"of the indicated without seeking the evidence. The seeker of evidence seeks it to reach the knowledge of the indicated. If one is witnessing the indicated, why seek the evidence? Nothing is valid in the mind if the day needs evidence."
-
"and forbidding what He forbids. Section: The التَّوْحِيد of the Common People That Is Validated by Evidence The statement, "This is the التَّوْحِيد of the common people, which is validated by evidence," indicates that this is the التَّوْحِيد of the elite among"

"At the end of the سُورَة, He affirms the prophethood of His Messenger with the best rational evidence and responds to the doubts of the deniers with the best answers. Similarly, He affirms the resurrection with rational and sensory evidence,"
Volume Two
Ibn al-Qayyim · Madārij al-Sālikīn
-
"apparent than the evidence itself? Some have said: "How can I seek evidence for the One who is evidence for everything?" Therefore, relying on evidence indicates a lack of certainty."
-
"heart, as evidence disperses while the indicated gathers, and the seeker aims for unity with the indicated, then why should they concern themselves with the division of evidence? This affliction is why some seekers have turned away from knowledge and discouraged it,"
-
"He means by inference: perception and witnessing. That is, the person has become independent of seeking evidence. For one seeks evidence to gain knowledge of what is indicated. When what is indicated is witnessed by him—and he has perceived it through his"
Book 1: The Book of Knowledge
Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din
-
"Although you do not doubt either matter, one appears clearer because of the greater number of informants. Similarly, in theoretical matters known through evidence, clarity from a single piece of evidence is not like clarity from multiple pieces of evidence, even with no doubt present."
-
"Similarly, when comparing mathematics and astronomy, mathematics is considered nobler due to the reliability and strength of its evidence. However, if mathematics is compared to medicine, medicine is nobler for its outcomes, while mathematics remains superior in evidence."
-
"It is the nature of reason to hesitate before accepting the existence of the eternal without immediate evidence. Some people believe confidently by hearing alone, which is mere belief, while others believe through evidence."

"alcohol. Third, the absence of a particular evidence does not necessitate the absence of evidence altogether, nor the absence of the ruled. How so, when we have already shown that the evidence you deny is not absent? As for your argument that it involves intercourse"
Volume One
Ibn al-Qayyim · Madārij al-Sālikīn
-
"I heard شَيْخ الإِسْلَام تَقِيّ الدِّين اِبْن تَيْمِيَّة, may اللّٰه sanctify his soul, say: How can evidence be sought for the One who is evidence for everything? He often recited this verse: "Nothing is valid in the minds if the day needs evidence.""
-
"Glory be to the One who introduced Himself to His creation in various ways, guided them with all kinds of indications, opened all paths to Him, and then set up the straight path to Him, introducing it and guiding them to it, "so that those who perish would perish upon evidence and those who live would live upon evidence, and indeed, اللّٰه is Hearing and Knowing.""
-
"However, the predecessors had a depth and subtlety of understanding that many of the later generations do not grasp. The use of this حَدِيث as evidence is correct after establishing a principle, if you understand the subtlety and precision of using it as evidence."
Book 14: The Lawful and the Unlawful
Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din
-
"However, there must be clear evidence for its permissibility, not from unestablished public interests. The divisions mentioned are all unestablished public interests. Therefore, there must be specific evidence to measure against it, so that the reasoning is unanimously accepted, as some scholars do not accept unestablished public interests."
-
"However, without evidence, an unsubstantiated possibility is like a non-existent possibility. For example, if someone borrows a house and the lender disappears, leaving it due to the possibility of the lender's death is an obsession unless there is evidence of death."
-
"Avoiding doubtful matters is an obsession, which we can call the piety of the obsessive. This is because it is a mere delusion without evidence. If there was evidence, such as finding a ring in a fish's ear or an injury on a gazelle, it would be different."
Book 2: The Book of Belief
Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din
-
"The faith of the common person is firm and unshakeable, while the belief of the dialectician is fragile, swayed by various arguments. If someone accepts evidence with the same credulity as belief, there is no difference between teaching evidence and learning proof."
Book 18: The Book of Listening and Ecstasy
Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya' 'Ulum al-Din
-
"Therefore, if the evidence for permissibility is clear, we need not be concerned with those who differ after the evidence becomes apparent. As for Imam al-Shafi'i, may Allah be pleased with him, prohibiting singing is not part of his school of thought."
Book 19: The Book of Commanding Good and Forbidding Evil
Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya' 'Ulum al-Din
-
"However, when enjoining good involves prevention, the aim is coercion, which requires both action and evidence. If the person is a sinner, coercing through action means succeeding with evidence, though they might be told, "You have not acted upon it."

"Of this too is the word of Nuh: "O my people, have you considered — if I stand upon a clear proof from my Lord, and He has granted me a mercy from Himself?" And the word of Shu'ayb: "Have you considered — if I stand upon a clear proof"

Book 30: The Condemnation of Self-Delusion
Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din
-
"As a result, they see doubt as evidence and evidence as doubt. The rightly guided group, on the other hand, is deluded by considering their debates as the most important affairs and acts of devotion in the religion of Allah."
Volume 3 — The Sīrah: From the First Revelation to Badr
Ibn Kathir · Al-Bidāya wal-Nihāya
-
"of Allah, peace be upon him. The majority have supported this with lengthy evidence, which is mentioned in the Book of Rituals from the Rulings, If Allah Wills. The most famous evidence for this is what Imam Ahmad narrated."
