💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Often our level of faith/Imaan can fluctuate.
Sometimes it's up and we're in a motivated state,
Energized to do many good deeds for Allah's sake.
Other times it goes down, and we feel lost and dismayed.
~*~
When our faith/Imaan level would reach the lowest point,
When it reaches rock bottom and life just disappoints,
We get depressed or dependent on money and coins,
Eager to amass worldly joys, easily annoyed.
~*~
What cause our level of faith/Imaan to drop include:
Forgetting Allah, delaying Salah, less Sujood,
Gossiping with friends who tell lies and lack good virtues,
Impatience, and wasting time on things without value.
~*~
The following, when done a lot, can strengthen our faith:
Striving for Allah's Love, saying Dhikr night and day,
Reciting from the Qur'an daily at least one page,
Praying Tahajjud at night when most are not awake,
Being grateful to Allah for blessings that He gave,
~*~
Having worthwhile talks with Muslims who enjoy learning,
Reading about Islam and notes on self-improvement,
Showing kindness to animals, orphans and children,
Working hard for good results on the Day of Judgment,
~*~
Staying content with what Allah chose and predestined,
Not comparing our tests to friends' examinations,
Refusing to carry envy, pride and suspicion,
Reminding ourselves we can die at any moment.
~*~
May Allah the Most Kind keep our faith/Imaan strengthened,
Forgive us and take us when we're ready to meet Him,
Smiling and deserving of Jannah's entrance. Ameen.
Maintain these for strong Imaan: Gratitude and patience.

📖 Anas Ibn Malik RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The faith of a servant is not upright until his heart is upright, and his heart is not upright until his tongue is upright. A man will not enter Paradise if his neighbor is not secure from his evil."

Grade: Hasan (Fair) according to Al-Albani
📖 Abu Ja’far RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: ‘Umayr Ibn Habib RadhiAllahu 'anhu said, “Faith increases and decreases.” It was said, “How does it increase and decrease?” ‘Umayr said, “If we remember our Rabb (Allah) and fear Him, it will increase. If we are heedless and we forget, and we waste our time, it will decrease.”
