12:108 “I am on sure knowledge verifiable by reason and (so are) those who follow me” عَلَىٰ بَصِيرَةٍ أَنَا وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِي is a superb testimony to the elevated intellectual and spiritual standing of the Companions and other followers of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and their exceptional faith. They do not call to Allâh out of mere conjecture of His existence; instead, their knowledge is the outcome of a conscious insight accessible to and verifiable by a human beings understanding and reasoning.
