Interesting correlation between God and light in major world religions...
Hello all, Smile
 
I have come across some observations which depict an interesting correlation between God and light in the major world religions....

 The Upanishads and enlightened masters have also described God/Brahman to be self-luminous.

In Islam, Allah has 100 name's, and one of them is Alnoor ( the Light).

“God is light,” says Jesus Christ (1 John 1:5), in the Bible in Christianity.

In Judaism, Psalm 76:4 says of God, “You are radiant with light.”

So this correlation between God and light, is a common denominator in these four major world religions.

Imo, the fire worship in Zoroastrianism may be illustrating this correlation between God (Ahura Mazda ) and light as well, light being emitted by the fire.

I would say this may provide more proof that the major world religions are identical in their core, with only superficial differences on the outside creating cause for extremism and conflict. The fact that different religions consider light to be a charecterestic of God may show  that there may be an entity termed God which have a vital place in the multiverse and existence, though He or She is seen to be mere a superstition by atheists. Hence God as an entity may require more research and study to get a better perspective or understanding on Him or Her.  Read
