The decision regarding the one who is uncertain and carries out actions without understanding and insight lies with Allah, exalted be His remembrance. He may look lightly on him and accept his actions. On the other hand He may throw his actions back to him (and not accept them).

For Allah had made it a condition for him to fulfil his obligations with understanding, insight and certainty so that he could avoid being amongst those whom Allah, Blessed and most High, has described (in the quran) : \u201cAmongst men is one who serves Allah on the edge(irresolutely) If good befalls him, he remains content, (however) if calamity befalls him, he turns on his face (away from Allah), he looses both this world and the next, that indeed is the greatest loss(al Hajj:11) \n This is because he entered it (his faith) without knowledge or certainty, and for this reason his exit from it was also without knowledge and certainty.

The Sagacious (Infallible Imam) on him be peace, has indeed said:\u201d One who enters faith with understanding, will remain steadfast in it and his faith will benefit him., (however) one who enters faith without understanding, will leave it as he entered it\u201d \n He also said : One who takes his religion(Deen) from the book of Allah and the sunnah of his prophet, Allahs\u2019 blessings be on his family, the mountains will vanish before his faith does, whereas the one who takes his Deen from the mouths of men, will be turned away (from his faith) by men.

\n He(the infallible Imam), peace be on him, (also) said : the one who does not recognise that our affairs are from (governed by) the Quran, will never be able to avoid trials and tribulations (of his faith). This is the reason why the tides of corrupt ideas (adyaan) and abhorrent schools of thought (madhab mustashna) have engulfed the people of our age (Ghaiba Sugrah:Minor occultation). These ( false ideas) completely satisfy the definitions of kufr (disbelief) and shirk.

This state of affairs is by the disposing of Allah and his forsaking (of them). Whomsoever Allah wills to prosper, and his faith is firm and deep rooted, he facilitates for him means that will lead him to take his belief from the book of Allah and the sunnah of His prophet, blessings be upon him and his family, with understanding, certainty and insight. Such a person is more rooted in his faith than the firmly planted mountains.
