Praise be to Allah who is such that it is not possible to describe the reality of knowledge about Him, since His greatness has restrained the intellects, and therefore they cannot find the way to approach the extremity of His realm. He is Allah, the True, the Manifester of Truth. He is more True and more Manifest than eyes can see. Intellects cannot comprehend Him by fixing limits for Him since in that case to Him would be attributed shape. Imagination cannot catch Him by fixing quantities for Him for in that case to Him would be attributed body. He created creatures without any example, and without the advice of a counsel, or the assistance of a helper. His creation was completed by His command, and bowed to His obedience. It responded (to Him) and did not defy (Him). It obeyed and did not resist.
An example of His delicate production, wonderful creation and deep sagacity which He has shown us is found in these bats which keep hidden in the daylight although daylight reveals everything else, and are mobile in the night although the night shuts up every other living being; and how their eyes get dazzled and cannot make use of the light of the sun so as to be guided in their movements and so as to reach their known places through the direction provided by the sun.
Allah has prevented them from moving in the brightness of the sun and confined them to their places of hiding instead of going out at the time of its shining. Consequently they keep their eyelids down in the day and treat night as a lamp and go with its help in search of their livelihood. The darkness of night does not obstruct their sight nor does the gloom of darkness prevent them from movement. As soon as the sun removes its veil and the light of morning appears, and the rays of its light enter upon the lizards in their holes, the bats pull down their eyelids on their eyes and live on what they had collected in the darkness of the night. Glorified is He who has made the night as day for them to seek livelihood and made the day for rest and stay.
He has given them wings of flesh with which, at the time of need they rise upwards for flying. They look like the ends of ears without feathers or bones. Of course, you can see the veins quite distinctly. They have two wings which are neither too thin so that they get turned in flying, nor too thick so that they prove heavy. When they fly, their young ones hold on to them and seek refuge with them, getting down when they get down and rising up when they rise. The young does not leave them till its limbs become strong, its wings can support it for rising up, and it begins to recognise its places of living and its interest. Glorified is He who creates everything without any previous sample by someone else.

U can't know that u believe because they are 2 entirely different things. Try to learn the meanings of these words and apply them to your life.
Belief/ Believe= To accept information as true without any credibility to this information. Nothing to compare it to. This is the most deceptive word in religion and religion encourages it because they can't prove most of the accounts of their belief. Leaving room for doubt.
Know/ Knowledge= Acquired information that can be verified by either experience, evidence or reasoning. 3 basic but effective methods of learning thus it results in confirming the subject being questioned. Eliminating all doubt.

Its not a problem to know you believe. If you believe you feel it. It's just hard to be sure there is a god or to start believing when ur new to religion...

Because I have spent a lot of time testing my faith and questioning my beliefs and have finally come to the conclusion that I believe 100% in my God and redeemer.

"Faith comes from hearing and hearing from the word of God." (Romans 10:17)
"But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name." (John 20:31)
"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." (1 John 5:13)
You know if you believe, and believe correctly by checking the source of faith, the things written. Also by the things written, you can know if you have eternal life.

Because I put my complete trust in it and base my life around it, and God has never let me down. That's how I know I believe.

I am assuming you mean belief in a creator. I do not believe in God. I know God, personally. He loves me, and you, and would like for us all to know him. He only reveals himslef, however, to those who wish to find him, and seek after him with all their hearts. This is why what I know to be true, you require physical evidence of.

I am no more sure of anything else...I am more sure I believe than I am sure that this thing I am hitting with my fingers is called a keyboard.

Faith is believing in that which you can't prove with human means. And worse come worse serve I figure it's better to die believing in God and find out there isn't one than to die not believing in God and finding out there is one.
