The examination of the word “‘izza” (honor) in the divine discourse and its attribution to God, the Prophet (s), and the believers is important in determining and directing the personal and social life policies.

In this paper I argue that J. L. Schellenberg’s Divine Hiddenness Argument is committed to a problematic implication that is weakened by research in cognitive psychology on affective forecasting.

Dante described hell as a very unhappy and inhospitable place that had differe...

According to the much-discussed argument from divine hiddenness, God’s existence is disconfirmed by the fact that not everyone believes in God. The argument has provoked an impressive range of theistic replies, but none has overcome – or, I suggest, could overcome – the challenge posed by the uneven distribution of theistic belief around the world, a phenomenon for which naturalistic explanatio...
