S IGN S OF T HE T RU E FAIT H 57 demonstrates the existence of God Almighty in the manner of practical experience and through the adornment of personal witness since the initial condition of a righteous one is like an insignificant particle or like a mustard seed sown by a farmer, lying destitute in the most despic- able circumstances.

Assuredly, this is the Sign that advances a seeker of truth to the level of H aqqul-Yaq i n [True Certainty] and serves as categorical proof for the existence of God, but it is only for those who seek God, who
