...It came with his magniloquent caveat that although "God is dead and remains dead, and we have killed him, his shadow looms large."

One god vs many [Published Economic Times - May 15 2013]

...why do ye not,- If you are exempt from (future) account,- Call back the soul, if ye are true (in the claim of independence)? (Quran Ta-Ha: 14-16) "Verily, I am Allah: There is no god but I: So serve thou Me (only), and establish regular prayer for celebrating My praise. Verily the Hour is coming - My design is to keep it hidden - for every soul to receive its reward by the measure of its Endeavour. "Therefore let not such as believe not therein but follow their own lusts, divert thee therefrom, lest thou perish!" Wazwaz: In previous blogs, I started the discussion on faith and guidance by following the journey of Prophet Abraham, upon him be peace. It can be read here. He, upon him be peace, came to the junction point that he did not know. Before he was guided, he was made to understand himself and his limited capabilities. He used his mind, but God exposes his internal reality behind those questions: to satisfy the murmur in my heart. There was an embedded question in the depths of his heart. He was searching for truth, for conviction, for certainty within the deep depths of his heart, not the deep depths of the world out there to prove someone is lying, to prove something he does not want to investigate is false. In summary, he was using his mind, and not letting his mind use him to conjecture theories about a world beyond him guessing at the unknown. Faith values reason and asks us to use our intelligence, aql. The aql, or intelligence, is a gift from God. However, faith asks people to be truth seekers, as what you seek and strive for internally influences what you receive and perceive in the world. We must value science, but it is a means to discovering the world around us and not an end within itself. It must also reconcile and be in harmony with the embedded knowledge of the heart. Each time a layer of darkness is removed from the heart, the knowledge embedded within is revealed to the eyes."
