Faith is
self-belief or hope in a person, deity, thing, or in the doctrines or teachings
of a religion or view. It can also be trust that is not based on evidence. The
word faith is frequently used as an alternative for trust, hope or belief.
In religion,
faith frequently engages accepting claims about the character of a deity,
nature, or the universe. While some have disagreed that faith is against
reason, proponents of faith
disagree that the proper domain of faith concerns
questions which cannot be resolved by proof.
In other
words, faith is strong certainty; firm trust in something for which there may
be no concrete proof; complete hope in or devotion to. Faith is the reverse of
doubt.
