LessonsIncrease and Decrease of Faith: Assent, Conviction, and Detailed BeliefQuiz

التَّصْدِيقُ الْقَلْبِيُّ الَّذِي بَلَغَ حَدَّ الْجَزْمِ وَالْإِذْعَانِ
Inward assent that has reached certainty and acceptance.

Jazm indicates firm affirmation rather than mere probability or hesitation. Idhʿān concerns the heart's submission to the truth affirmed.

For example, a person firmly believes prayer to be obligatory. Performing a prayer adds an act of obedience; omitting one incurs disobedience. Neither fact, by itself, demonstrates a mathematically equal change in the essence of the person's assent. Other effects of sin on belief require a separate inquiry.
