When your iman is low, this is what I do

[Wolfn]

Salaams.

Every now and then, I feel overwhelmed by Islam and my iman decreases drastically.

Here's what I do:

whenever you feel overwhelmed, just say the only thing that matters is "There is no god but Allah (SWT), and the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is His Messanger". That's the only thing that matters, so whenever I feel overwhelmed and think about leaving Islam (Astaghfirullah), just say that you don't have to leave Islam and the only thing that matters is that you believe in Allah (SWT) and that Muhammad (SAW) was His Messanger.

Once you feel confident with that, then you start working back up, praying salaat/reading Qu'ran/going to masjid/etc.

[As-Sideeq]

Wa alaikum salaam wa rahmatullah.

Jazakallah khayran for the advice.

If one wants to safeguard his or her faith, Allaah has sent this in the Quran:
رَبَّنَا لاَ تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ
, 'Rabana la tuzikh qulubana ba'da izth hadaina wa hablana miladunka rahma, Inaka antal Wahab.'

Our lord!" (they say), "Let not our hearts deviate now after Thou hast guided us, but grant us mercy from Thine own Presence; for Thou art the Grantor of bounties without measure.
( سورة آل عمران , Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #8)

Say this and then by the will of Allaah, your faith shall be protected.

[Ibrahim70]

So true. I recite the Shahada and suddenly my Iman has grown ten-fold!

Allahu Akbar :coolbro:
