In understanding what the essence and heart of morality is, lies a proof of God. And understanding that requires you to investigate what love truly is and what it truly knows and whether it's the truth of how things are created, defined, valued, and known.
And it's the leader and guide, and this is what the bible means when people took the name of God and call themselves by it, it means they took the position of Aaronic priesthood and Kingship of Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and Moses was sent with clear authority so that people disbelieve in the false authority of Pharaoh, and Saul was that which is asked for by the people and by Moses words, when he prayed that his knot of on his tongue may be relieved. And Aaron was to be prayed to do that, because hope even in the darkest surroundings is the only way to act, and God got rightfully upset with Moses praying for the one he would send to relieve his knot, because Aaron would succeed him, and to despair in his lifetime is understandable, but not with regards to his successor.
And it's sad that Moses and Mohammad had knots on their tongues and their hearts were constrained due to what people would say and the propaganda of ignorance, while, they were not niggardly regarding the knowledge of the unseen they knew and wish to spread.
And the heart of what morality is the hardest to define, it makes Messengers look egoistic, and people misinterpreted Jesus' words and made into an equal to the Creator and Source of the universe.
And part of the wisdom of mentioning "the Compassionate, the Merciful" is to say, the name of God is the utmost mercy, and had it been possible for God to beget an equal, there would not be but sons of God as his equals, such is the compassion and love of God.
But there is a vast difference between the eternal and originated, the one who lacks no life, and the one who hardly possesses life compared to the Source. We are nothing compared to God, even those who we exalt and should not exalt others to that level of leadership and guiding position in morality and religion, are nothing compared to God.
Even the best of those who race ahead from the emigrants to God and helpers of God, they are nothing compared to the source.
Love knows no bounds and it is arrow and sword aimed at the highest sky, which is absolute love, sheer greatness, and ultimate wisdom, and perfect beauty and only it can judge accurately, because is by the definition the truest form of judgment and best of judges.
Comment: So gratitude to the message is gratitude of God awakening us to a kin that would inherit the leadership of Mohammad and make people understand his words, which are an explanation of Quran, and all that lies guidance, and the heart of morality is to love guidance and guidance for the sake of guidance makes no sense, hence we must love who we are being guided to but as we have no vision of the absolute but vision he grants us, he says love that family of the reminder to me, who I have made as means to me, for the wage is asked only for who wants, to take a path to his Lord (25:57) and in that appreciation God will forgive us and increase us in good (42:23) and it's the essence of what goodness is (42:23).
Have you ever seen the famous panting called "The Scream"?
That is what sane people think of bad logic.
That is the point: fuck your mind into belief. And if you don't comply, trolling and internet spamming begins.
In extreme cases; and in real life, you might get blown to pieces or get a governmental death sentence for "apostasy".
