Foundations of knowledge

We can not definitely have knowledge on false P or at least S (not everybody) has to be aware of truth of P. besides the truth of P we need that something should be happened for S in a relation with P. when S knows that P, it implicitly implies that S knows all aspects of P including truth of P and it means that S believes that P is true so belief is another condition for knowledge. The belief condition is applied to the possessor of knowledge. Sometimes a true belief has been attained because of matter of luck for example S predicts something in future (P) by her plain feeling and it happens to be true. For excluding these instances of true beliefs from being knowledge we need another condition, this condition should bring a correlation between truth of P and belief not only for S but also for the external observer and the belief must be grounded in some foundations that it would indicate our true belief has not been achieved by luck but the question is what can be considered as foundation for our beliefs?
Please think and put your valuable comments here.
