And belief showed with utter certainty that the only fruit at the top of the tree of life was not a corpse as had appeared to my neglectful eye, rather, that my spirit, which would manifest eternal life and was designated for eternal happiness, would leave its wom out home to travel around the stars.

And belief showed through the mystery of belief that my bones and the earth which was the source of my creation were not valueless pulverized bones trampled underfoot, rather, that the soil was the door to Divine Mercy and a veil before the hall of Paradise.

And belief showed through the mystery of the Qur’an that the world which had appeared to my heedless eye behind me as tumbling into nothingness and non-existence to consist of missives of the Eternally Besought One and pages of decorations and embroideries glorifying Allah which had completed their duties, stated their meanings, and left their results in existence in their place. It made known with complete certainty what the true nature of the world is.

And belief showed through the light of the Qur’an that the grave which would open its eyes and look at me in the future was not the door of a well, rather, that it was the door to the world of light, and that the highway which stretched to eternity beyond the grave led not to nothingness and non-existence, but to existence, a place of light, and eternal bliss. Since belief demonstrated this to a degree which afforded utter conviction, it was both a remedy and a salve for my afflictions.
