Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Ibn al-Qayyim’s words actually require us to pause for a moment. You know that there is faith, belief, and knowledge, and you also know that knowledge and disbelief can coexist.
Khalid al-Anbari: Yes.
The Shaykh : But can disbelief and faith coexist at the same time? By faith, I mean the fundamental concept that the hadiths discuss regarding the people of the Fire, who are punished according to their deservement due to their practical distance from Islam. When intercession comes, it will bring out anyone who had the weight of a mustard seed of faith in his heart. Does that weight of faith coexist with disbelief?
