Doubt
The mind that hesitates between two opinions — every tradition treats it not as enemy of faith but as its proving ground.
Judaism
"And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him..."
Christianity
"And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?"
"But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed."
"...Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing."
Islam
"This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah."
