RE: Theists, what does faith mean to you?

Saying you believe and even convincing yourself that you believe, per Quran, are not sufficient qualifications for true faith in God or his Signs/proofs/pointers/guidance. Rather it takes seeing power of the heart, understanding, reflection, light, knowledge, and trust that is justified. This is through his name/face which gives light to all things and embraces all things. A living connection from the unseen to the seen, light with every light.

This what "faith" means in Quran. I'm not sure of the Bible or other religions, but convincing yourself that you know something to be true is not the praised faith discussed by his Prophets or Chosen ones.
