The Book of Certainty
Seminar#2
by Reza Shah-Kazemi
In this series, Dr Reza Shah-Kazemi will discuss The Book of Certainty by Dr Martin Lings, also known as Shaykh Abū Bakr Sirāj ad-Dīn. The talks will be in the form of seminars where Reza will start by reading a few pages from the book, then elucidate some of the meanings. The audience will then be invited to participate and engage in a Q&A session.
An interesting question was raised by one of the audience about attaining a degree of certainty. He goes on by asking about how do we take into account the idea of self-deception, especially now with the new age and pseudo spirituality movements. How do we know from ourselves whether we actually attain something or whether it is merely a self-deception.
