and remain Unseen. The child's negative "fear
of the worst" because it is caused by his uncertain of an Unseen
like ghost and spirit itself indicates one impor- tant thing, -the existence of
the natural positive capacity also for "submission to the best",
that is, his Creator, -in the realm of the Unseen -because it is derived from
'certainty' which is "Al lmaan bil Ghaib". So
let the child be a child under the dictates of a child's nature while he as a
child gropes in the dark for light, that is, knowledge leading to faith and then
conviction, which he attains one after the other regarding the Unseen later in
his adult life.
