My point here is to show you that the literalist approach of some Muslims creates tons of contradictions.\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe50b76658b4c232859","tag":"Aqeedah: Allah ﷻ‎","count":66},{"_id":"668d9fe70b76658b4c2328a0","tag":"Quran: Tafseer","count":34},{"_id":"668d9fe70b76658b4c23289d","tag":"Aqeedah: Heaven and Hell","count":23}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:39:03.705Z"}
