1909. CERTAIN KNOWLEDGE

(كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْيَقِينِ * لَتَرَوُنَّ الْجَحِيمَ * ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّها عَيْنَ الْيَقِينِ * ثُمَّ لَتُسْأَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ) .¹

"No indeed! Were you to know with certain knowledge, you would surely see hell. Again, you will surely see it with the eye of certainty. Then, that day, you will surely be questioned concerning the blessing." ²

(وَكَذَلِكَ نُرِي إِبْراهِيمَ مَلَكُوتَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَلِيَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُوقِنِينَ) .³

"Thus did We show Abraham the dominions of the heavens and the earth, that he might be of those who possess certitude." ⁴

6832.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله: إنّ اللَّهَ تعالى‏ يَقولُ : ثَلاثُ خِصالٍ غَيَّبتُهُنَّ عَن عِبادِي لَو رآهُنَّ رجُلٌ ما عَمِلَ سُوءاً أبَداً : لَو كَشَفتُ غِطائي فَرَآني حتّى‏ يَستَيقِنَ ، ويَعلَمَ كَيفَ أفعَلُ بخَلقي إذا أمَتُّهُم... .⁵

6832.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Allah Almighty says, 'There are three things that I have concealed from My servants such that if a person was to see them, they would never do bad: if I was to uncover My veil and they were to see Me such that they had conviction, and if they were to know what I do with My creation when I make them die...' ⁶
