Description

The Arabic root ظنن (ẓ-n-n) fundamentally conveys the concept of supposition, assumption, or uncertain belief that falls between knowledge and doubt. In the Quranic context, it frequently distinguishes between certain knowledge (ʿilm) and mere conjecture, often criticizing those who follow assumption without proof, particularly regarding theological matters and the afterlife. The root carries significant epistemological weight in the Quran, emphasizing that assumptions and speculation are insufficient bases for faith and that believers should seek certainty rather than rely on unfounded thoughts.
