ABASA

(Distressful)

SUMMARY
#looking_at_oneself 

Overwhelmed by your affliction, you may find yourself turning away from the truth, succumbing to a blindness that obscured your vision and diverted you from the path of righteousness. What could lead someone to such a deviation? Ideally, the trials you faced should have sparked a mental evolution, a deepening of wisdom and insight forged from the crucible of his experiences. Awareness, and embodiment of the divine masculine attributes like having strong logic, focus, assertiveness, bracery to explore, can become a powerful catalyst for personal growth and transformation.

However, those who perceive themselves as self-sufficient, who bask in the glow of unearned success with joy and gratitude, are often the least likely to undergo this vital mental development. Their sense of self-satisfaction dulls the desire to seek deeper understanding or question the foundations of their beliefs. In contrast, those who actively seek knowledge, who harbor a deep-seated fear of losing their connection to the truth, will find themselves driven by an inner compulsion in the embodiment of the divine masculine attributes and pursue the truth with unwavering dedication.

Certainly, those who turn away from the truth, who allow themselves to be seduced by the comfort of ignorance, will not experience any meaningful mental development or growth. Their awareness, if not aligned with the pursuit of truth, remains barren and unproductive, offering no true benefit to their spiritual or intellectual progress.

On the other hand, those who have refined their reasoning abilities, ascend to a higher plane of understanding. They are equipped with the strength and guidance needed to make powerful, discerning judgments. Those who are acquainted with the truth work diligently to eliminate any rejected or erroneous notions, ensuring that these discarded beliefs no longer cloud their thought processes. The extent of their evolution is measured by the depth of knowledge they have acquired and integrated into their lives.

However, there are those who, even after an independent process of rationalization, choose to reject and turn away from the truth. These individuals, despite the opportunities for growth and enlightenment, deviate from the righteous path, guided by influences other than the divine guidance of Allah. In their rejection, they lose their way, straying further from the truth and the potential for true mental and spiritual development.

By the (divine and all comprehensive) name Allah (that carry an elevated hidden meaning to it's name), the Rahmaan, the Raheem.   (The Rahmaan is the abstract education system of Allah that provide the abundant knowledge of facts and the Raheem is the approval given to those who seek the education through Ar Rahman).
