Real faith is having complete trust in God.
It is the belief in the wisdom which comes from the Unseen.
Such certainty can only be attained through the knowledge that emerges with divine help.

Fear and Hope: Two Pillars of Faith
Fear and hope are two pillars of faith.
By practicing either one of them a person will not fall into error,
because both fear and hope lead to union.
Those who fear devote themselves to God through fear of separation from Him,
and those who hope worship in hope of realizing the ultimate union.
-Al-Razi, "The Kashf al-Mahjub"
