Rawiyya is deliberation that can precede a choice made with discernment. In one logical account, it names one’s self-directed acquisition of premises for assent. A settled character is classically distinguished by actions issuing without prior rawiyya.
In ʿAllāmah Ṭabāṭabāʾī’s Works
In al-Manāmāt, ʿAllāmah Ṭabāṭabāʾī uses rawiyya for reflective deliberation involved in reaching a firm judgment about an act. As a cognitive form becomes more firmly rooted and action proceeds from it more readily, the need for rawiyya diminishes, disappearing at complete rootedness.
