What helps you maintain a strong faith (iimaan)?

[Koronto69]

Do you feel your iimaan weakening and weakening, seeming almost to be spiraling out of control, with you unable to do much about it?

How do you stop yourself from going off the cliff?

How does one reconcile between concrete scientific evidence and religious rulings/claims that are in stark opposition to one another?

How do you stop the questions in your head?

Shit is beginning to bug me walahi.

[Shirib]

Damn it, I thought u were gonna tell us how to keep a strong imaan

But I would think prayer and fasting would help build ones imaan

[*Nobleman*]

Iman is like a cycle, goes up and down bro. Certain times you feel great, other times you dont.

But I find the times when my Iman is higher is when i'm either in the masjid or with good practicing freinds. Also obviously worship helps with Iman.

[Shirib]

Also Koronto, I think its important to remember that Islam is perfect, the Quran is perfect it is words of Allah.

Science on the other hand, can u really say it is concrete? I mean not too long ago scientists believed that the world was flat, that u could fall off of it, and that the earth was the center of the universe.

Always keep the belief that if there is something in Islam that u cannot comprehend, it is due to the fact that u are mere human with a small brain, while Allah is supreme, and knows all things

[AbdiWahab252]

Too much education is bad for your imaan

That's true bro, whenever you are around people who are steadfast in their diin, I see that I also become better in my diin

By never combining Religion and Science : never look into Science to prove Religion and of course never refer to Religious books for scientific knowledge!

Religion is not Science, Religion is not a recipe to go to Paradise!!
Religion is SPIRITUALITY, its Love of God and selfless Good Action...

That is wat my Suufii ancestors used to teach in the blessed city of Harar and the no less blessed area surrounding it

Get in contact with Authentic Islamic Ulema's, and don't be afraid to ask your questions because you already believe that Islam is wrong on the issue.

Shirib,

Bareento has made a very serious point. Too often people get caught up in the Orthodox practices of religion without understanding the essence of religion: love of God & your fellow man, forgiveness, compassion etc.

Today, people are a lot more focused on practices and rituals rather than the substance.

Too much education is bad for your imaan

My iimaan hasn't lessened at all. It's increased.

In that case all your actions are not selfless, u r gambling or better said u r investing ...

Whereas when I pray, and do Good deeds its to get closer to the Allmighty, I dont really care if he gives me this or that or send me to Hell...
This is the true Iman and Submitting to God
