Asalaam alaikum warahmatulah wabarakatuh
There are
3 types of Yaqeen [Certainty]:
-
'Ilm al yaqeen - certainty based on
knowledge. I.e. Seeing smoke signifies a fire (even if we don't see a fire). Or wet grass is most likely due to rain.
-
'Ayn al yaqeen - certainty based on
seeing. I.e. Seeing the fire.
-
Haq al yaqeen - Certainty.
Feelingthe fire and it warms you or burns you =
haq al yaqeen.
Allah gives us the two Yaqeen's in this life (
ilm [knowledge] and
haq [certainty] al yaqeen).
The Qur'an is 'Ilm al Yaqeen [Certain Knowledge]:
This perfect Book which is
not similar to any human Book - is an
'ilm al yaqeen [knowledge of certainty]
.
Describing the Qur'an;
وَإِنَّهُ لَحَقُّ الْيَقِينِ
And indeed, it is the truth of certainty. [Surah al Haqqah 69:51]
The disbelievers did not want Ilm al yaqeen, they wanted
Ayn al yaqeen [Certainty of
Vision].
An animal can be convinced with
Ayn al Yaqeen [knowledge of Vision],
but
you were created of a higher level - you should be convinced by Ilm al yaqeen [Certainty of Knowledge] because of the high Intellect ('aql) Allah has given you.
