Steemit Engagement Challenge S9-W5: "Seeing is believing" versus "Knowing is believing"

Seeing is Believing

The believer derives lessons and sermons from everything he sees, hears, and reads, and from all the facts and events that surround him, because by virtue of his religiosity, his heart is lively, his senses, and his interactions lively.

The lesson is more useful and the lesson is more solid when the vision merges with the experience , so the believer gets out of the seats of conscious observation to be part of the educational experience and comes out of it in a higher state of faith, closeness and comfort bondage.

And when Abraham said: "Oh my Lord, show me how you revive the dead."
He said: Don't you believe?
He said, "Yes, but to reassure my heart."
He said: Take four sparrows and tie them to you, then put a part of them on every mountain, then invite them, and they will come running to you, and know that God Almighty is Wise. (Surah Al-Baqara 260)

Abraham is certain of God's unlimited power and does not doubt the return of the dead to life as God Almighty wanted , but this return is a strange matter for someone who did not stand for it in a precedent , so his desire for the Most Merciful tempted him to request that the vision be linked to the news so that he could enjoy the calmness of the heart, but his Lord Almighty chose God He has a higher rank than the vision, which is the practical experience through which he stands on God's ability to revive. Even if he does not see how, because it is beyond his human capacity, and it is from God alone.

Each one has the ability to renew their faith by going through the battlefields of life in all its aspects and levels, getting close to the types of people, experiencing different circumstances, and looking with sight and insight into the places of good times and bad times , hardships, prosperity, illness , health, meanness and heights , in addition to what the universe and the soul contain of wonderful verses that inspire the believer and teach him useful lessons. And eloquent sermons.

When someone visits a hospital, the value of physical health is known only to those who are worn out by illness, and instead of deeming himself miserable, the believer looks at the condition of the sick in the hospital . Incurable diseases in particular - that he fills his heart with praise to God Almighty on the one hand, and with kindness and mercy for the afflicted on the other hand, then he humbles himself, adheres to his limits, and turns to his Lord Almighty. Glory be to Him, He is broken, asking for the continuity of wellness and the lightness of the wound, and how not to be counted in front of a patient who is unable to eat despite the availability of his delicacies or is unable to do so. Moves, sleeps, or calms down due to severe and persistent pain?

Knowing is Believing

When a person wakes up at the time of the dawn call to prayer , an internal conflict occurs between his faith in God, who dictates that he comply with his commands to perform the prayer, and his own desires and love for rest and sleep. Going to sleep was the final decision.

Some define faith as knowledge, the knowledge that God Almighty is the Lord of everything, and that He is the Creator, the Almighty, the Sustainer...

But we see people who acknowledge the Lordship of God , but they do not turn to Him in worship. If faith was merely knowledge, that knowledge would push them to turn in worship towards Him, fearing Him, fearing Him , and relying on Him.

The polytheists know that God is the Lord of everything, and they acknowledge this truth with their tongues, but despite that they do not worship Him.. Why?

Because this knowledge did not reach the heart so that it becomes faith , and the evidence for that is their failure to implement the requirements of this knowledge , so if it was a knowledge of faith that would push them to turn to God in worship , as for purely rational knowledge, it would not be a motive for behavior unless its meaning moved to the heart, and mixed with feelings , and I became a firm believer in it.

If so, what is faith?

Belief in something is belief in it, and belief is based on the heart. So how is the heart's belief in something?

The heart's ratification of something is its reassurance and trust in it, and its lack of suspicion or doubt in it. Not believing in something is its rejection, denial and doubt about it.

The first and most important stage of submitting to something is belief in it (or being reassured and trusting in it). The one who takes a certain medicine must have reassured it in his heart, and not be suspicious or suspicious of it.
