You know, even though I am himself one of the greatest theologians in Islamic history, he said, I used to bring doubts to my teacher. And he gave me a word of advice that benefited me so much. I've never been benefited by anything regarding doubts like this advice. And when I brought to my teacher of nit Samia these doubts one after another, what about this argument? What about that claim?
