A confessional struggle between justice and mercy, confronting family wrongdoing, global injustice, and the demand to remain faithful to righteousness without justifying evil.
What will You have of me, Lord? To forgive my father who has committed fraud in his name and in our name? Will You allow me to be one with my father, who has taken an evil spirit as his friend?
Look at my father, Lord. He is lonely and destroyed because he refuses to accompany light and instead takes evil as his friend. He sits in depression and waits for a soul to come and give him or share love with him.
Why have You made my father pathetic, Lord? Does my father not see how pathetic he is? Has my father made it permanent that he is damaged goods and cannot be changed?
Have You made my father the innocent while forgetting the truly innocent people who are suffering and dying because sinners, evildoers, and criminals have made themselves look innocent, while true innocent people are being neglected?
Surely You know, Lord, that I know that children are suffering in this world and are neglected. Surely, Lord, You do not expect me to believe that my father’s innocence is real while neglected children who died in Gaza are less innocent than my father.
Surely, Lord, You do not expect me to accept, normalize, remain silent about, or befriend evil choices. Surely, Lord, You do not expect me to say: “Father, you have all the right to commit fraud in Denmark, because it is complicit in not recognizing Palestine as a state, and it is complicit in sending money and weapons to Israel to fight Hamas or innocent people.”
Surely, Lord, You will not hear me say that evil choices are justified because of paying taxes to a nation that does not recognize another nation, a group of people, their existence, or their culture as morally correct—when I say that there exist children in a morally corrupt nation such as Denmark, and these children are not complicit in what Denmark is complicit in.
Surely, Lord, now I have been taught that any fraud committed against Denmark is not justified by any means necessary.
Surely, Lord, have You not stated in the Qur’an, the Bible, the Torah, or elsewhere, that Your righteousness, Your light, Your goodness, and Your spirit of breath guide people to righteousness and encourage people to abandon unrighteous behavior? Surely I have seen and read Your words that do not guide creation into unrighteousness.
Will You now tell me, Lord, that unrighteous behaviors are justified? Surely You will not have me admit that, Lord, because I cannot admit or see You as double‑standard, Lord. Otherwise I would have to associate You with a divided character—and You, Lord, cannot be divided into two. You are still One, and Your words are steadfast in my existence, just as Your words are steadfast in Your books and teachings, with or without Your books.

Between Judgment and Forgiveness
Have I made it my duty? Have I made it my duty to stand for final judgment and the cleansing of the evil spirits of this world? Or have I forgotten to cleanse the evil spirit of my inner world?What will You have of me, Lord? To forgive my father who has committed fraud in his name and in our name? Will You allow me to be one with my father, who has taken an evil spirit as his friend?
Look at my father, Lord. He is lonely and destroyed because he refuses to accompany light and instead takes evil as his friend. He sits in depression and waits for a soul to come and give him or share love with him.
