...Anyway, that's the idea behind why we ask forgiveness from God, so that's what I was going for when I mentioned feeling remorse on the OP.
I suppose if I really believed my wrong doing had hurt god I would be sorry to him.
You need to understand the oneness of existence.
Everything is God and God is everything but nothing in particular.
If you love the Prophet, you have loved both God and all goodness in creation, and every living part of creation, because of the tree of life model which is the reality, we are connected by fabrics of "value" "giving measurement due" "love", which is really how things are created, just as the uncleanness all emerges from the spirit of Satan, the good in creation all emerge from the chosen ones and chosen guides.
And if you love the Prophet, you love primarily because he is the way to God, and because the way to God is being a mercy creation.
When you see the throne of God and the noble true kingdom and light, you will see that any disregard towards any right, was rebellion to God, and God cares about people more than they care about themselves, that is why Quran emphasizes when we oppress ourselves and do injustice towards our own soul, we remember God and ask forgiveness from him.
