How Do You Attain Certainty (Yaqīn)
Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah (رحمه الله) said:
وأما
كيف يحصل اليقين فبثلاثة أشياء : أحدها : تدبر القرآن .والثاني : تدبر الآيات التي
يحدثها الله في الأنفس والآيات التي تبين أنه حق .الثالث : العمل بموجب العلم.
“As for how certainty
is acquired, then it is through three things: The first of them is
contemplation over the Qurʾān. The second is contemplation over the signs Allāh
places in the souls and the signs that make clear that it (the Qurʾān) is the truth. The third is
acting upon the requirement of knowledge.”
