What Increases And Lessens Iman (piety)? by Lukgaf(m): 3:50pm On Mar 12, 2020 |
Iman (faith) is the AFFIRMATION OF THE HEART, the UTTERANCE OF THE TONGUE, and the ACTIONS OF THE LIMBS. What increases Iman can be grouped into 3: 1. To know Allah, the Most High by His Names and Attributes; for the more a person increases his knowledge of Allah and His Names and Attributes, the more his faith increases. This is why one finds the scholars who have greater knowledge of Allah’s Names and Attributes than others, they are stronger in faith in this regard 2. Reflecting upon Allah’s Universal and Legislative Signs, because the more a person looks at the Universal Signs i.e. (Allah’s) creation, his faith increases. Dhariyah 20-21 3. Plenitude of good deeds, for the more a person increases his virtuous deeds, the more his faith increases thereby, whether these deeds are verbal or practical; for Allah’s Dhikr (remembrance) increases the faith quantitatively and qualitatively; and prayer, fasting and Hajj, all these (practical deeds) also increase the faith quantitatively and qualitatively. As for the causes that lessen the Iman, we have the followings; 1. Ignorance of Allah’s Names and Attributes causes the faith to diminish, because when a person’s knowledge of Allah’s Names and Attributes is deficient, his faith will also be deficient. 2. Refraining from reflecting upon Allah’s Signs, both Universal and Legislative, as this causes the decrease of faith, or at least, causes it to be stationary with no increase. 3. Committing acts of disobedience, because acts of disobedience have detrimental effect on the heart and upon the faith. “The adulterer is not a believer while he commits adultery…” Bukhari and Muslim 4. The fourth cause of decrease in faith is abandoning the acts of obedience. If the act of obedience is obligatory, and one abandons it without lawful excuse, then that is a deficiency (in faith) for which he is blameworthy and deserves punishment. On the other hand, if the act of obedience is non-obligatory, or it is obligatory but he abandoned it with a valid excuse, then it is a deficiency for which he is not rebuked, nor deserves punishment. This is why the Prophet declared that a woman is deficient in her intelligence and in her religion; and he explained that the cause of deficiency in her religion is because when she has her menstrual period, she does not pray nor fast. Even though she is not held blameworthy for abandoning prayer and fasting at the time of menstruation – she is in fact commanded to abandon them -, but due to the loss of deeds which a man performs, she becomes deficient compared to him in this respect. Culled from Fatawa arkanul islam by Sheik Uthaymeen) My brothers and sisters, check yourself! You only feel in the sky when you listen to music (Obesere, Davido, Pasuma, Osupa, Olamide, …) SUBHANALLAH! but when they play Quran, you say - off it! Don’t let me commit sin…and you think you’re not committing sins for listening to music?! If Islamic gathering is not mixed with music you will be sleeping… guy that lecture is boring! SUBHANALLAH! You pray every day but soothsayers/fortune-tellers are your second God that determine your way of life… SUBHANALLAH! Are you practising Islam that Prophet Muhammad brought?! Increase your Iman with good deeds now, death is inevitable. A moment can make someone become a dweller of Hell fire and this moment can make you dweller of Paradise. May Allah make good deeds easy for us as we strive to practice true teachings of Islam. Source: Fiqh Class Foundation 13 Likes 2 Shares |

Meedon: The prophesy of the scripture must be fulfilled. It will become worse, and then the Antichrist will manifest. (the false man of Peace) His reign will be the worst of the worst in human's entire history of existence. And his mark is 666. He will rule the world (The One World Government.)

Meedon: Is that your proof? That your religion is https://thereligionofpeace.com/ Okay. My God is a God of Miracles, Signs and Wonders. He did miracles with every prophet in the Bible. From Moses to Jesus Christ, they did great miracles to prove God. And the apostles of Jesus did great miracles too. And today the disciples of Jesus do great miracles. COME AND SEE |

mrZENographer:I believe in jesus (pbuh), I believe he healed the leper, he gave life to the dead and he healed the sick people with Allahs permission. I believe he was born miraculously and I believe he will come back during the end times too. Lol you said someone healed a cripple begger, what happened to quobams he has been blind from birth or is he not a believer? |

Having a dog reduces your Qirat Narrated By Abu Huraira Dogs who have been described as man's best friend are hated by Muhammad because the jinn c erroneously called Gabriel by Muslims who was bringing Quranic revelation to Muhammad was afraid of dogs. Is it not only evil spirits that are afraid of dogs? Narrated By Salim's father Why was "Gabriel" afraid of dogs? That was because Gabriel was a typical jinn, a huge gigantic jinn that covered the whole horizon and as expected the dogs in Muhammad's house would have barked at it and sent it away. Narrated By Masruq So the command that Muslims shouldn't keep dogs at home and the threat that they would lose qirats daily if they do so was given by Muhammad in order for dogs not to send his Jinn away. And even till date, all alfas that commune with Jinns don't keep dogs at home. |

Gartol: Yes my Pastor prayed in the name of Jesus and the cripple started walking. You believe Jesus did great miracles. So did the Jews who crucified him for claiming to be the only Begotten Son of God. |

mrZENographer:I asked you a simple question why hasn't quobams been healed. You never gave me an answer? Secondly you are talking about miracles should I tell you the greatest living miracle up to this moment? A living miracle you yourself can testify to? THE Glorious Quran. No religion scripture, I repeat no religion scripture has remained in it's pure form for as long as 1400 years up till this moment 2 Likes |

mrZENographer:yes I believed jesus(pbuh) did miracles but with the permission of God. I am not a jew I am a Muslim. And the Quran is very clear about his crucifixion. Allah said in the Glorious Quran: In suratul Nisa chapter 4 verse 157: They killed him not neither was he crucified, it was only made to appear so. The Jews didn't believe in christ, so when he did miracles in God's name they said he was an imposter, that he was a fake christ. We muslims believe in him. Infact you are not a Muslim if you do not believe in jesus and his miracles |
Re: What Increases And Lessens Iman (piety)? by mrZENographer: 11:26am On Mar 13, 2020 |
Gartol: How can you believe a prophet who did no miracles. But rather slept with many women and little girl and looted many homes? This Jesus and his apostles did not. By their fruits you shall know them. The Jews actually belived Jesus was a great prophet. One of several verses. Matthew 16:13 "13When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14And they said, Some say that you are John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15He saith unto them, But whom say yes that I am? 1 Like |
