What is the meaning of Iman ?

Huzoor, As-Salaam-Alaikum. What is an Imaan? What is? An Imaan. Imaan? Imaan? Imaan, Imaan. Imaan? That is faith. If you have faith on something, that is called Imaan. An Imaan and not… Please, you can keep standing, otherwise you will lose sight of me or I will lose sight of you. Yes. You know, there are two types of knowledge or beliefs.

One belief springs from observations, like I am observing you and it is not that I have Imaan on you. But if you tell me something which I have not observed myself directly, but I only believe you, that you are right, then that thing, if I believe, is called Imaan. You follow this? Direct observation and personal knowledge is not called Imaan. But an indirect observation, based on some evidence, is called Imaan, if that belief is strongly established in one’s heart. Right?
