The Difference Between Reliance on Allah and Certainty in Him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Suhayl from the Prophet’s city says: I hope Shaykh Salih will clarify for us the difference between reliance upon Allah and certainty in Allah, and what is the meaning of certainty in Allah?
Answer:
Certainty in Allah is the opposite of doubt. Certainty is the opposite of doubt. So one is certain of his Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He), believing in Him, with no doubt affecting him. If doubt affects him regarding faith, he is not a Muslim, unless this is from the category of waswas (whispers of Satan), in which case it does not harm him, but he must reject it and not speak of it. Yes.
