3 Ways to Increase Your Faith (Iman) in Islam
Want to strengthen your faith? Here are three effective ways:
- Learn about Allah’s names and attributes. The more you know, the stronger your faith will be. Scholars who study Allah’s names and attributes tend to have a deeper faith.
- Reflect on Allah’s signs in the universe and in Islamic teachings (like Quranic verses and the Prophet’s miracles). Contemplating these signs can boost your faith. Allah says in the Quran, “Look at the signs on earth and within yourselves. Will you not see the truth?” (Surah Al-Dhariyat, 20-21)
- Perform acts of worship regularly, such as:
- Reciting dhikr (prayers)
- Performing prayer, fasting, and Hajj
