Matters That Lead Belief to the Stage of Certainty and Conviction

Shaykh Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What are the matters that lead belief to the stage of certainty and conviction? The Book and the Sunnah.

Answer:
The Book and the Sunnah are sufficient for establishing belief in the heart, and for reflecting on the creation of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), reflecting on
the realm of the heavens and the earthفِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ
[Al-A'raf 7:185]
, why did they not reflect
look into the realm of the heavens and the earth and everything that Allah has createdيَنظُرُوا فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِن شَيْءٍ
[Al-A'raf 7:185]
on the dominion of Allah, on the creation of Allah, and on everything in which there is a sign? How wonderful it is that the Divine is disobeyed, or how can the denier deny Him? And in everything there is a sign indicating that He is not heedless. So reflecting on the universe and reflecting on the creations, pondering this, also indicates certainty and faith in Allah, and that this creation was not created in vain
Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire.رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقْتَ هَٰذَا بَاطِلًا سُبْحَانَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
[Ali 'Imran 3:191]
.
Pondering the cosmic signs and pondering the Qur'anic signs, this attaches faith and belief to the heart.
