    God is a giver of faith and its source, or faith would be a work. Faith is anchored with him and nurtured through relationship with him. When I faced the two criminals I talked about in the video I was overwhelmed by faith but also by a sense of the presence of an allmighty God who suddenly dwarfed the workings of this world. That was a manifestation of the gift of faith and my personal faith outside of that is much weaker but the source is still the same.

    God is a spiritual source of peace and harmony and is the universal force that is everywhere and in everything and provides for all.

    "universal force".. can you explain that a bit more?

    it sounds like you're saying there is no "He" as an individual, personal being.

    That's true but there is still only one source. I've seen many Muslims connect to that source during the last 20 years.
