Poll: More iconic verse of the light: Bible or Quran?

MaRy

Surah of Light

Quote:

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 pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose 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.

or

John 8:12

Quote:

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

and the Bible is more iconic

This is on the Imperial Gate of the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople:

It says in Greek:

Quote:

Peace be with you. I am the light of the world

The Bible is far more iconic. Even Muslims know many biblical verses. Christians are completely unfamiliar with the Koran.

Goosey

No one's even heard of that Koran verse (no one I know of)

And also there are more Christians than Muslims, and Christianity is an older religion, and English is the lingua franca of the internet and the civilized world leading to more Bible verses spreading around than the Muslim equivalent.

I tried to read the Koran to see what the fuss is about but it's not much of a cliffhanger. The Bible is the greatest book in history and there is one in every hotel I visit.

And MaRy, please use King James, it's the most iconic version.

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
