Dr. Ali Gomaa emphasized that true obedience in Islam means worshipping God as He commands, not according to personal desires or interpretations.

He explained that this fundamental principle is often misunderstood, even though it reflects the very reason behind Satan’s disobedience—he believed in God but refused to follow His command due to arrogance.

He pointed out that arrogance is a key element of human desire, which can eventually dominate a person’s actions and lead them away from the truth.

According to his explanation, people have fallen into two extremes: one group exaggerates religious practice by adding their own interpretations, while another neglects it entirely, following their desires under the claim of reason or logic.

He clarified that reason should serve as a tool for understanding and connecting divine teachings with reality, not for creating or altering religious rulings, which belong solely to God.

He also warned against blindly following the majority or those driven by desire, stressing that truth is not measured by numbers but by adherence to authentic teachings.

He concluded by affirming that true faith requires complete acceptance of divine guidance without distortion or selective application.
