Faith (imaan) can be swallowed up by the dunya. Our faith always has peaks and is not in a steady state. There are places in the environment that allows us to build our imaan and hiyaat. We should stirve to stay away from environments and actions that decreases imaan and causes us to be consumed up if the dunya which reduces us not only in imaan but also in good deeds.
We must maintain our obligations and complete them in a perfect way; an example would be the 5 Salah’s in its allocated time. The acts of worship which perform must be carried out in a continued fashion to allow us to keep getting closer to Allah (azawajal) until Allah (azawajal) loves us. This requires effort and commitment.
Once we attained the obligations in the most perfect way, further actions may be carried out to increase our imaan:
1) Optional Salah
2) Optional Fasting
3) Reciting the Qur’an (everyday)
The person is then loved by Allah (azawajal) and guided to what Allah (azawajal) wants to the person to hear, see and whatever the person asks for Allah (azawajal) will grant it to him. But more essentially the person receives salvation from his merciful Lord (swa) by entering into eternal bliss and tranquillity of Paradise.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) strived hard to build the Muslim nation, SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah) he (peace be upon him) has succeeded in his struggle to convey the message. 'Say: Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for God, the Cherisher of the Worlds' [Qur'an 6:162]. Don't be a Muslim that has been crippled by the gaps in your knowledge in Islam. Be a part of this beautiful Ummah. Work together and help each other so that we can truly lead a life on the Straight Path.
ALWAYS REMEMBER
'I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, the One, without any partner. And I bear witness that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His servant and His messenger'
