BASIC QURANIC CONCEPT OF EMAAN ON ALLAH

BASIC QURANIC CONCEPT OF EMAAN ON ALLAH

Emaan: seeking knowledge, being at Aman, upholders of Meesaq, Using one’s faculties esp. intellect and reasoning to be at utter & deep conviction, state of being at Aman

Emaan on Allah: As humans, it’s not possible for us to comprehend and understand Allah. Then, how can we have Emaan on Allah when Allah is beyond our comprehension and understanding?

Emaan on Allah can ONLY be achieved through Emaan on Allah’s Ayaat- the Allah’s Kalam and Allah’s creations.

1. Kalam of Allah- the Kitaab &
2. Creations of Allah- the science

What is an Ayat? means sign or evidence that gives us an indication of the presence of a confirmed truth hidden behind that sign. Few Examples

• If we see in a distance smoke coming from behind a building. Although we cannot see the confirmed truth, which is the burning of fire at the bottom of that smoke, but by looking at that smoke or smelling it, we realize the existence of the confirmed truth- burning of fire- Therefore Smoke is an Ayat of the Fire
• Daylight is the Ayat of the sun
• Symptoms are Ayaat of the underlying medical condition or illness

[10:101] Say, “Observe what is in the skies and the earth.” But of no avail will be Ayaat and the warners to people who do not Yominuun (not Aamanu)

Ayat also means to pause, to stop, to think and to reflect- In fact the definition of Ayat only gets completed ONLY when we think, reflect, ponder and utilize our faculties, the five senses and our intellect given by Allah.

Emaan on Allah: Thus, Emaan ON Allah- seeking knowledge, being at Aman, upholders of Meesaq, Using one’s faculties esp. intellect and reasoning to be at utter & deep conviction, state of being at Aman, with Allah is ONLY done via Allah’s Ayaat, by seeking knowledge of these Ayaat, by using one’s faculties, esp intellect and reasoning to be at Aman with Allah. As humans, it’s not possible for us to comprehend and understand Allah. When we know that “Emaan is a conviction that results from full mental acceptance and intellectual satisfaction which gives us a feeling of inner peace, contentment and satisfaction of heart and mind- the state of being at Aman”. Then, how can we have Emaan on Allah when Allah is beyond our comprehension and understanding? The guidance that we receive from Quran is that, Emaan on Allah can ONLY be achieved through Emaan on Allah’s Ayaat- the Alllah’s Kalam and Allah’s creations.
