When someone knows me -asws as Noor, only then he would truly attained faith; he is the one whose heart has been tested with the true faith, whose chest is dilated in true Isl\u00e1m and whose faith is based on discernment. Thus, he becomes an \u2018 Arif\u2019 \u2013staunch believer and embraces faith with peace of mind.\u00a0 But that; He who fell short of this cognition – he will be a doubter, immersed in disbelief.
