The Alchemy of Divine Love: How Our View of God Affects Our Faith and Happiness

This paper introduces the topic of “God image” and attachment. We explain what a God image is and how a healthy or distorted God image develops. We also explain God attachment styles and how our image of God influences how we relate to Him. Finally, we discuss the consequences of a distorted God image on religious and self-concept struggles. We present a theory of God image based on classical Islamic sources and modern psychology, and the results of our scientific study on the topic.Note: The audio files are generated using AI technology.
