I was wondering if the Koran has an equivalent passage to love as to the Bible's 1 Corinthian 13 and what the verse(s) is(are).
Also, if you know of any other religions with that have similar passages about love in their scriptures please let me know.

there are so many verses and chapters talking about Love. not only Qur'an but also what prophet PBUH said and did in the hadith are also talked about LOve;
*Love to your parents;
"Your Sustainer has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that you be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in your lifetime, do not say to them a word of contempt nor repel them, but address them in terms of honor. And, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility and say: My Sustainer! Bestow on them Your mercy, even as they cherished me in childhood." (17:23-24)
*Love to other people:
"It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards East or West; but it is righteousness to believe in God and the Last Day and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask; and for the freeing of captives; to be steadfast in prayers, and practice regular charity; to fulfill the contracts which you made; and to be firm and patient in pain (or suffering) and adversity and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the God-conscious." (2:177)
Other verses;
*When My servants ask you concerning Me, I am indeed close to them: I listen to the call of every supplicant when he calls on Me. (2:186)
*"Say (O' Our Nabi) If ye do love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your sins; Verily, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." (3:31)
*Concept of love in Islam
In Islam, love is first for Allah, occupying the heart and conscience in such a way that it overwhelms everything else. It was reported from a sage: "I never saw a thing but I saw Allah before it, after it, and along with it." The Glorious Qur'an says: "The believers are stauncher in (their) love for Allah." (2:165)
Second, the faithful harbour an intense love for Nabi Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Waalihi Wa Salam). This love in manifested by an desire to follow and imitate his example. The Glorious Qur'an says: "Say (O' Our Nabi) If ye do love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your sins; Verily, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." (3:31)
Third, Islam advocates brotherly love in faith. Human beings can live in blessing and kindness so long as they love each other, show trust-worthiness, and behave according to truth and fairness. This brotherly love in faith also establishes good relations in society when it is done with sincerity and affection. In short, heartfelt love is simply sharing Islam. It is reported that a person was sitting beside Nabi Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Waalihi Wa Salam) when his friend happened to passed by. This man told Nabi Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Waalihi Wasallam): "I love that man for the sake of Allah." Nabi Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Waalihi Wa Salam) asked him if he had told his friend that, and the man answered in the negative. The man stood up, stopped his friend, and told him, "I love you for the sake of Allah." His friend replied: "I love you the way you love for His sake." It is reported that Allah loves that His servant salute one another clearly and openly.
This is the love in Islam. No words can define it. It's something so enigmatic, that only Allah could design it and He alone comprehends it. Wonder of wonders, it is beyond man's conception. Only in Allah can love find true perfection, for love is enduring, patient and kind. It judges all things with the heart, not the mind. Love can transform the most commonplace into beauty and splendor and sweetness and grace. Love is unselfish, giving more than it takes, being unconditional and unhampered by environment. Love never forsakes, it's faithful and trusting, truthful. It is guileless and honest and never deceiving. Love is Allah's Divine Gift.
