Assalam alaikum My beloved sisters & brothers in Islam.
I hope y’all in good health and faith. I know it’s been like couple of months since I write here and finally Alhamdulillah for this opportunity to write again. To cut things short. What I wanted to talk about is the struggle we have with our iman. This is a part of the human nature, Shaytan doesn’t rest or give up. He always has his tactics on how to trap you & me. Some days your iman will be high while other days it will be low. And this is very okay. What is not okay is when you let yourself fall into the trap of shaytan and felt your sins are too many to be forgiven by Allah(S.W.T).
From what I think is, once you’re experiencing low iman. All you need at that moment is to have a conversation with Allah, that’s all you really need. How does one have conversation with Allah?
This is done by:
•Sallah: if you don’t hold unto your prayers wallahi your life will be in darkness and that darkness is sins.
I can’t vividly recall the source but I came across this quote
“If you want Allah to talk to you, recite the Qur’an. If you want to talk to Allah, then you pray”
You deep this quote, you will realize how good our lives will be if we consistently turn back to Allah during our lows and highs. What I personally found very beneficial when experiencing my lows is Sallah. It will light up things right away. So hold unto your prayers no matter the situation. Letting go of your sallah will cut that connection between you and Allah (S.W.T) and without Allah your life will be in a kind of situation that isn’t appealing to you. I just want you to know that if you’re experiencing that low of iman, it doesn’t mean you’re the only one or your sins are so much to not seek for forgiveness of Allah. This also draws my attention to the most vital part of this conversation and that is :
•Seeking for beneficial knowledge: Knowledge is a light π‘ and to worship Allah the right way is by seeking for knowledge on how to worship him.
[The Prophet (PBUH) said: “Seeking Knowledge is an obligation on every Muslim.” (Ibn Majah) ]
From this Hadith, it is made obligatory upon all Muslims to seek for knowledge. Seeking for beneficial knowledge during this period is also an iman booster. It will guide you through the way and make you understand more on your religion and how to worship Allah.
I initially intended to make this short so and in forms of series. I will stop here in sha Allah. Till next time.
Ma’assalam π€.
Maa sha Allah. Jazakillahu khayr sis❤
