Answer:

Downward comparison.

Explanation:

The Theory of Social Comparison, enunciated by Festinger in 1954, explains how we compare our capacities and opinions with those people we perceive to be most similar to us, who identify our values, and with those closest to us in our social circles, by proximity. People might prefer different types or direction of comparison depending on their motivation.Downward comparison is when the person looks at people they consider to be in a worse state in some important aspect, they look at "others" who perceive different, generating positive relief results in the event that the "other" is perceived in a worse situation (descending).

To describe God as 'omnipotent' is the best way to understand God. Evaluate this statement. In your answer you should: Refer to
melomori [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

In the Islam world, it is correct to say "to describe God as 'omnipotent' is the best way to understand God." This is one of the most powerful Muslim teachings.

For Islam, God is the most powerful force in the Universe. In the Muslim concept of God, he also has all the perfect characteristics of a supreme being. He can be considered the king of kings, judge of judges, the beginning and the end, all things expressed in one, and many more powerful concepts.

For Muslim people, God has the power to exert control and dominion over all its creatures, including humans. That is why under Islam, humans are the subjects, faithful followers of his teachings.

This Islam point of view is so respectable and honored, like all other points of view of other major religions as is the case of Judaism, Christianism, Hinduism, or Catholicism.

These other major religions have similar concepts about the power and the presence of God, however, with different names and representations.

In the end, God as a deity has many similarities between religions.

The big question here would be. If that is the case, then why is it that nations make war for religious reasons?
