegetable oils, including olive oil, olive residue oil, refined olive oil, corn oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, and cotton oil, were examined in their natural state, with a wavelength of 360 nm used as excitation radiation. All oils studied, except extra virgin olive oil, exhibited a strong fluorescence band at 430-450 nm. Extra virgin olive oil gave a different by interesting fluorescence spectrum, composed of 3 bands: one low intensity doublet at 440 and 455 nm, one strong at 525 nm, and one of medium intensity at 681 nm. The band at 681 nm was identified as the chlorophyll band. The band at 525 nm was at least partly derived from vitamin E. The low intensity doublet at 440 and 455 nm correlated with the absorption intensity at 232 and 270 nm of olive oil. The measurements of these fluorescence spectra were quick (about 5 min) and easy and could possibly be used for authentification of virgin olive oil”)(Allah knows best)
