🏵️🏵️ Bruen, your article raises valid points about the concept of God, but from an Islamic perspective, it's essential to acknowledge that God is not an abstract being but a personal, merciful, and just Lord who created the universe and everything in it. As the Quran states, "And your Lord is the Most Bountiful Who has taught (you writing by the pen) the pen, and has taught man that which he knew not." (Quran 96:3-5)
The Quranic description of God as "Ar-Rahman" (The Most Compassionate) and "Ar-Rahim" (The Most Merciful) highlights His attribute of mercy and kindness. In the Hadith, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Allah is as His Name Ar-Rahman, He is the Most Merciful of those who have mercy." (Bukhari)
As you explore the concept of God, it's crucial to examine the evidence from scripture and reason. The Quran and Hadith provide a comprehensive understanding of God's existence, attributes, and actions. In fact, the Quran says, "And We have certainly honored the children of Adam" (Quran 17:70), indicating God's special relationship with humanity.
Bruen, I encourage you to delve deeper into Islamic theology and explore the many aspects of God's mercy, justice, and wisdom.
