Like I said, 'light' is implied as a metaphorical symbol only, ie. conceptually, and it is a reference to Him being a source of guidance and illumination in the spiritual sense only.Nobody said Allah was a form of physical light. Read my comment again. Light is a symbol of God in the Quran. And fire is a symbol of God in Zoroastrianism.
And it is not just one verse in the Quran that claims that. The entirety of the Quran is full of phrases and metaphors where it says that Allah is like light that brings people out of ignorance and darkness. Nobody meant to say that Allah was a form of light, which is very clearly wrong.
It's not used as a physical symbol like it is in Zoroastrianism, where the physical fire itself represents divinity of their god that they worship and pray to.
Two different and distinct concepts, because the latter is considered a form of idol worship, even if the fire itself isn't considered 'god', its still represents their divinity and they have to pray to it.
