The foundation of faith is feeling.
Not feeling leads to fitna and fisq.
What you feel determines your perception.
What you experience in your body determines your reality.
As you feel, you produce your world.
Time and again, God turns us to these subtle realities of consciousness.
“Do they not think”
“Do they not see”
“Do they not FEEL” (emphasis mine)

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَبِٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ وَمَا هُم بِمُؤْمِنِينَ
يُخَـٰدِعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَمَا يَخْدَعُونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ
And there are some who say, “We believe in Allah and the Last Day,” yet they are not ˹true˺ believers.
They seek to deceive Allah and the believers, yet they only deceive themselves, but they fail to feel/perceive.
[Quran, Al-Baqara: 8-9]

There is a connection between belief and feeling.
This is not a theological angle but a hikma/clinical angle. This perspective is important because it is practical in its observations of patterns and in its attempts to remedy human conditions. The intention is to return human souls back into alignment and harmony with True Belief and Reality, which is harmony with God’s Will as expressed through the the unchanging Fitra and the crystallised Wisdom of God as the Natural Order and Way of the World - His Sunnah.
We ask Allah for afiya and tawfiq; wholistic vitality and success.
