‘Godly’
qualities
that
humans
should
strive
to
acquire
The
Quran
specifies
99
traits
of
the
Creator,
along
with
one
primary
trait
or
name,
Allah.
Allah
is
the
most
commonly
used
word
in
the
Quran
(2698
times)
and
in
Books
of
Hadith
(12257
times
in
4542
hadiths
cited
in
Book
of
Bokhari).
The
word
‘Allah’
is
known
to
be
the
creator’s
primary
trait
(Ismil
Adheem).
Quran
lists
99
other
traits
of
Allah.
These
are
unique
traits
and
only
apply
to
the
Creator.
They
are
each
whole
and
none
of
them
conflicts
with
the
other
trait
nor
are
they
redundant.
This
is
fundamentally
a
postulate
that
is
deduced
from
each
of
the
traits
but
is
encapsulated
in
the
trait
“Al-Ahad”
(The
One)
as
mentioned
in
Chapter
112
verse
1.
This
chapter
is
considered
to
carry
one
third
the
weight
of
the
entire
Quran.
Unless
this
aspect
is
understood,
further
cognition
cannot
proceed
without
invoking
dogma.
Islam
allows
no
dogmatic
cognition
and
the
Quran
calls
dogma
people
dhawalleen
(deviants
that
use
tangential
logic),
even
when
their
intention
is
good.
It
is
logical
that
these
traits
are
mentioned
in
order
to
set
guidelines
for
humans
that
are
entrusted
with
the
duty
of
viceroy
on
earth
(Quran
2:30).
Humans
are
all
created
with
these
qualities,
albeit
being
infinitesimally
small
compared
to
that
of
the
Creator.
Therefore,
it
is
important
to
understand
these
words
in
order
to
develop
qualities
that
would
allow
one
to
discharge
his
duties
as
a
viceroy.
Allah:
Even
though,
it
is
known
that
this
word
is
the
only
word
in
any
language
that
doesn’t
have
a
root.
Most
scholars
suggest
this
word
is
a
derivation
from
Al-‐Ilah.
Parents
get
the
taste
of
it
when
the
children
are
small.
No
matter
where
they
are
or
if
the
parents
are
visible,
they
cry
out
for
help
from
the
parents.
A
child
is
literally
obsessed
with
his/her
parents.
That’s
why
it
is
so
anti-‐conscience
to
treat
children
with
anything
other
than
love
at
that
early
age.
On
a
negative
side,
side
when
someone
is
obsessed
with
money,
addiction,
or
anything
other
than
the
natural
Ilah,
that
obsession
becomes
the
reason
for
malfunction
of
the
person.
These
phenomena
of
‘calling
out
in
need
or
fear’,
or
‘being
obsessed
with’
are
the
classic
definition
of
the
word
‘Ilah’.
Ar-Rahman:
The
root
word
is
rahm
that
means
womb.
Literally
Ar-‐Rahman
means
a
womb
that
is
continuous
in
space.
Scientifically
this
word
also
means
empathy.
However,
it’s
logical
to
use
the
meaning
‘womb’
because
empathy
is
an
adjective
of
womb.
Consider
the
principal
qualities
of
a
womb
in
relation
to
fetus.
They
are:
1. womb
is
external
to
the
fetus;
2. nourishment
is
one-‐way,
from
the
womb
to
the
fetus;
3. the
womb
is
independent
of
the
fetus
4. the
fetus
is
absolutely
dependent
on
the
womb.
The
womb
is
the
best
metaphor
for
depicting
the
relationship
between
Creator/sustainer
to
Created/sustained.
Logically
this
is
the
nature
of
relationship
between
the
Creator
and
the
creation.
While
only
females
have
a
womb,
every
human
being
is
created
with
empathy,
the
adjective
for
womb.
This
simple
statement
about
human
natural
trait
is
absent
from
modern-‐day
Europe
that
adopted
‘original
sin’
during
the
dominance
of
the
Roman
catholic
church
but
later
replaced
with
a
number
of
equally
spurious
and
conflicting
perceptions
such
‘clean
slate’,
‘defective
gene’,
and
others,
even
though
they
were
packaged
as
secular
or
‘scientific’
description
of
human
beings.
Ar-Raheem:
Literally,
this
word
means
a
womb
that
is
continuous
in
time.
All
features
of
Ar-‐Rahman
(see
above)
apply
to
this
trait
and
is
made
continuous
in
time.
