Episode notes
Submission and God Image
- Submission, or tasliyim, is tied to our image of God and recognition of His sovereignty.
- True submission involves accepting God's commands and decrees.
Cosmic Cop God Image
- A "Cosmic Cop" God image portrays God as distant, rule-focused, and more concerned with punishment than compassion.
- This image can lead to fear, resentment, and viewing religion as a list of restrictions.
True Worship
- Worship is the fusion of love and humble submission to Allah, not just ritual obedience.
- A loving relationship with God stems from understanding and appreciating His perfection.
