I have counseled individuals through this very process of getting over the “religious let down” by a teacher or organization. One of the points I emphasize is only Allah is perfect and humans are mistake making machines. We can not fully invest our selves into anything created. In a way we must be our own saviors. To idealize and extend our salvation through another is a disservice to one’s self. Allah is Most Knowledgeable and our Islam must be about a path to God not to group agenda, cultural belonging or identity politics.
