Imaan (Faith)

 

 

 

Herez a short summary of wat is faith in Islam and its characteristics.

Foundation for Imaan is belief in Allah,His Books,His Prophets,His angels,The day of Judgement and Al Qadr(Destiny)
> Imaan increases and decreases according to our actions and intentions
> For a strong Imaan balance in LOVE, HOPE AND FEAR OF ALLAH is required
> “Call upon Him in Fear and Hope”(Al Quran,Surah Ar’af:56)
> Say you ‘If your fathers, and your sons and your brothers and your wives and your clan and the wealth of your earning and the trade of which you fear loss and the houses of your choice, these things are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger and the struggling in His path, then wait till Allah brings His Command. And Allah guides not the disobedients.(Al Quran,Surah Tauba:24)
> Ways to increase ur Imaan

 

# Observing Allah’s Commands
#Total and Detailed Actions
#Developing love and fear of Allah
#Remembrance of Allah
#Contemplate the words of Allah and the Prophet (pbuh) while reading
Quran and Hadith
#Remember death which is inevitable
#Doing good deeds openly and secretly
# Self analysis every night before going to sleep
# ask forgiveness for ur sins because ALLAH IS OFT FORGIVING AND MOST
MERCIFUL.

Every person has fluctuations in his/her Imaan but unless we ponder
upon Quran and Hadith and keep ourselves updated with what our Rabb
wants from us , how He wants us to worship him? How can we seek His
Pleasure?…we will never know our sole purpose in this World,ie.,to
worshipALLAH…According to a Hadith of Prophet (pbuh),” When u see
something wrong stop it by ur hands(action), or atleast by
words(tongue) if not atleast consider it wrong in ur heart and this is
the weakest Imaan..
Now the Que arises Which category do we belong to Highest?Middle?
Weakest? OR None of the above?????
In our present society we see many things going wrong before our eyes
and instead of stopping it we dont even feel it wrong at our
hearts….we take it for granted.”Oh yeh to aajkal common
hai …chalta hai … aajkal sab baaton par kaun amal karega…its
better we practise first and then we’ll stop others”….these r some
of the excuses we have with our muslim ummah when asked about dawah or
islaah.
It is the responsibility of every muslim to know, understand and
practise Islam…We just cant wait till some one comes and enquires
something about Islam, instead we should learn to create an
opportunity from any situation  we come across for propagating dawah
and islaah by wisdom ,insha allah.
May Allah accept our intentions and works for the sake of Islam and
May Allah help,protect and save all muslims from the oppression of the
Kuffaar. Ameen.
