How to Increase Faith (Iman) in Allah And Close to Him
A Muslim already believes in Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) but he didn't has much faith in Allah.The faith of a Muslim increases and he comes close to him when something wrong happens to him and he didn't find any way except him.Except this ,every Muslim should be close to Allah here are some of the ways that i think will be beneficial to everyone to increase faith in Allah but you will have to think about them seriously and implement them in your life.
1.Read Quran
Personally, I believe Quran is the best way to increase faith in Allah.Read Quran and relate it to your life.Just for one time read Quran in way I'm saying.While reading Quran think that it is about you.you will find your present,past and future in it.
I already described about this in my one article which was the story of a girl.I have that will be very helpful to you for reading Quran.https://thesecret070.blogspot.com/2019/12/a-forward-step-after-lot-of-back-steps.html
Trust me Quran is the solution of your every single problem.What we have to do is just to read it carefully with full concentration.
2. Fear of Death and Grave
Our Holy Prophet(PBUH) said "Remember often the destroyer of pleasure and what is destroyer of pleasure? Death." It will destroy everything that you acquired in this world.Being a Muslim, it is our faith that one day we have to die.When you'll have the Fear of death it'll 100% cure your every weakness of Iman.The more you despise this world the more you will be satisfied with what will come in front of your path because what you realize is that one day you're going to be put down into ground and never come back.
When you finally will be at your death you will be asked to have a final look of this world and unfortunately it will be going to be a moment when most of us will realize that this world was so much feeble and we earn nothing to the world hereafter.
One day Allah is going to destroy everything one day.The heavens and the earth ,Allah is going to roll it up and hold it and say where are the kings of this world today.The people who quarrel ,killed each other and did injustice ,Where are You Today??Every son of Adam with regret for every single moment they spend in not remembering Allah.
Be Grateful to Allah
In Chapter 4 of the Quran, God asks us a simple question: “Why should God make you suffer torment if you are thankful and believe in Him? God always rewards gratitude and He knows everything” (Quran, 4:147).This ayat clears everything,every question in our mind.If we are grateful to Allah then there will be stress in our life.It will be full of peace and this is also a method to increase the faith in Allah.
Look at the people around you,I'm not saying you to look at the people superior to you in status,money etc.Look at the people who are in even worse condition than you and be thankful to him for everything he gave you and what could you do if he will take everything from your life?I can bet you there are millions of people who are dreaming to have life like you so show gratitude and he will fulfill your every wish.
Dua
Pray to him (make Dua) in your every problem and you will observe that your problems are getting solved.This will increase your faith in Allah.Also pray to Allah for blessing you with more iman.“When my servants ask you concerning me, (tell them) I am indeed close (to them). I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calls on me” (Quran, 2:186)
Difficulties are a Test
Take your difficulties as a test.Allah only tests those whom he loves.You will notice that the life of prophets were full of problems because all were a test in which Allah was testing them that will they be patient or not and all the prophets always face all the problems and prove that they have complete faith in Allah.If we stop doing something good due to the pain that we have to face in that good work then Allah will never bless us.In Holy Quran Allah asked Mo'min to do sabar (Patient) when he puts them in a trial.
Talk with Him
Increase your Ibadat.Life of every person is very busy but spend 1 hour only with Allah in ibadat per day ,this will benefit you.Allah don't needs out Ibadat actually we need him.
In Ibadat we directly talk to Allah.When you will start talking to Allah trust me , that will be the day when all of our anxiety and depression will come to end.Everybody knows how we can talk to Allah.When we are reading Quran then Allah is talking to us,he is advising us what to do in life,what is good and bad for us and always say your prayer keeping in mind that you are talking to Allah.
Translate every Surat in prayer and you will know that it is a dua that I'm making to Allah.This will help you to increase faith in Allah.
Forgiveness
If someone did you wrong forgive him just for the sake of Allah.If we study about the lives of prophets we Will come to know that they always live their life forgiving others.Non believers always harmed Holy Prophet (PBUH) but he never took revenge.Leave your every single matter on Allah and forgive others this will bring a lot of peace in your life then you will practice this and obviously your faith will become more stronger in Allah.Allah says us to leave our matters on him.As in Surah Al Imran:
"If good touches you, it distresses them; but if harm strikes you, they rejoice at it. And if you are patient and fear Allah, their plot will not harm you at all. Indeed, Allah is encompassing of what they do."
These were the ways by which i think our faith can increase.If you know about others ways to increase your faith you can comment below.
