Did you ever feel sad, worried, or far from Allah? That’s okay! Sometimes, our Iman (faith) goes up and down. But the good news is, we can always bring it back up! Allah loves us and always gives us ways to feel closer to Him.
Allah tells us in the Qur’an:
📖 “And We will surely test you with fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives, and fruits, but give glad tidings to those who are patient.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:155)
This means that when life feels hard, we should stay strong and trust Allah!
Let’s learn how to strengthen Iman during difficult times!
Why Does Our Iman Get Weak?
💔 We Forget to Pray – Salah keeps us close to Allah. When we miss it, we feel lost.
📱 Too Much Distraction – Spending too much time on TV, games, or social media can make us forget Allah.
👎 Bad Company – If we are around people who don’t remind us of Allah, our Iman can go down.
😞 Hard Times in Life – Sometimes, when we face problems, we feel like giving up.
But don’t worry! We can make our faith strong again! Let’s learn how!
How to Make Our Iman Strong Again?
🕌 1. Pray Salah on Time
Salah is like food for our soul. It keeps our heart full of light and peace.
📖 The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
🕊 “The best deed in Islam is to pray Salah on time.” (Sahih Bukhari)
💡 Tip: Set an alarm for Salah and make it your top priority!
📖 2. Read the Qur’an Every Day
The Qur’an is a special message from Allah just for us. Even one verse a day fills our heart with Iman!
📖 Allah says:
“Indeed, in the remembrance of Allah, hearts find peace.” (Surah Ar-Ra’d 13:28)
💡 Tip: Keep a small Qur’an with you and read a few verses daily.
🗣 3. Say Dhikr (Remember Allah Often)
Did you know that just by saying SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, and Allahu Akbar, we earn rewards and feel closer to Allah?
📖 The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
🕊 “The best words are: SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, and Allahu Akbar.” (Sunan At-Tirmidhi)
💡 Tip: Say these words when walking, waiting, or before sleeping.
🤲 4. Make Dua – Talk to Allah
Dua is a secret conversation with Allah. You can ask Him for anything—happiness, guidance, and strength.
📖 Allah says:
“Call upon Me; I will respond to you.” (Surah Ghafir 40:60)
💡 Tip: Every night before sleeping, make a small dua from your heart.
🚫 5. Stay Away from Bad Influences
Our friends and environment affect our faith. If we are around people who do bad things, our Iman can get weaker.
📖 The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
🕊 “A person follows the religion of his close friend.” (Sunan Abu Dawood)
💡 Tip: Choose friends who remind you of Allah and good deeds.
💖 6. Be Grateful – Say Alhamdulillah!
Being thankful makes us love Allah more. Even when things are hard, we should remember the blessings we have.
📖 Allah says:
“If you are grateful, I will give you more.” (Surah Ibrahim 14:7)
💡 Tip: Start a gratitude journal—write 3 things you are thankful for every day!
🌟 7. Learn About the Prophets
The Prophets (peace be upon them) also went through tough times. But they never lost faith in Allah!
📖 Allah says:
“Indeed, in the stories of the Prophets, there are lessons for those who understand.” (Surah Yusuf 12:111)
💡 Tip: Read the story of Prophet Yunus (AS)—he made dua in the belly of the whale, and Allah saved him!
💪 8. Trust Allah’s Plan (Have Sabr)
Life is full of ups and downs, but Allah knows what is best for us.
📖 The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
🕊 “Whoever is patient, Allah will reward him with something better.” (Sahih Bukhari)
💡 Tip: When something bad happens, say Alhamdulillah and trust that Allah has a better plan for you!
