The Shaykh : They say:
"This, and certainty has not been attained for us from it, so it is isolated from certainty
Certainty is decisive rational proofs, and its measure is"
This certainty, certainty is decisive rational proofs, decisive rational proofs. Be alert to the person next to you; do not let him lie down on you, you will see his head tilting toward you. You, yes, here?
The student: I am awake.
The Shaykh : Awake? And you are swaying behind you? Fine.
"Certainty is decisive rational proofs, and its measure is the logic of the Greeks"
This measure, according to them, is the logic of the Greeks, which is the science of logic. The Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) says in his book *The Refutation of the Logicians*: "I always thought that Greek logic is of no benefit to the dull-witted, and the intelligent do not need it". So there is no benefit in it; the intelligent person is self-sufficient with his intelligence and does not need it, and the dull-witted person, even if he repeats it day and night, will not benefit from it. So it is a waste of time.
