The Influence of Parental Love on Our Perception of God

Why do some people accept Allah’s sovereignty intellectually, but not spiritually?  Why do they struggle to surrender to His decrees and commands? We believe that at the core of this spiritual struggle is a distortion in people’s perceptions of Allah. A distorted image of God fosters misunderstandings of the intent behind His commands and decrees, and subsequently rebellion.The aim of this paper is to unpack how divergent understandings of God develop and, in turn, impact our worship, surrender to Him, and religious doubts.Note: The audio files are generated using AI technology.
