This episode explores the symbolism of light as a unifying metaphor for the Divine within Christian and Islamic scriptures. By examining the New Testament and the Qur’an, the author illustrates how both faiths view God as the ultimate source of truth, guidance, and moral purity. While Christianity identifies Jesus as the embodiment of light and Islam portrays God as the luminescent guide of the universe, both traditions call for an ethical life defined by justice and compassion. Ultimately, the sources suggest that "living in the light" requires believers to reject the darkness of hatred in favour of communal integrity and human dignity. Through this comparative lens, the work highlights a shared spiritual journey from ignorance toward divine enlightenment.
