Weak iman

Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him) instructed us on how to increase our iman. In brief, Iman includes a declaration of the word, i.e. (the testimony of faith along with other articles) and deep conviction of the heart. Both are translated into action.

 

You need to increase your iman by raising your conviction through knowledge. You must be engaged in sessions and read about Allah, His majesty. You must engage yourself with the Quran, the best book which increases iman.

 

Second, you should keep yourself with all possible righteous deeds which draws you closer to Allah and detach yourself from the Shaytan. Sometimes you repent and you regress very quickly, simply because the righteous deed you offer does not overweigh the evil deeds you did in the past.

 

Allah says in the Quran a very significant example about rocks and hearts. Contemplating on this verse may help you: “Then your hearts became hardened after that, being like stones or even harder. For indeed, there are stones from which rivers burst forth, and there are some of them that split open and water comes out, and there are some of them that fall down for fear of Allah . And Allah is not unaware of what you do.” (Al-Quran 2:74)

 

Hearts are of certain types exactly like rocks. From certain types of rocks, rivers may burst forth. Others are weaker where water can split them, while others may fall asunder. Each type of rock may be destroyed with a certain amount of power and energy. Such is the case of a hard heart. Some hearts need big and great righteous deeds to soften and draw them closer to Allah. You need a big and great righteous deed to get you out of this state of oblivion.

 

You should hasten to revive your iman by practicing every single righteous deed that may draw you closer to Allah. On the top of priorities, you must perfect your obligatory duties including prayers, obligatory fasting  and zakat.

 

If have means, you must hasten to make obligatory hajj. Fulfill your duties towards others including the rights of your parents, wife and children if you have. Then start up your journey with the recommended acts such as daily regular recitation of the Quran, charity, offering your prayers in masjid in congregation and increasing your dosage of dhirk and sending prayers to the Prophet.

 

Keep yourself busy with doing a righteous deed. You will not have time to spend on evil and fruitless acts. Do not forget to spend sometimes in supplicating Allah to support your and stabilize your feet firm on the right path of guidance.

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
