What did Kierkegaard mean by 'leap of faith'?

The 'leap of faith' is a concept Kierkegaard introduced to describe the act of believing in something without sufficient evidence, particularly in the context of religious faith. He argued that faith involves taking a leap beyond the rational and empirical into the realm of the spiritual and personal, where individuals must embrace uncertainty and commit themselves to beliefs that cannot be fully justified through reason alone.
