In Hinduism, the Vedas and Hindu scriptures consider the Shivalinga as representing a cosmic pillar of light. The Dharmic monotheistic sect the Prajapita Brahmakumaris consider God to be a point of light.


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

“God is light,” says 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.

If you find any further proofs or evidences in this regard, please do share it here.


Thanking you all in advance.

Shiva is Agni, fire. He is described as the invisible fire that is latent in wood, the sap that runs in trees. He is the Copper colored hue of dawn and also the white bright light of the mid day sun.

Thanks.

Reminded me of a book I read to my daughter when she was little. It was an Australian aboriginal tale about the bird who put the fire into wood.

Sometimes the similarities in mythology between cultures is fascinating.
