The root of the word Iman is a-m-n which means: to be calm and quiet (in one’s heart); to be protected from fear; trustworthiness and truthfulness. Iman means to accept truthfully, to be convinced, to verify something, to rely upon or have confidence in something. Iman is usually translated in English as faith or belief, and faith in turn

I had never before known that reason, knowledge, and faith did not have to be mutually exclusive. They were a contradiction before Islam. For me, intellectual satisfaction is key.

Who knew it was possible?

To have true iman is the best feeling I have ever known. I wish it to be a part of you one day soon, too.
