Christian iconography adopted the halo via paintings of Roman emperors with that symbol. In fact, there was virtually no Christian art to speak of until the 4th century AD, precisely because they didn't want to copy pagan practices. It was later decided acceptable.
The halo is also found in Buddhist art.

Didn't he when he loaned out the resurrection story?
Edit: BTW, I don't remember if Helios was the one from the older resurrection story anyway, so if not, discount my smug commentary and call me a jackass.

Jesus should not be painted. For all I know he was not a white man with blue eyes. Allah knows best ... We do not paint any of our prophet's !

No. To blaspheme is to... to curse defame, rail on, revile, speak evil of God
Mark 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
To put a halo on a picture of Jesus is to give reverance to Him showing that He is Holy.
But we in no way are to worship any statues, pictures etc that are images of anything from heaven.
Exodus 20:4-7 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
To take the Lord's name in vain is to commit blasphemy
