We claim to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet (A) but do not practice it. Our subtle denial is exhibited through our actions. Although we proclaim that Allah is One yet we worship our ambitions and lusts and put them equal to Allah. This is scientific era and people are free from stronghold of superstitions. The inquisitive scientific mind raises questions. The modern man wants to see the facts with naked eye. Any thing that conforms to observation is easy to believe in.

The scientists substantiate their claims by demonstrating facts in laboratories. It is believed that hydrogen and oxygen form water because it is proved in laboratories. For the materialists and empiricists, every spiritual thing is vague or non-existent. The human intellect is accustomed to proof. The scientific way of judgment, evaluation and believing things has become the way of life. We daily observe that if rules of business conduct are followed, business prospers.

Otherwise it declines and ends up in loss. In a like manner, when every matter is subjected to practical tests and proved, it becomes believable. If a faith does not prove its credibility, it is not truly believed in. In this way, faith remains vacillating and unsettled. The Reassured Belief We are obliged to think whether or not the Qur'an approves of the prevailing scientific method and that the consistency of faith depends upon experiments and observations.

Does the Qur'an allow to subject our faith to the analytical experimentation. Hadrat Ibrahim (D) implored Allah in the following words: My Lord, show me how You revive the dead. (Qur'an (al-Baqarah) 2:260.) Hadrat Ibrahim (D) intended to subject his belief to observation and experiment so that his faith might become undeniable. There might not be any doubt in believing that Allah can resurrect the humans and the animals. Allah, however, provided complete experimentation of resurrection.

Besides this, Allah also showed His matchless and unequaled powers and kingdom of the earth and heavens so as to strengthen his faith to the strongest footings beyond any doubts, obscurity or uncertainty. Allah says: Therefore, We showed Ibrahim sovereignty over Heavens and Earth so he might feel reassured. (Qur'an (al-An‘am) 6:75.) Hadrat Ibrahim (D) was shown the kingdom of heavens and the earth to ascertain his faith to the superlative degree.

The firmest faith provides the utmost delight and bliss. Allah has said: It is incumbent upon Us to help the believers.
