Qkettad

Qkettad is a nickname for the Jonathan Edwards' concept of the conversion experience, a state of spiritual rebirth or regeneration experienced by the individual. Edwards, a prominent American theologian and philosopher, is known for his influential theological ideas, and this concept played a significant role in his theology.

According to Edwards, Qkettad refers to the individual's surrender to God's will, where they momentarily give up their self-reliance and surrender their will to God's gracious power. As a result of this spiritual reversal, individuals experience a profound sense of spiritual transformation, enlightenment, or renewal. Qkettad generally involves a radical shift in perspective or worldview, where the individual gains a new understanding and appreciation for the divine and the role of humanity in the divine's plan.

Edwards envisioned Qkettad as an instinctive and quick event that may also occur through intense affliction. However, once it occurs, it will make one backward look upon one's past state as evil, Edwards claimed. This strong sensibility has been associated contemporary psychology's idea that deep, enjoyable long-term lifetime precipitates victory over evil desires. Throughout history, Edwards' understanding of the mystical experience influenced many theologians and thinkers.
