The term "body" (الجسم) has not been affirmed or denied in the Quran or , and the rule prohibits its absolute use. If the one who uses it intends a correct meaning, we agree with the meaning, not the word itself. As for "Light" (النور), it is one of Allah's Names and Attributes that befits His majesty, not resembling creation. If the questioner has denied Allah being Light, then he must correct this error.
