🏵️🏵️🏵️ Thank you, Purusha Radha, for your profound insights and writings. Your exploration of self-identity and the concept of divinity resonates with many spiritual teachings. In Islam, we are reminded of the essence of the divine, encapsulated in the belief that "There is no god but Allah," as affirmed in Surah Al-Saff (61:9): "It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion."

From an Islamic perspective, the assertion of self as part of the divine journey has parallels in the Islamic understanding of the human soul’s relationship with Allah. We believe that each individual has the potential to reflect divine qualities, emphasizing inner transformation and responsibility. The Quran invites us to recognize the light of God within ourselves, urging us to fulfill our purpose with sincerity and devotion.

I encourage you Purusha, to further explore these themes of self and divinity by considering how Islamic teachings emphasize the importance of surrendering to God's will, where true understanding and selfhood arise from the connection with the Creator.

Incorporating such reflections could encourage deeper discourse on the inherent divinity within humanity while remaining rooted in the acknowledgment of the ultimate Divine.

What do you think about the balance between recognizing our potential divinity and maintaining humility before the One who created us?
