Does the divine attribute of Al-Samadiyyah (The Absolute, The Eternally Besought), by which God is described, mean that He is without a heart or emotions, and that He is distant from the affairs of His servants, despite the trials and difficulties that humans experience in life?
One must repent from any incorrect perception of Allah, while being certain of His perfect justice, mercy, and power, and having a good opinion of Him; for He does what He wills, and His actions are based on profound wisdom and vast knowledge. Persistently supplicate with sincerity and certainty, without hastening or despairing, and practice patience, seeking forgiveness, and sincere repentance. Furthermore, identify sins and repent from them, and perform acts of worship, especially prayer. Indeed, trials are good for the patient believer, and "Allah knows and you do not know." The greatest trial in this world will be forgotten with the first dip into Paradise.
