10 Steps to Increasing our Iman(Faith)

The Prophet Muhammad (S) said: "Religion wears out in the heart of whatsoever 1 of you just equally wearing apparel wear out, and so ask Allah to renew the faith in your hearts" (Mustadrak al-Haakim).

Our Iman is not always as audio and strong as nosotros want it to be as it often fluctuates according to life circumstances. There are several causes for weakening Iman such as deficiencies in our prayers or the insinuating whispers from the Shaytan. Regardless of the crusade, information technology is crucial for all of us to keep a check on our Iman and if we experience it is faltering in any way then nosotros should have measures to restore it. It is our responsibility to know which things subtract our Iman and how to avert them and those that increment our Iman and how to embrace them.

What are signs of a weak imaan?

Signs of weak imaan:

• Committing sins and not feeling whatsoever guilt.
• Having a difficult heart and no desire to read the Quran.
• Feeling besides lazy to exercise good deeds, e.1000. being late for salat
• Neglecting the Sunnah.
• Having mood swings, for case being upset about little things and bothered and irritated virtually of the time.
• Not feeling anything when hearing verses from the Quran, for example when Allah warns us of punishments and His hope of glad tidings.
• Finding difficulty in remembering Allah and making dhikr.
• Not feeling bad when things are done against the Shariah.
• Desiring condition and wealth.
• Existence mean and miserly, i.east. not wanting to function with wealth.
• Ordering others to practise practiced deeds when not practising them ourselves.
• Feeling pleased when things are not progressing for others.
• Beingness concerned with whether something is haram or halal only; and not avoiding makroo (non recommended) things.
• Making fun of people who practise uncomplicated good deeds, like cleaning the mosque.
• Not feeling concerned about the situation of Muslims.
• Not feeling the responsibility to do something to promote Islam.
• Existence unable to deal with calamities, for instance crying and yelling in funerals.
• Liking to argue just for the sake of arguing without any proof.
• Becoming engrossed and very involved with dunya, worldly things, i.e. feeling bad only when losing something in terms of fabric wealth.
• Becoming engrossed and obsessive almost ourselves.

Here are 10 means that we tin can brighten up our Iman starting from today!

1. Recognise and Repent
Every bit humans we all commit sins no thing how hard nosotros try to avoid them considering were created to be imperfect. Engaging in evil deeds decreases our Iman. Actions like lying, adulterous and stealing, to proper name merely a few, take a toll on the homo eye and soul which makes us more susceptible to being atomic number 82 astray from the Path of Allah. It is of import for us to reflect upon our deeds and weed out the ones that are contrary to the teachings of the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (S). Allah has gifted united states of america with an innate sense of justice and the ability to reason and make sound judgements. Our fitrah (natural disposition) necessitates that we all know when we are committing a sin. And if we don't know, we certainly have a bevy of resource to detect out from!

• Weather for the acceptance of repentance

The word tauba which is rendered as repentance in English, is non a elementary term as most people believe. It is very rich in significant and implication, and is not just a word of mouth later on which the sinner continues in his sins. Says Allah, Glorified exist He: "Seek forgiveness of your Lord and then plough to Him in repentance." (Hud: 3). Do you notice how turning to the Lord in repentance has been added to the search for His forgiveness?

It is quite in keeping with its importance, therefore, that repentance should have, every bit the scholars have stated, atmospheric condition attached to it for its acceptance.

They are as follows:

• First: Giving up of the sin itself.
• Second: Remorse over what has been committed.
• Third: A resolve not to repeat it, and, Quaternary: Compensating those who have been wronged or obtaining their forgiveness.

2. Perform Salah Regularly

Completing the five daily prayers, on time and according to the Sunnah, is an excellent mode to increase our Iman. Non only are we performing an obligatory deed when praying, merely by doing so we take a continuing audience with the Creator of this world where we can enquire for help and mercy. The result of the salah on the homo soul is cooling as Muhammad (Due south) in one case said that it cooled his eyes. The salah connects the states with our Creator and, along with obedience to Allah, helps us to enjoin what is good and preclude what is evil.

Allah Almighty says in the Holy Qur'an:

"The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, experience a fear in their hearts and when His Verses -this Qur'an- are recited unto them, they (i.e. the Verses) increase their Faith; and they put their trust in their Lord (Lonely); Who perform salah and spend out of that Nosotros have provided them. It is they who are the believers in truth. For them are grades of nobility with their Lord, and Forgiveness and a generous provision (Paradise)" (Al-Anfal: ii-iv).

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah (RAA) Rasulullah (SAW) said: The similitude of v prayers is like an alluvion river passing by the gate of i of y'all in which he washes five times daily. Hasan said: No filthiness can remain on him. (Sahih Muslim Volume four, Hadith # 1411)

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RAA) Rasualullah (SAW) said, "Martyrs are those who die because of drowning, plague, an abdominal disease, or of beingness buried alive by a falling building." And and then he added, "If the people knew the Reward for the Zuhr prayer in its early time, they would race for it. If they knew the reward for the 'Isha' and the Fajr prayers in congregation, they would join them even if they had to crawl. If they knew the reward for the get-go row, they would draw lots for it." (Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 1, Book 11, Hadith # 688)

For the people who don't pray:

Informing united states of america about the inhabitants of Hell, Allaah (SWT) says "(The people in Hell volition be asked What has caused you to enter Hell? They will say: "Nosotros were non of those who used to offer their Salât (prayers). Nor did we feed the poor. And we used to talk falsehood (all that which Allaah hated) with vain-talkers. And we used to belie thc Twenty-four hour period of Recompense. Until there came to us that which is sure (i.east., decease). So no Intercession of intercessors will benefit them. (Sura Al-Muddaththir, ayah 42-48)

Rasulullah (SAW) said "The covenant between us and them is prayer, so if anyone abandons it he has become a disbeliever." (Agreed upon by Ahmad, Tirmidhee and Nasaa'ee to be authentic)

In an other Hadith of Rasulullah (SAW) said "What lies between a man and disbelief is the abandonment of prayer."( Agreed upon by Muslim, Abu Dawood and Nasaa'ee as sahih authentic)

3. Qur'anic Recitations

Medical studies take shown that simply listening to a recitation of the Holy Qur'an has a physiological upshot on our bodies. Research has as well proven that the Qur'an has healing qualities on the trunk, listen and spirit. What improve style to increment our Iman than to mind to the recitation of the Holy Qur'an on an audio device! Listen to the melodious rhythm of the Qur'an and while doing so endeavor to reflect upon the meanings of what you are listening to.We should e'er strive to read as much of the Qur'an as possible as reading the word of allah especially with the meanings will significantly increment our imaan and elevate u.s.a. in this earth and the side by side!

Hazrat Abdullah bin Masud radhiyallahu anhu narrates that The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam said: "Whoever reads ane alphabetic character of the Quran receives the reward of one good deed. And one practiced deed is multiplied ten times.

Hazrat Abu Huraira radhiyallahu anhu reports that Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam said: "Whoever listens to one verse of the Book of Allah, a proficient human activity that multiplies continuously is recorded. And one who reads a verse of the Quran, that poetry will be a Noor for him on the Solar day of Sentence."

Hazrat Anas radhiyallahu anhu reports that Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam said:"Whoever reads the Quran, Allah grants that person ten good deeds for every letter. And for i who hears the Quran beingness recited, Allah grants a good deed for every letter, and such a person will exist resurrected amidst those who will recite and arise the stages of Jannat."Hazrat Ibni Abbas radhiyallahu anhu narrates that Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam said: "He who listens to one letter of the Quran, 10 good deeds are recorded for him, ten sins are forgiven, and his status is elevated by ten stages."

4. Appoint in Dhikr

"…Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts notice rest." (13:28)

Remembrance of Allah indeed is the greatest virtue.(29:46).

O ye who believe let not your wealth and your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah . (63:10)

O ye who believe, remember Allah much. And glorify Him morning time and evening (33:42-43)

When the signs of the Gracious Allah are recited unto them, they fall down, prostrating themselves before Allah weeping.(nineteen:59)

According to these verses the attitude of those who truly think Allah is the post-obit:

i. Their hearts are filled with the fear of Allah because they are reminded of the status and the Glory of their God.
ii. Their skins creep, i.eastward., the hair on their bodies rise due to their state of fear.
three. Their bodies are softened, their hearts become tender.
4. They prostrate, i.due east., they commencement worshiping Allah .
5. They weep or weep.

Remembering Allah much through acts of dhikr brings much peace and serenity to the heart. It also gives us a sense of taqwa(fear of allah), a consciousness that makes u.s.a. realise that Allah Almighty is ever near and that we should always strive to please Him.

Some beneficial dhikr include:

Subhan'Allah- 'Praise exist to Allah'
Al-Hamdullilah- 'Thanks be to Allah'
Allahu Akbar – 'Allah is the Greatest.'
La ila ha illallah- There is no worthy of worship except allah

Abu haraira(ra) Narrates: Prophet(saw) said: whoever says: Subhanallahi Wa Bihamdihi – (I deem Allah costless of whatever resemblances to anything whatever in any echo, and I glorify his praises) one hundred times a mean solar day will have his sins forgiven even though they may be equally much equally the foam of the sea – (Bukhari,b73:c19)

Read much of this zikr:

Subhaan-Allahi walhamdu-lillaahi, wa laa ilaa-ha illa-la ill-lal-lahu wallahu Akbar, walaa haula wala quoow-wata illa billa hil-Aliyyil-azeem.

"Celebrity is for Allaah and all Praise is due to Allah. At that place is none worthy of worship except Allaah. Allaah is the greatest. There is no ability and no forcefulness except with Allaah the Near High, the Not bad."

5.Voluntary Fasting

Fasting can exist thought of as a prescription for us, which cures the maladies of the human soul. There are innumerable benefits to fasting nawafil fasts. Fasting helps u.s. be thankful to Allah for His Bounty, control unlawful desires, accept pity for the less fortunate and it weakens the effects of waswas, the insinuating whispers from the Shaytan.

Here is an explanation of the spiritual significant of the Islamic Fasting:

1. It teaches homo the principle of sincere Love: because when he observes Fasting he does it out of deep love for God. And the man who loves God truly is a human who actually knows what love is.

two. Information technology equips man with a artistic sense of hope and an optimistic outlook on life; because when he fasts he is hoping to delight God and is seeking His Grace.

3. It imbues in man the genuine virtue of effective devotion, honest dedication and closeness to God; considering when he fasts he does so for God and for His sake solitary.

4. It cultivates in homo a vigilant and sound censor; considering the fasting person keeps his fast in hush-hush too as in public. In fasting, specially, there is no mundane potency to cheque man'south beliefs or hogtie him to observe fasting. He keeps it to please God and satisfy his ain conscience by being faithful in undercover and in public. In that location is no better way to cultivate a sound conscience in man.

v. It indoctrinates human being in patience and selflessness, as through fasting, he feels the pains of deprivation but he endures them patiently.

6. It is an constructive lesson in applied moderation and willpower.

7. Fasting also provides homo with a transparent soul, a clear heed and a light body.

8. Information technology shows man a new way of wise savings and sound budgeting.

nine. It enables man to master the art of Mature Adaptability. We can hands empathize the point once we realize that fasting makes man change the unabridged class of his daily life.

10. It grounds man in field of study and healthy survival.

11. It originates in man the real spirit of social belonging, unity and brotherhood, of equality before God equally well as before the law.

12. It is a Godly prescription for self-reassurance and self-control.

vi.Carrying out Good Deeds

Doing proficient deeds for others tin can be similar switching on a light seedling in a darkened room. No matter how awful we are feeling there is just something about offering a helping hand to someone in need that lifts our spirits and brightens our Iman. We should get to the stage where we crave to do good deeds! Because our good deeds are our eternal investment which will benefit us for the rest of eternity rather than investment into this life which is very temporary indeed! And so what investment sounds meliorate? Eternal investment which will give the states eternal elation or temporary investment which has a chance of failing even though nosotros spend our whole lives investing in it! Yous choose!

Allah Omnipotent says in the Holy Qur'an: "For those who believe and work righteous deeds is a reward that volition never fail"(Fussilat: 8).

Time in Islam is more than gold or any precious cloth thing in this world. Of all religions, merely Islam guides flesh not only to the importance of time simply also how to value it. Allah I the Omnipotent and His Messenger, the Prophet Muhammad r, very conspicuously tell us the value of time, why nosotros must not waste it and how nosotros tin make employ of our time wisely to increase our iman (faith) and thus attain success, especially eternal success in the life Futurity.

Bin 'Abbas narrated t that Allâh'southward Messenger r said,"There are 2 blessings which many people lose: (They are) health and free time for doing skilful." (Bukhari 8/421)

Abdullah Bin Mas'ud t narrated: "I asked the Prophet, 'Which human action is the dear to Allah?' He replied, "To offer salaat (the prayers) at their early on stock-still times." I asked, "What is the next (in goodness)?" He replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents." I' again asked, "What is the next (in goodness)? "He replied, "To participate in jihad (religious fighting) in Allah's Cause." (Bukhari 1/ 505)

Abu Qatada, Bin Rab'i t narrated that the Prophet , said, "Allâh the Exalted said: 'I made five times (daily) prayers obligatory on your people. And I took a guarantee that if anyone observes them regularly at their times, I shall admit him to Paradise. If anyone does not offer them regularly, there is no such guarantee of Mine for him." (Abu Dawood 430)

If we fear Allah for His wrath and hope for His rewards in the eternal globe to come, time has come up for united states to give due value to the importance of fourth dimension. We should attempt not to waste about of our time seeking worldly pleasures. Information technology is for our guidance that we must accept admonition from the post-obit accurate hadîth:

Abu Hurairah t narrated that Allâh'due south Messenger r said, Be prompt in doing good deeds (before you are overtaken) by turbulence which would be like a office of the dark dark. During (that stormy menses) a man would be a Muslim in the morning and an unbeliever in the evening or he would be a laic in the evening and an unbeliever in the morning, and would sell his religion for worldly appurtenances." (Muslim 213)

Abu Hurairah t narrated that Allâh's Messenger r said,"Hasten to do adept deeds before six things happen: the rise of the lord's day from the w, the fume, the Dajjal, the beast and (the death) of one you or the full general turmoil." (Muslim 7039)

"Call and then upon Allâh with sincere devotion to Him fifty-fifty though the Unbelievers may hate it." Qur'an 40:14

Verily, time is very of import for our success both in this temporary earth and the eternal globe to come. If nosotros waste matter fourth dimension, if nosotros abuse it, and so we waste and abuse our lives. In the Life Futurity we will be amidst the losers, who will suffer the torments in the Hell-Fire, if Allah I the Omnipotent will not forgive u.s.a.. Therefore, if we really requite value to our lives then, we must give due value to the importance of time.

7.Remembering Death

Every soul shall gustatory modality death

Allah has said in the Qur'aan:"Every soul will taste death."

From this verse we know that decease is such a matter that yous can't escape from even if you are in a house, which is built with metal walls, and has a massive padlock. Death will not only come when hair and the bristles turn white, just it can come at any time, even when you are a baby, or an old person or a teenager or of middle age. Fifty-fifty if yous are a male monarch, a Prime Minister or a leader of 1 of the tribes.

Merits of the Remembrance of Death

Know that the person, who is engrossed in the globe and cheated by its mannerly coquetries, is unmindful of the remembrance of death. They do not remember death and when they are reminded of it, they practise not like it. Allah has said regarding such a man:"The deaths from which you flee away volition meet y'all. Thereafter you will exist led to the Knower of the world seen and unseen. You will then be informed of what y'all did."

Hazrat Bilal bin Masood and Umar bin Abdul Aziz Radiallaho Anho said, "O People! You lot are not created for being destroyed". You volition travel from one habitation to another home. For a believer, death is a souvenir.

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wassallam has said, "The gift for a believer is decease".

Due to the hardship which the believer goes through in this world, death becomes easy for him and all of his anxieties disappear. Therefore, it is described as a gift in the Hadith.

Hazrat Mahmood bin Labeed says that the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wassallam said, "Mankind likes two things very much. I of these things is life, though death is much meliorate for him, and the second is wealth though poverty makes accounting easy.

Hazrat ibn Umar Radiallaho Anho says, "This world is paradise for the non-believers (they are engaged in their worldly desires and aspirations). This world is a jail or prison for the faithful (momins). They are leap by the laws of Shari at in every thing. Therefore, when the soul of a momin leaves his body (at the fourth dimension of decease), it is as if a captive has been freed from the cell. He cleans himself by turning in the dust.

viii.Gaining knowledge

To seek knowledge is a sacred duty, it is obligatory on every Muslim, male and female. The first word revealed of the Qur'an was "Iqra" READ! Seek knowledge! Brainwash yourselves! Exist educated.

Surah Al-Zumr, ayah nine reveals: "Are those equal, those who know and those who do non know?"

Surah Al-Baqarah, ayah 269 reveals: "Allah grants wisdom to whom He pleases and to whom wisdom is granted indeed he receives an flood benefit."

Ibn Mas'ud (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (S) said: The position of only two persons is enviable; the person whom Allah bestowed wealth empowering him to spend it in the style of righteousness, and the person whom Allah gave wisdom with which he adjudges and which he teaches to others

According to Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah, Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (Due south) said: A single scholar of faith is more than formidable against shaytaan than a thousand devout persons.

Islam is our greatest gift. We accept to be thankful for this gift. We accept to render to Allah His due. Allah has given us and so much past making us a part of the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad (S) so we must totally commit ourselves as followers of the Prophet (S). We must go true Muslims.

A person without noesis is like someone walking forth a track in complete darkness. Most probable his steps volition wander aside and he easily tin exist deceived by shaytaan. This shows that our greatest danger lies in our ignorance of Islamic teachings and in our unawareness of what the Qur'an teaches and what guidance has been given past the Prophet (Southward). Merely if we are blessed with the light of knowledge we volition be able to see evidently the clear path of Islam at every footstep of our lives. We shall also be able to identify and avoid the unsafe paths of Kufr, Shirk and immorality, which may cross it. And, whenever a false guide meets us on the style, a few words with him will apace constitute that he is not a guide who should be followed.

Every 1 of us, young or old, man or adult female, should at least acquire sufficient knowledge to enable ourselves to understand the essence of the teachings of the Qur'an and the purpose for which it has been sent down. Nosotros should as well exist able to understand clearly the mission, which our beloved Prophet (S) came into this world to fulfil. Nosotros should also recognize the decadent order and system, which he came to destroy. Nosotros should acquaint ourselves, too, with the way of life which Allah has ordained for us.

No great corporeality of time is required to larn this elementary knowledge. If we truly value Iman, it cannot be as well hard to find one hour every 24-hour interval to devote for our Iman.

Hadith states:

"He who acquires cognition acquires a vast portion." AND "If anyone going on his way in search of noesis, God will, thereby brand easy for him the manner to Paradise."

May Allah (SWT) give us strength to behave and act merely every bit He likes us to do and be pleased with us, and that should be the purpose of our lives. Rabbi zidnee ilma (O Lord, increment us in knowledge). Aameen.

nine.Making much dua(supplication)

Dua is defined as any invocation or prayer addressed to Allah (SWT). In our times, nosotros find many reasons why people do not make Dua; we forget, don't know how, or just do not think it will be answered. Central to this is the loss of dependence and trust upon Allah. Every bit Muslims there is something very wrong when we believe our Duas won't be answered.We do non plough to Allah in our times of need and instead put our trust, dependence and hopes on worldly things that we call up willhelp us. Although these temporal things are the means through which our Duas tin be answered, the root of our being should exist trained automatically to turn to Allah and not anything or anyone else. Through Dua, we strengthen our Imaan and our relationship with Allah, equally well as enhance our awareness of cause and effect that can assistance inspire and motivate u.s. to be closer to Islam in our lives.

We find many reassurances throughout the Quran for those who brand Dua. Allah the Exalted, has said: "And your Lord says: Pray unto me: and I will hear your prayer" (Quran twoscore:60), "Phone call upon your Lord Humbly and in hole-and-corner" (Quran vii:55),
"When My servants question thee concerning Me, I am indeed shut (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me" (Quran 2:186), "Is not He (all-time) who listens to the (soul) distressed when information technology calls on Him, and who relieves its suffering." (Quran 27:62)

Aisha radhiallaahu anha said, "No believer makes Dua and information technology is wasted. Either it is granted here in this globe or deposited for him in the Hereafter as long as he does non get frustrated."

In fact, it is even incorrect to never brand Dua, "Whosoever does not supplicate to Allah, He volition be aroused with Him."[Saheeh Jaami`as-Sagheer #2414]

Nosotros tin and should make Dua in every condition, i.e. in hardship and in prosperity.

In that location are likewise some special times to make Dua where information technology is more likely to be accepted:

i. When one is oppressed
2. Between the time of Athan and Iqama
3. At the time of the call for prayer
4. At the time of fighting when warriors are engaged with each other
5. When information technology is raining
vi. When one is sick
7. The last 3rd of the night
8. Ramadan (especially Lailatul Qadr)
9. After the Fard part of prayer
ten. When traveling
11. When breaking fast
12. In Sujood
13. Fridays, some say on Friday later on Asr prayer
fourteen. While drinking the water from the well of Zamzam
15. At the start of prayer (Dua of Istiftah)
16. When one begins the prayer, i.e. with "all praise be to
Allah, the Pure and the Blessed 1"
17. While one recites al-Fatiha (which is a Dua)
18. When Ameen is said in the prayer (also relating to Fatiha)
19. At the time of raising the head later on the Rukoo
20. In the last part of the prayer after conveying blessings unto the Prophet (SAW)
21. Before finishing the prayer (earlier Tasleem (saying the Salaam to the angels))
22. At the stop of Wudu
23. On the day of Arafah
24. On waking upwardly from slumber
25. At times of adversity
26. Prayer later the death of a person
27. Dua when someone'south heart is filled with sincerity and when it is focused on Allah
28. Dua of the parent against or for his children
29. When the lord's day moves from its peak but before the Dhuhr prayer
thirty. The Dua of a Muslim for his brother without the latter'southward cognition
31. At the time the army advances to fight in the manner of Allah.

Dua tin be beautified and perfected by certain actions:

i. Have Wudu, face Qibla, be great and clean
two. Raise both easily upwardly to the shoulder with palms open facing up
3. Use words of Allah and Muhammad (SAW)-i.due east. Duas found in Quran and Hadith
iv. Ask by Asma alHusna- Allah's Beautiful Names
5. Ask Allah by your proficient deeds
6. Be insistent-repeat (i.e. 3x'south)
7. Glorify Allah and recite Durud for the Prophet (SAW) at both the starting time and cease
eight. Prove humility, entreaty, desire and fearfulness while making Dua
ix. Repent and try to make amends where i has wronged
10. Confess mistakes, shortcomings, and sins
11. Go on voice between a whisper and speaking aloud
12. Prove the need for Allah's help and implore Him for release from weakness, hardship and tribulation.
xiii. Seize the opportunity of time, situation and circumstance in which prayers are answered
14. Avoid rhymed prose to go along concentration
15. Crying when making Dua
sixteen. The Dua of Dhun-Nun (Yunus) by which he invoked Allah from inside the belly of the whale was: "LAa ilaha illa Anta, Subhanaka innee kuntu min aDH-DHaalimeen."

No Muslim always makes Dua with it but Allah answers it." [at tirmidhi in his sunan, ahmad and hakim reported it and hakim declared it authentic and adh dhahabee agreed]

17. End with "Alhamdulillah rabbil alameen"

Allah Almighty says in the Qur'an:

"When my servants inquire yous concerning me, (tell them) I am indeed shut (to them). I mind to the prayer of every suppliant when he calls on me." [ii:186] The identify of duaa is and then loftier to Allah, that the Prophet had said: "Nothing is more honourable to Allah the Nigh Loftier than du`a."
[Sahih al-Jami` no.5268].

He too said: "The well-nigh excellent worship is du`a."
[Sahih Al-Jami` no. 1133];

In order to warn those who are arogant, or careless in making duaa, the Prophet said: "The most incapable person is the i who does non make du`a, and the virtually miserly person is the one who does non give salaam."
[Sahih Al-Jami` no. 1055],

And allow not there be anyone who says: "... my Lord won't reply my prayer, because of this and that.. or because of so and so..". No! Indeed Allah is the Most Generous King. Is there anyone who met a king, and praised and glorified him, and then asked, however the asking was not granted? So what about Allah, the King of the Heavens and the Globe - who has full command over your life, your wealth and your futurity. Why would He not grant you your request? I

Indeed, our beloved Prophet had said: "Verily your Lord is the 1 modest and Generous, and when His servant raises his easily to Him in supplication, He is diffident (in some wordings, shy or hesitant) from returning them empty."
[Ahmad, Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi - Hasan]

ten.Having Trust in Allah
The best way for us to increase our Iman is to completely submit our will to Allah and have total trust in him and we can do this by doing out utmost to follow every command in the Qur'an and Sunnah. We should live our life according to them and nosotros will discover success around every corner of our lives inshallah. If we turn to Allah in happy times so he will help united states in times of distress and anguish. We should have patience in Allah'due south Decree and accept it that it is for the best and is meant to happen considering he is the knower of all things and the omnipotent and always remember that no matter what trials or tribulations we do face in this Globe, one day nosotros will be called to account for our deeds which were hopefully sent along with much goodness and patience.I pray that inshallah on qiyamah we be given our practiced deeds in our right easily and allah has mercy on us and gives u.s.a. Jannatul Firdaus. Ameen

In Surah At-Tauba: 51, Allah (SWT) says "Say: 'Cypher volition happen to the states except what Allah has decreed for us: He is our protector': And on Allah let the Believers put their trust."

In Surah Ash-Shu'araa:217 Allah (SWT) says "And put thy trust on the exalted in Might, The Merciful."

In Surah Al-Imran:159, Allah (SWT) says "...And then, when g hast taken a decision, put thy trust in Allah. For Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him)."

If Allah helps you lot, none tin can overcome you lot: If He forsakes y'all, who is there, after that, that tin can assistance you lot? In Allah, and then, Let believers put their trust. 3:160

It does not thing what you do, obey or disobey, the result will be that you will receive what Allah has ordained for you. Y'all can not add to information technology or subtract from information technology. What you do is either benefit yourself with the blessings of obedience or harm yourself with the fruits of your defiance. Nosotros have been told that what is for the states can't miss the states and what is not for u.s.a. can't hit united states of america.

We take to larn to trust that Allah will accept intendance of us when we obey Him and that He wills withdrawal His Neat Mercy when we disobey. Every morning the bird goes out to seek the provision Allah has given him, and every night he comes home with it. Allah has promised us our provision.

Umar Ibin Al Khattab narrated that he heard Allah's Messenger say, "If you were to trust in Allah genuinely, He would requite y'all provision as He does for the birds which go out hungry in the morning and come back full in the evening. Tirmidhi and Ibin Majah (sahih).

Trusting in Allah means that when we hear a command, we obey it. We recognize that nosotros are express and that Allah has no limits. He knows what nosotros do not know. We do not try to explicate abroad the commands of Allah past saying that it is for some other time or another people. We don not say that what Allah has commanded for united states is oppressive. We accept and obey. This is faith and trust.

At that place is much reward in trusting Allah, paradise. In that location is sin in distrusting Him. We need to stop relying on our desires our minds our version of logic and realize that Allah is the ane who knows while we know not. Allah is the Wise, and His judgements are wise by default. Allah is the Just and His verdicts are Just by default. We can not run into everything in every upshot as Allah can, and so why do we insist on believing that our minds tin be trusted earlier or instead of Allah?

I pray to Yous, O Allah, to brand the states trust yous and just you lot. May y'all make us of the Trusting and continue u.s.a. from trusting or worshipping our minds before you. Ameen.

Finally permit'south have full hope in Allah, for verily Allah the All Mighty says:
"Be non deceived by the [uninhibited] move of the disbelievers throughout the land. [It is but] a small-scale enjoyment; then their [final] refuge is Hell, and wretched is the resting place." [Aal-Imraan 196-197]
