Verse forty-nine denounces the figurative garb of the secular, whereas this verse counsels the faithful to don the symbolic attire of the Truth, foster passionate love for the Truth and remain immersed in dhikr.…

I would no longer be challenged to achieve the best work everyday because I would preform the same work everyday. The same goes for my want of a loving family. I look forward to the opportunity to care for and provide for my family each day the absolute best that I can but doing the same tasks each day would quickly grow boring and unchallenging. My American Dream contains change for the same reason it contains a job and family: so each day can continue to be challenging and…

Man, however, also has spiritual concerns. According to Tillich, “faith is the state of being ultimately concerned” (Smith, 2003).
