According to the languages, it is the infinitive of the verb \u201c\u00e2mene\u201d, which means \u201cemn-\u00fc eman = security, trust\u201d, which is the opposite of fear. The original word \u201cemn\u201d was also \u201cem\u00e2n\u201d. When \u201calif\u201d came in front of it, it became \u201ce&#039;mene\u201d; then \u201cim\u00e2n\u201d was read according to the Arabic grammar rule. If the \u201chemze\u201d at the beginning of the word is \u201ctransitive\u201d for \u201cta&#039;diye\u201d according to the Arabic language, it means \u201cto give eman, to make sure\u201d; \u201cM\u00fcmin\u201d, which is one of the \u201cesm\u00e2\u00fcllah = names of Allah\u201d, was taken from this meaning. If it is used for sayr\u00fbret (to be), iman means \u201cbeing sure, to make the heart secure and calm\u201d. This is called \u201cinanma\u201d in our language.<\/p>\n<p>According to the custom of all linguists, the reality of faith is \u201cabsolute confirmation\u201d. That is, to believe in a person, a piece of news or a ruling definitely and wholeheartedly, to confirm it and to accept its word as true. The one who confirms has made the person he confirms safe from being denied or he himself has become safe and secure from lies. The word faith is either directly, as in \u201c\u00e2menehu\u201d, or with (be) or (l\u00e2m), as in \u201c\u00e2mene bihi\u201d and \u201c\u00e2mene lehu\u201d. If it is with (be), it means \u201cIkrar and confession\u201d; If it is with (lam), it means \u201cto understand and accept\u201d (R\u00e2g\u0131b el-isfahan\u00ee: El-Mutred\u00e2d; As\u0131m Efendi, Kam\u00fcs\u00fc&#039;l-M\u00fchit translation, Istanbul 1272 H., III, 593-594; \u0130bn-i Manzur, Lis\u00e2n\u00fc&#039;l-Arab, Bulak M\u0131s\u0131r 1303, XVII 160-163)<\/p>\n<p>According to this principle, faith in the dictionary consists of &quot;confirmation&quot;, which is the equivalent of &quot;imagination&quot; in the science of logic, and there are two elements in its concept: One is the &quot;knowledge = marifet&quot; element; the other is the &quot;will and option (kesb)&quot; element. Because, without first knowing what, why and how to believe, it is not possible to believe in something and confirm it. In this respect, the role of the &quot;marifet&quot; element is clear; the relationship of faith with reason, thought, thought and vision is obvious. The will and option element is a condition for a known thing to be confirmed and become faith, in other words, for its &quot;insight and acceptance&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>In other words; the known matter and the subject of belief should be adopted sincerely with a sincere heart, away from pressure and fear, and should be accepted and confessed with complete submission. So, in faith, a willful confirmation based on knowledge, acquisition and choice is necessary. The reason why Satan, who knows everything very well, is considered an unbeliever is because this second element is absent. Therefore, there can be no faith only with \u201cknowledge\u201d. Because what occurs in the heart without acquisition and choice is not confirmation, but knowledge. Because in order for knowledge to be considered at the level of \u201cconfirmation,\u201d which is essential in faith, heartfelt consent and submission based on will and choice are required. However, since it is not a condition for the understanding sought in confirmation to express absolute certainty, called \u201cit\u00e2d-\u0131 jazim\u201d; The confirmation of the common Muslims, called \u201czann-\u0131 g\u00e2lib\u201d, that is, the \u201cfaith of the imitator\u201d, is considered sufficient and acceptable according to the Ahl as-Sunnah.<\/p>\n<p>Such confirmations are called \u201cim\u0101n-\u0131 hukm\u012b\u201d. A strong belief based on rational and traditional evidence is called \u201cverified belief\u201d. Since it is obligatory to resort to this path (evidence and deduction) as much as one can, a believer who abandons it becomes a sinner (Ali Arslan Ayd\u0131n, Islamic Beliefs (ilm-i Kal\u0101m), Istanbul 1984, I, 148-150).
