1057. Causes of Doubt

3348.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : الشَّكُّ ثَمَرَةُ الجَهلِ .1

3348.Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Doubt is the product of ignorance.’2

3349.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : مَن عَتا عن أمرِ اللَّهِ شَكَّ ، ومَن شَكَّ تعالَى اللَّهُ علَيهِ فَأذَلَّهُ بسُلطانِهِ ، وصَغَّرَهُ بجَلالِهِ كما اغتَرَّ بِرَبِّهِ الكَريمِ وَفَرَّطَ في أمرِهِ .3

3349.Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Whoever is insolent with regards to Allah’s command becomes prone to doubting, and whoever doubts, Allah will overcome him, disgraces him with His authority, and belittles him with His Might just as he had shown contempt for His command.’4

3350.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : لا تَرتابُوا فَتَشُكُّوا ، ولا تَشُكُّوا فَتَكفرُوا ، ولا تُرَخِّصُوا لِأنفُسِكُم فَتُدهِنوا .5

3350.Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Do not give in to misgivings lest you start to doubt, and do not doubt lest you disbelieve, and do not allow yourselves to become emboldened [against Allah] lest you fall into self-deception.’6
