Welcome to the jungle. So as to ensure your safety from the apparent and hidden dangers, I am assigned to be your guide. You will come to know you can do very little without me. So trust me and do not question me. Listen to me. You do, and I will not only show you the safest place to walk, I will lead you to the path with the most beautiful views, a path where the beauty increases with each step you take.
Along our way you will encounter the host of this treacherous jungle. Beware for he is cunning and has set out to lead you off this path of mine by setting up rival paths which are in reality nothing more than the vines that make up this jungle. Yet he will try to present to you a better path than mine with better views. You will initially decline for there is honor in following me. Yet he is smart and will use this against you. He will silently accompany us on our journey, walking behind you whispering softly in your ears. He will begin to make you believe you are more than you actually are. His vision of you will become appealing and if it does, you will claim that you are now my guide. You will deviate from my path in order to get a better look at your glorified self. You will drag me down this path of yours and here you will abuse me by forcing me to watch this horrid sight. My disgust will both insult and frustrate you and so, you will ignore me, inventing another me, an imaginary me who will willingly bend and twist to which ever path you take. It is here where you and I will become strangers, yet you will fool yourself into believing we are of the most intimate of friends.
I go by the name of reason and I am that with which Allah speaks to you by.
