The Three Degrees of Certainty

After my last post, I wondered if I was wrong about there being different degrees of certainty. So I did a quick search and came up with the following.

The Three Degrees of Certainty
  • Certainty coming from knowledge: Having a strong, firm belief in or conviction of all the essentials of faith, primarily God’s Existence and Unity, acquired through correct observation and study of the relevant signs and evidence.
  • Certainty coming from direct observation or seeing: Having an indescribable degree of certainty and knowledge of God acquired through unveiling and observing the immaterial truths invisible to ordinary believers and on which the essentials of belief are based.
  • Certainty coming from direct experience: Being favored with God’s constant company, without any veils and in a way that only the one receiving this favor can perceive. Some have interpreted it as self-annihilation in God and gaining subsistence by Him.

My Beautiful Island














































These photographs are of Tasmania, the island where I grew up. Much of the states beautiful wilderness is under threat of being logged . How beautiful is Allah's creation and yet we want to destroy it.
