الشَّكُّ: نقيض اليقين،
to pierce, puncture, to limp; to stick out; to be dubious, to waver in opinion, misgiving; to attire oneself completely with arms and weapons. To doubt.
Doubt, a status between belief and disbelief, involves uncertainty or distrust or lack of sureness of an alleged fact, an action, a motive, or a decision. Doubt brings into question some notion of a perceived "reality", and may involve delaying or rejecting relevant action out of concerns for mistakes or faults or appropriateness. Some definitions of doubt emphasize the state in which the mind remains suspended between two contradictory propositions and unable to assent to either of them[1]
Doubt is hanging somewhere in between. Not truly convinced, but not
truly dismissing either. doubt (dout)

doubt might be described as hesitation between two positions we are not only interested in the origin of the doubt, but also how it frequently manifests itself For one example, emotional doubt is frequently revealed by distraught emotional states while volitional matters are generally communicated in a much more settled manner. The key to identifying which of the two types of doubt is primarily present in these last two illustrations is found in both the origin of the uncertainty in each particular case and how it manifests itself. For one example, emotional doubt is frequently revealed by distraught emotional states while volitional matters are generally communicated in a much more settled manner. They explain that depression is almost always provoked by a loss of some sort (such as a person, an idea, health or finances), which then causes the individual to devalue himself, his surroundings and his prospect for the future. This condition is also identified in Scripture, such as the person who is "cast down"

Root: ش ك ك
Words from this Root in the Grand Qur'aan: a) Total occurrences: 15 b) No of constructions: 2
The basic perception infolded in it is to be in a dubious and uncertain state or doubt about a thing, matter, case or affair or to suspect that somebody is not sincere or trustworthy. It only reflects dubiousness, uncertainty or mistrust. It is a state accruing when one does not have knowledge, i.e. complete information and detailed facts about a matter or affair but he has a vague idea or has heard something about it. One can be in a state of doubt about anything rendering him skeptical till such time he attains knowledge, information and facts about that thing which would make his perception clear and satisfy his doubts earlier held. Doubt is eliminated on verification which places the mind in a state of certainty or conviction about the thing, matter or affair.
There are hundreds of thousands of things and matters about which one
