Hujjat

Hujjat is a big word that means having proof or evidence to support what you believe or say. Think of it like having a really strong reason for why you think something is true. It's like when you tell your mom that you didn't break the vase, you have hujjat if you can prove it and show her that you were sleeping in your room when it happened.

In Islam, hujjat is very important because it helps us make sure we are practicing our religion correctly. When we believe in Allah and follow the teachings of Prophet Muhammad, we need to have hujjat to support these beliefs. For example, we might have hujjat by knowing about the Quran and Sunnah, which are the important books that describe how we should act and live as Muslims.

Having hujjat is like having a strong foundation for your beliefs, which helps you feel more confident and secure about what you believe.
