Minimum degree of knowing Allah

You must know of Allah as much as he has taught the human being and not more or less.

Hawzah News Agency- Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan from al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Yusuf ibn Baqqah from Sayf ibn ‘Umayra from Ibrahim ibn ‘Umar who heard Imam Sadiq (pbuh) said:

إِنَّ أَمْرَ الله كُلَّهُ عَجِيبٌ إِلا أَنَّهُ قَدِ احْتَجَّ عَلَيْكُمْ بِمَا قَدْ عَرَّفَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ.

Indeed, all of God’s affair is wondrous; yet He has established His proof against you through what He has already made you know of Himself.(1)

(1) Commentary: This means one must know Allah only to the extent He has made Himself known to human beings - not more and not less.

Al-Kāfi,Volume 1,Book 3,Chapter 4
