Recognize if your Imaan is Increasing or Decreasing

Recognize if your Imaan is Increasing or Decreasing
By Shaykh Muhammad Amaan Al Jaami

Abu Dhar (radhi Allaahu anhu) said: Whoever does not know that his Imaan increases and decreases is not a person of understanding. Rather it is from understanding in the religion to notice if your Imaan is increasing or decreasing.

If you find yourself devoted to Allah, desiring that which is with Allah, and energetic in acts of worship, loving the righteous people and the gatherings of knowledge, this is an indication and a sign of your strong Imaan and your increase in Imaan.

And if you find yourself turning away and lazy, having no desire to recite the Book of Allah and remember Allah; and you find yourself always lagging behind in some acts worship and not desiring that which is with Allah, this is proof of your deficiency in Imaan. Therefore remedy and rectify yourself.

Translated by Rasheed ibn Estes Barbee

Strive today in implementing Tawheed,
since there is nothing that will deliver you to Allaah except Tawheed.
Also, be eager in fulfilling its rights, 
since there is nothing that can save you from the fire except Tawheed.
Ibn Rajab – ‘Kalimat ul-Ikhlaas’ 54
