You know, there's a difference between sin and heresy. Heresy in the English language like, ooh, like, we have an allergy to this word because of the Christian tradition of inquisitions and the arbitrariness with which they kind of decide their orthodoxy. But it's a very accurate and neutral term for just something that is an incorrect belief, right. And so it's a useful term and one that you know, we should use and, and utilize it. It's a heresy has to do with an incorrect belief, whereas a sin is something that you generally speaking, it's something that you do wrong, right. It's an incorrect action.

And that's why it's very dangerous, and that's why some types of heresy are mere sin and some types of heresy are scary enough that maybe maybe your Islam as a question is not not for me to decide. But, um, but it's something to be on your radar, right? Because once you're in the arena of Well, I don't think Islam should say that. Who's your God? Really, if Islam literally means submission to Allah? Who are you submitting to by saying that Islam shouldn't say this? Or Allah shouldn't have said that, or a lot couldn't have meant that in
certain situations. That means that the God you're submitting to is you
