Being inquisitive can strengthen your faith

While some aspects of our Creator cannot be grasped by human senses, there is nothing wrong with being inquisitive about His exalted traits and how He ordains matters. In fact, knowing Allah better makes our belief firm, and enables us to serve Him with greater sincerity and devotion. If you are inquisitive about His ways, it may reaffirm your faith in His creative abilities. Consider the following plea made by Ibrahim (AS) to satisfy his heart: 'And [mention] when Ibrahim said, ‗My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead.‘ [Allah] said, ‗Have you not believed?‘ He said, ‗Yes, but [I ask] only that my heart may be satisfied.‘' (2:260)
