Imaan

Bismi-llahi ar-rahmani ar-rahimi, In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. And I beg for forgiveness from Allah for whatever sin that I have done in the past and to show me the right path. Ameen.

Assalamualaikum / Greetings dear readers.

I want to share a few points about Imaan insya'Allah.

Imaan = Belief

For every muslim, we believe in Laa ila ha ill-Allah Muhammad rasulullah (SAW)

It is easy to say this syahadah, just need less than 5 seconds. However, we don't really venture into the meaning of it.

No God but Allah, Muhammad (SAW) is the messenger of Allah.

We admit this by saying, but we don't bring it into our hearts. Today's challenge is to bring that Kalimah into our hearts, not mouth.

No God but Allah means that we believe, surrender and obey to the Rabb. No questions asked. When we are ordered to pray, WE MUST.

Muhammad (SAW) messenger of Allah. Without him, we won't be holding the Quran in our hands right now. Quran is in fact, Rasulullah SAW. Because without his actions, no word of Allah will be sent down to earth and reach us today.

The first of all things to do as a muslim is to strengthen the Imaan. We always try to stay away from bad things, but never pray. But with prayers itself, all bad things will go away insya'Allah.

When we question about Islam, we're questioning about Allah. Who are we to question Allah? He is not our enemy or friend who gives orders without telling why. When we don't pray, it means we're not strong. that means we don't believe. When we don't believe, it means that we push away Islam. That means we're pushing Allah away from us. Nauzubillah.

Take this scenario. We go to school. Because we believe that in school, we'll learn a lot of things that will benefit us eg during work. However, we wear the school uniform. Does that have anything to do with our salary in the future? Why do wear uniform then?

It is because we believe in the education in school, thus whatever the school tells us to do, we follow the rules. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. NO RESEARCH DONE. I invite you to relate this scenario to Islam, Imaan and Allah.

2nd scenario:

But that education comes handy in around 5-10 years' time, not immediately. But we believe that in that 5-10 yrs time, we will reap the benefits. Allah had promised us that if we do good deeds like SOLAAT especially, we have been promised the rewards. Not only in the thereafter, but also in the current world. Are we making any sense if we don't follow the orders of Allah but instead, follow rules that the world (which is temporary) has set for us?


If there's any error, I'm open for rectification. None is perfect as perfection only belongs to Allah (God Almighty). All good things come from Allah and all the bad things are from my side and the side of Shaiytan the accursed.
