Islam does not have a transcendent perspective. It's highest possible achievement is a callous, degrading sexuality, and it's current attainment is an attitude of domineering entitlement to superior status. It confers neither love nor creative inspiration. It cannot give. It can only take or destroy. It's rage does not make one righteous, only blind to it's absolute evil. It's "submission" is to slavery.
There is something far better. There is sonship. There is clarity of perspective when not aligned with the slave woman mentality. A son will see that a slave is expected to give up her resources to her master, regardless of what she believes. She tolerates her master's abuse because there is no other option save death. The master will give only as much reward as it takes to keep her from death, and if she costs him more than he is willing to pay, he will kill her, himself. Her end is death either way.
There are warning signs of that lord which seeks slaves rather than sons. He seeks sympathy for his acts of aggression. He requires loyalty regardless of results. Censure, and any other view but his own, enrages him, for he acts contrary to any compassion which he has laid claim to. He knows nothing of mercy, for all things must be done to his own advantage. Watch what he does, not what he says.
The One who wants a son gives everything of Himself to convince you. He shows you how it's done. Everything He has is already yours, you just haven't realized it yet. A son is the one who chooses to stand with his Father, regardless of the consequences, for that is what he has seen his Father do for him! Look and SEE what He has done!
