45ـ يُسْتَدَلُّ عَلَى اليَقيـنِ...

45ـ يُسْتَدَلُّ عَلَى اليَقيـنِ:بِقَصْرِ الأمَلِ، وإخْلاصِ العَمَلِ،وَ الزُّهْدِ فِي الدُّنْيا. Certitude is corrupted by doubt and the onslaught of vain desire. 46ـ يُفْسِدُ اليَقينَ الشَّكُّ، وَغَلَبَةُ الهَوى. The weapon of the possessor of certitude is patience in [times of] hardship and thankfulness in well-being. 47ـ سِلاحُ المُوقِنِ:اَلصَّبْرُ عَلَى البَلاءِ، والشُّكْرُ فِي الرَّخاءِ. Have certitude and you will become strong. 48ـ كُنْ مُوْقِناً تَكُنْ قَويّاً.

Whoever possesses certitude does good [deeds]. 49ـ مَنْ أيْقَنَ أحْسَنَ. Those who possess certitude, the dedicated [and sincere] ones and the altruistic ones are from the people of the Elevations.[^1] 50ـ اَلْمُوقِنُونَ، والْمُخْلِصُونَ، والمُؤْثِرُونَ مِنْ رِجالِ الأعْرافِ. The possessor of certitude is the most sorrowful of all people about [the condition of] his soul. 51ـ اَلمُوقِنُ أشَدُّ النّاسِ حُزْناً عَلى نَفْسِهِ.

Where are the possessors of certitude who have cast off the attires of vain desire and cut themselves off from the ties of this world? 52ـ أيْنَ المُوقِنُونَ، الَّذيْنَ خَلَعُوا سَرابيلَ الهَوى، وقَطَعُوا عَنْهُمْ عَلائِقَ الدُّنْيا. [^1]: The People of the Elevations are those referred to in Q7:46.…
