Man who clings to ignorance and lies fears his inevitable demise by his attachment to the unreal.
And man who prayerfully supplicates himself before God, that all lies may be cleaned from him is remade by that hand.
In this way, the paranoid and the patient are both justified.
Where God is One, God is real.
Where God is not One, there God is an imperfect approximation of truth.
The description of God as three is phenomenologically intelligible downstream of the Oneness of God, but not ontologically accurate.
Beyond all concepts, there is only unity.
The one who fears the truth is the one who has failed to confess the truth known by God, and he is lost without disclosure of the Truth to the All-Knowing.
@_justsomeone01@islamandlife If you hide any part of your impatience from God you only trust him partially, and if you give all your impatience to God he is ever compassionate in response.
"O believers! Seek comfort in patience and prayer. Allah is truly with those who are patient." [Al-Baqarah 2:153]
The idea of Satan ruling in Hell while God rules in heaven implies a false dualism.
In fact, God has permitted and sustained Satan's rebellion, and his entirely merciful nature has always been waiting for Satan to see the error of rebellion.
We all rebel to our own detriment.

@redeemed_zoomer God is perfectly omniscient over math and logic, religious philosophy and comparative theology as academic pursuits utilized to approximate God using language and reason are forced to rely on the Principle of Parsimony to prevent Grue-adjacent complexity spiraling.
If the ego is the mere privation of God remembrance, its ontological weight is - by its nature - wholly dependent upon passive heedlessness and the momentum of habitual forgetfulness.
@sneako "You surely cannot guide whoever you like ˹O Prophet˺, but it is Allah Who guides whoever He wills, and He knows best who are ˹fit to be˺ guided."
"˹They are˺ those who remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth ˹and pray˺, “Our Lord! You have not created ˹all of˺ this without purpose. Glory be to You! Protect us from the torment of the Fire."
The national equivalent of Bezos's "Day 1" and "Day 2" mindset is a nation attempting to serve God contrasted against a nation bound by service to procedural norms.
Intervention upon the cultural or political character of a nation can only be generative beneath Absolute Truth.
