🌄🔹🔸What is Faith? 🔸🔹🌄
💠Allamah Muhammad Taqi Ja'fari states:
▪️"The best way to define faith is: the confirmation of an active conscience. Some scholars have regarded faith as merely confirmation - so do some Hadith - where it means expressing the distinct, understandable base of the public. Thus, we can conclude that the main idea here is the confirmation of an active conscience, for confirmation alone cannot make any effect in the mind; there is great difference between confirming something and making effect based upon it. Most conscious and aware people admit the necessity of justice for the individual and social human life, but few men have actually executed justice. Man will definitely be just if he considers justice as part of his own life.
▪️It is sometimes asked whether man can live without faith or not. In response, we must first see what life means here. If it means endeavour toward satisfying natural, animalistic desires (only), then faith is not only unnecessary but rather even disturbing. Those who claim that man has no need for faith are in fact referring to animal life.
▪️But if life means paying attention to all human potentials and talents, man cannot definitely do without faith. If man has faith, all his thoughts and deeds will be in accordance with the law (to which he has an active conscience acceptance: faith in). Such a man will do things out of eagerness and enthusiasm, not reluctance that will later make him feel guilty (or regretful)".
