How to increase Iman (Faith)?

This lecture was given by Shaykh Muhammad Hassam from Egypt and translated by Yahya Ibrahim. It is lecture with many words of wisdom that we can benefit from. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did, and I encourage all of us to implement this amazing lecture into our lives, inshallah. I will assure you most of the hadiths are SaHiH (sound) or Hasan (good). Also the brackets[ ] (not parenthesis) are my comments and the rest are the words of the Shaykh Hassam and Brother Yahya Ibrahim. May Allah give them both of them reward for giving us this knowledge….ameen


The Shaykh first praises Allah (swt) and sending peace and blessings on his Messenger (sws). He makes a Dua in which he says He loves you all for the sake of Allah. As Allah gathered us here in this place for the love of Him May he also gather us in Jannah”

Let us come together in belief for one hour. Divided the lecture into 4 points that he will expand on.

(I) Tajdeed ul Iman – Renewing Iman [loosely translated as faith] and increasing Iman.
(II) Hardening of the Hearts and its cure
(III) What is our End and what are we striving for
(IV) When will we turn to Allah in repentance

(I) Tajdeed ul Iman

[Def] Iman is statement that is made due to the belief in the heart that is shown by the actions of the body --limbs, hands, tongue.

The Ulimah have said “Iman increases when you obey Allah and decreases when you disobey Allah”.

In the Quran Allah (swt) says

“It is He Who sent down tranquility into the hearts of the Believers (mu’minoon), that they may add faith (iman) to their faith; for to Allah belong the Forces of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is Full of Knowledge and Wisdom (48:4)

The important aspect to focus on is that they are believers and yet their belief is increased by Allah’s mercy and tranquility descending upon them. [Believers who obey Allah (swt) their Iman (faith) strengthens because of their strong belief]

Hadith: Hasan

Al-Hakim reported in al-Mustadrak, and al-Tabarani reported in al-Mu’jam:

Prophet (sws) said “Iman decreases or gets worn out just as your clothing becomes worn our (Prophet (sws) makes a Dua) May Allah allow you to renew your iman”

Hadith: Narrated by Ibn Masoud SaHiH

“There is no heart that is not covered by a cloud just like a cloud covers the moon when it is shining, and so it suddenly goes dark, but when it (the cloud) goes away, it shines again [heart].”

The clouds are the sins that may come over ones heart and when the heart is covered it hides the brightness and restricts body from doing good deeds [Effects the actions of body, limbs, tongue]. When the heart becomes hardened then it becomes target for the shaytan, lusts, evil.

Hadith: Muslim [could not find who narrated]

“Fitnah begins to envelope the heart just like how sticks build for shade one on top of the other. The darker it gets the harder the heart will become until one dark spot is placed on the heart. One sin increases many more sins, and then it [darkness] starts to envelope the whole heart. The heart will be so darkened that will never command good and forbid evil (amr-bil-maroof-wa-nahi-anil-munkar). [Respected Shaykh explains the opposite effect]. Prophet (sws) further explains that the heart that does not have darkness it is “free from all of this.”

Now you may be asking how do I renew my Iman. There are many ways. [Names a few]

(1) Being constantly linked to the masajid. Especially praying the 5 daily prayers in the masjid [I am sure for women in her house].

{Gives Simile} “[Doing so] will be like riding the only ship that is found when the dark seas (fitnah) are moving in”

Hadith: Narrated by Abu Hurayrah Prophet (sws) said

“Should I not tell you of something if you do it will remove your sin, extinguish it, and raise you higher and higher in levels” Sahaba asked “What is it Oh Messenger of Allah” He (sws) said “Perform wudu on times of hardship.”

Shaykh Explains Hadith by saying: (a) Make wudu in body parts fully [completely](b)Make wudu with cold water

(2) Another thing one can do is to increase iman is to wait for one salah [prayer] after you prayed for one inside the mosque.

Hadith: SaHiH Bukhari narrated by Abu Hurayrah (ra)

“If there was a river at the door of anyone of you and he took a bath in it five times a day would you notice any dirt on him?" They said, "Not a trace of dirt would be left." The Prophet added, "That is the example of the five prayers with which Allah blots out (annuls) evil deeds."

Hadith: SaHiH Muslim narrated by Abu Hurayrah (ra)

“Five prayers from one Friday prayer to (the next) Friday prayer is an expiation (of the sins committed in between their intervals) if major sins are not committed.”

(3) To renew you’re iman a person must be with those who seek knowledge. Be constantly in the place where knowledge is being dispensed out. For when you are in these gatherings you learn halal, haram, sunnah, bidah, good, evil, Quran tafsir, Hadith. You can only find it in the company of those who are giving out the knowledge.

Abdullah ibn Masoud (ra) said “Seek your heart in three places (check how it is feeling). (1) When you are reciting Quran (how is your heart feeling, (2) State of Dhikr (remembrance of Allah/Prophets/Companions), and (3) When you are alone.
If you do not feel anything in your heart, then Ask Allah to give you a heart for you have not been given one.

Most important thing for a person to seek is knowledge. In Qur’an Allah (swt) does not say to The Messenger (sws) to increase in anything except knowledge. Allah tells the Prophet (sws) to supplicate to me.

“Oh my Lord increase me in knowledge” (20:144)

Hadith: Jadid (good)

Sahaba came to the Prophet (sws) “Messenger of Allah I have come seeking knowledge”
Prophet (sws) said “Marhaba (happiness/glad tidings/welcome) to the one coming to seek knowledge. The one who seeks knowledge is enveloped by the angel’s wings and they ride one on top of the other until they reach the skies of this world”

Hadith: SaHiH Bukhari

“The one who remembers Allah and the one who does not remember Allah is like the difference between the living and the dead”

The Shaykh said the same thing goes for seeking knowledge.


(4) To increase iman you must also “amr-bil-maroof-wa-nahi-anil-munkar” command good and forbid the evil.


(II) Hardening of the Heart

Each Person must make an oath in his heart [or a pledge]. The times we are living in are the times of sins, desires, accumulation of wealth, and forgetting about the day when we are not in this world. The cure to all of this is to have taqwa of Allah or be conscious of Allah/Fear Allah (swt)

[Def] The hardened heart is a heart that has no effect when the Qur’an is recited, or Hadith is narrated, or when an advice is given.

Allah swt says in the Quran :

“Allah has revealed (from time to time) the most beautiful Message in the form of a Book, consistent with itself, (yet) repeating (its teaching in various aspects): the skins of those who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their hearts do soften to the celebration of Allah's praises. Such is the guidance of Allah. He guides therewith whom He pleases, but such as Allah leaves to stray, can have none to guide.(39:23)

Is it not time for those who believe to look at the orders of their Lord so he may cause their hearts to soften. Do not be like those who came before you.

Is it not time for those who believe in Allah to Fear Allah

Poem :

True fear is not to shed tears when remembering Allah.
True fear is when you stop the sins that Allah has prohibited you from;
for you may shed tears and continue sinning.

Proverb- “True fear is not by removing the tear, but it is by removing yourself from that which Allah has prohibited.”

We must strive to study the Qur’an and implanting it in our lives.
If someone was to be struck by a disease he would search the lands for the best surgeons/doctors, and qualified person to treat it. But how many of the people try to cure this major disease of not fearing Allah (swt), and to refrain from taking action to seek the scholars, ulimah, even if our hearts dissipate and die…[very few]

What is our End?

The Shaykh says it is either Hell-fire or paradise. As for the fire it is something we cannot take of handle, and we do not have the strength to burden it.

Ummar ibn Khattab (ra) said

“Fear the fire for its seat is severe its depth is deep and its tools of punishment are made of hooked rods” [sounds like a more severe warning in Arabic]

Allah swt says

“Fear the Fire whose fuel is men and stones,- which is prepared for those who reject Faith”. (2:24)

[(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze), which leaps up over the hearts. It shall be made into a vault over them. (Sealed) In columns outstretched. (104:6-8)]

Hadith: SaHiH Bukhari

Prophet (sws) said “The fire we have in this world is one of 70 parts f the fire of akhira (final world)” The Sahaba said if it was just one it will be enough. Prophet (sws) said “the other 69 are multiplied in amount of heat.”

Food of the people of fire is fire [tree of Zaqqum will boil insides of body] (44:43-46).
Clothing of the people of hell-fire is fire (22:19)
Hot boiling water will be poured over their heads, will be given boiling water to drink, [and faces covered with fire]. (44:48) (44:15) (14:50).
And they will be beaten with rods and hooks.


[should have chills running down your spine by now!!]

Jannah

Hadith: SaHiH Bukhari Muslim narrated by Abu Hurayrah

"The first group (of people) to enter Jannah will be shining like the moon on a full-moon night. Then will come those who follow them who will be like the most shining star in the sky. They will not stand in need of urinating or relieving of nature or of spitting or blowing their noses…. Their wives will be large eyed maidens. All men will be alike in the form of their father `Adam, sixty meters tall.''.

Hadith: SaHiH Muslim; Al-Mughirah bin Shu`bah reported: The messenger said,

"Moses (as) asked his Lord: `Who amongst the inhabitants of Jannah will be the lowest in rank?' He said: `It will be a person who will be admitted into Jannah last of all when all the dwellers of Jannah have entered Jannah. It will be said to him: Enter Jannah. But he will say: O my Lord! How should I enter while the people have settled in their homes and taken their shares? It will be said to him: Will you be satisfied and pleased if you have a kingdom like that of a monarch of the world? He will say: I will be content, my Lord. Allah will say: For you is that, and like that and like that and like that and like that.(Allah increases the amount each time) He will say at the fifth time: I am well pleased, my Lord. Allah will say: It is for you and ten times more like it. You will have whatever your soul desires and whatever your eyes could delight in. He will say: I am well-pleased, my Lord.'

[What is the greatest blessings of Jannah? To see the face of Allah (swt)]

"When the people of Paradise enter Paradise , Allâh will say:

"Do you want anything more?"

They will say, "Have You not made our faces white [i.e. honoured us]? Have You not admitted us to Paradise and saved us from the Fire?" Then the veil will be lifted, and they will never have been given anything more dear to them than looking at their Rabb, may He be Blessed and Exalted."

Arabic Poem:

The pain of my heart will never by removed
until I know I have been granted forgiveness,
grated contentment by Allah,
and till I know I will be with the Prophet (sws) in Jannah.
[Better in Arabic of course]


When will we turn to Allah in repentance

Let us turn to Repentence

Woe to those who are reminded of the repentance and do not take initiative to do it for it is a transgression against himself. All of you must know that death will come unannounced [without an invitation]. No matter how much you have sinned the doors of taubah (repentance) are still open to you. You can always turn back to Allah (swt).

“Allah forgives not that partner should be set up with Him; but He forgives anything else,”(4:48)

Hadith: SaHiH Bukhari narrated by Au Hurayrah

Prophet (sws) said “By He who in his hands holds my soul if you do not commit sins Allah (swt) will replace you with people who do sins and asks for his forgiveness.”

Hadith:

The Prophet (sws) Saw a woman embracing her child and holding him to her bosom, Prophet (sws) asked the Sahabas do you think this mother will ever throw her child into the fire. Sahaba said no. Such will be Allah (swt) will be merciful to his servants for their repentance to Him. Allah is more happy to his servant when they ask for repentance then this women is to her child.

Hadith:

“The believers will be brought closer to Allah in Day of Judgment until it will be a one on one conversation with Allah (swt). Allah takes account of sins one after another. Allah shall shield you with kanafa (hide deed with) from other people. Allah tells the person you know you did this and this. The believer will admit to all the sins. Allah swt will say “I hid it from the people and on this day I shall forgive you.”

Repentance to be accepted must (1) stop committing sin, (2)Regret and be sincere about repenting, (3)Do good deeds and never do the sin again.

[May Allah make us enter his Jannata Firdous and save us from the punishment of the fire….Ameen]

Test Your Heart

Test Your Heart

---

How heavy is the Qur?an upon the immoral fasiq, and how heavy is worship and prayer upon the immoral fasiq hypocrite! The prayer is so heavy upon these hypocrites! You see him sitting and writing in a diary for one, two, or three hours, or standing and talking for one, two, or three hours, and if he stands behind the imam for five minutes, it is as if a mountain has been placed on his chest and heart. The diseases of the hearts, we seek refuge with Allah from them?

Because of this, if you want to test your heart, inspect it and test it out when the Qur?an is being recited - is it heavy upon your heart or not? Test your heart out during worship. Test your heart out when you see the salihin. Test your heart out when you are making your adhkar during the morning hours. Test your heart out when you stand up to pray - do you love to pray? Or is it heavy upon you? If it is heavy upon you, and if worship is heavy upon you, then ask Allah to remove the hardness from your heart and replace it with softness, because this is proof that the jahiliyyah is still entrenched in your heart and soul.

The hardness of the heart?we seek refuge with Allah from the hardness of the hearts. The hardness of the hearts is increased by satisfying the desires - sexual desires, even if by permissible means, and the desire for food, even if by permissible means.

This is why they say that the softness of the heart is achieved in six occasions:


-Praying at night
-Reciting the Qur?an
-Keeping the stomach empty from food
-Befriending the salihin
-Dhikr
-Istighfar during the morning hours



This is why if they felt that their hearts were becoming hard, they would say: ?Lead us to those who will lead us to Allah,? and the best people are those who, when you see them, remind you of Allah?he whose condition and mannerisms remind you of Allah and whose words cause you to increase in your obedience to Allah, and when you see him you remember Allah.

I used to sometimes lead the people in prayer. So, some youth were behind me, as well as an old man who was over 90 and from the Caucasus, a Chechen. After the prayer was over - I love to recite the Qur?an, firstly because I am in prayer, and by Allah, it is too hard on me to only recite two or three verses - and I know that the people behind me of course do not like too much recitation of the Qur?an. Anyway, after I would finish, the youth would sometimes complain to each other, and I would overhear their complaints. However, this man who was over 90 years old would say: ?Increase as much as you can from the Qur?an,? and he was over 90!

So, the issue is one of the soul. Once, one of al-Banna?s students prayed behind me in Ramadan. So, I used to recite one juz? every night. After the prayer, he would ask: ?How much did you recite?? I would reply: ?A juz?.? He said: ?Ya Salam! It went by as if it were a minute,? and in the prayer, you are not allowed to sit down. Regardless, this man was deriving enjoyment from the Qur?an! If he had spent the entire night like this, he would not become bored or exhausted. On the other hand you have a man who - subhan Allah - his heart is hard, so the Qur?an affects his heart by making him more exhausted, and it therefore is not softened by the Qur?an, and no matter how much Qur?an you recite to such a person, he will find it very heavy and hard upon him.

Because of this, from the blessings of Allah upon a person is that He makes faith beloved to him and beautifies it in his heart:

{?And know that, among you there is the Messenger of Allah. If he were to obey you in much of the matter, you would surely be in trouble. But, Allah has endeared faith to you and has beautified it in your hearts, and has made disbelief, wickedness and disobedience hateful to you. These! They are the rightly guided ones.?} [al-Hujurat; 7]

This is a blessing from Allah?with this, the person derives pleasure from this hardship and this roughness. Why? For Allah. He tastes its sweetness?the torture is sweetness when it is for Allah?exhaustion is beloved to his heart if it is for the Knower of the Unseen?

The Dispraise of Hawaa

The Dispraise of Hawaa

Imam ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah rahimahullah

Translated by Dr. Saleh as-Saleh and Published by Dar al-Bukhari


"Allah will give shade to seven, on the Day when there will be no shade but His."

(These seven persons are):

• A just ruler,
• A youth who has been brought up in the worship of Allah, (i.e. worships Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala sincerely from his childhood),
• A man whose heart is attached to the mosques (i.e. he offers the five compulsory Salat (prayers) in the mosques),
• Two persons who love each other only for Allah's Sake and they meet and part in Allah's Cause only,
• A man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for illegal sexual intercourse with her and says: I am afraid of Allah,
• A man who gives charitable gifts so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity), and
• A person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes become flooded with tears."

[Reported by Al-Bukharee and Muslim. The text is that of Al-Bukharee: Saheeh Al-Bukharee, V.1, Hadeeth #629.]

If you contemplate about the seven whom Allah will shade in the shade of His `Arsh wherein there is no shade but His, you will find that they deserved that shade because of their opposition to al-Hawa. Indeed the Imam having authority and power will not be able to establish justice except by opposing his Hawa. And with respect to the youth who prefers the sincere worship of Allah over the urge of his youthfulness, had it not been for the opposition of his Hawa, he would not be able to accomplish this state of worship. As to the person whose heart is attached to the mosques, the thing that drove him to this condition is the opposition of al-Hawa which invites him tot he places of lusts.


Concerning the person who gives charitable gifts secretly so that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given, had it not been for his subduing of his Hawa, he would not have been able to attain this state. And the person who was invited by a charming woman of noble birth (to have illegal sexual intercourse with her), feared Allah and opposed his Hawa. As to the one who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes become flooded with tears for fearing Him, the thing that made him reach this state is the opposing of his Hawa. Consequently, they were saved from being affected by the intense heat of the Al-Mawqif on the Day of Resurrection and the sweating therein. The people (adhering to) Al-Hawa will experience the utmost degree of intense heat and sweating while they are waiting to enter the "Prison of Al-Hawa".


Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala is the One to be petitioned to grant us protection from the Ahwas; (Sing. Hawa) of ourselves which are inclined to evil, and that He makes our Hawa in accordance with what He loves and is acceptable to Him. He has power over all things, and He is most worthy of answering our petition.

THE DWELLERS OF PARADISE AND HELL WILL OBSERVE THIS SCENE [OF THE END OF DEATH]. IF IT WAS STILL POSSIBLE TO DIE, THE DWELLERS OF PARADISE WOULD HAVE DIED OF HAPPINESS AND JOY. IF IT WAS POSSIBLE TO DIE, THE DWELLERS OF HELL WOULD HAVE PREFERRED TO DIE OF GRIEF AND SORROW.” -(Tirmidhi)

| |
| | Over a Billion Rewards in Just a Few Seconds:
| |
| | Narrated ‘Ubaadah that the Messenger of Allah said, “Whoever seeks forgiveness for the believing men and believing women, Allah will write for him a good deed for each believing man and believing woman.”(Tabarrani, classed as hasan by Albani)

| | That Which Shall Have no Equal on the Day of Resurrection:
| | Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said,” Whoever says one hundred times in a day:
| |
| | “La ilaha illal-lah wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahu-l-mulk wa lahu-l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shai’in qadir,”{”None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Alone Who has no partners, to Him belongs Dominion and to Him belong all the Praises, and He has power over all things (i.e. Omnipotent)”,}
| |
| | he will get the same reward as given for manumitting ten slaves; and one hundred good deeds will be written in his accounts, and one hundred sins will be deducted from his accounts, and it (his saying) will be a shield for him from Satan on that day till night, and nobody will be able to do a better deed except the one who does more than he.” (Bukhari,Book #75, Hadith #412)

| | Forgiveness for Sins Even Though They Be like the Foam of the Sea:
| |
| | Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “Whoever says, ‘Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi, {Allah is free from imperfection and His is the praise}. one hundred times a day, will be forgiven all his sins even if they were as much as the foam of the sea. (Bukhari,Book #75, Hadith #414)
| |
| | Four Phrases that are Heavier in the Scales than an Entire Morning of Thikr:
| |
| | The Mother of the Believers, Juwairiyah bint Al-Harith reported that the Prophet came out from my apartment in the morning as I was busy in performing the dawn prayer. He came back in the forenoon and found me sitting there. The Prophet said,”Are you still in the same position as I left you.” I replied in the affirmative. Thereupon the Prophet said, “I recited four phrases three times after I had left you. If these are to be weighed against all you have recited since morning, these will be heavier. These are:
| |
| | Subhan-Allah wa bihamdihi, ‘adada khalqihi, wa rida-a nafsihi, wa zinatah ‘arshihi, wa midada kalimatihi {Allah is free from imperfection and I begin with His praise, as many times as the number of His creatures, in accordance with His Good Pleasure, equal to the ink that may be used in recording the words (for His Praise).” (Muslim)
| |
| | A Phrase that Comes with Rewards in the Millions:

| | On the authority of Abdullah ibn ‘Umar that the Prophet said,”Whoever enters a market and says:
| |
| | ‘Laa ilaaha ill Allah waHdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul mulku wa lahul Hamdu yuHyi wa yumeetu wa huwa Hayyun laa yamoot, bi yadihil khayr, wahuwa ‘alaa kulli shay’in qadeer’
| |
| | {There is nothing worthy of worship but Allah, He is alone without partner, to Him belongs the dominion and the praise, he causes life and death and He is the Living One and will never die. In His Hand is all good, and He is over all things capable.}
| |
| | Allah will write for him a million good deeds, erase a million of his bad deeds and build for him a house in Jannah .”And in another narration, which is also classed as hasan, instead of mentioning that Allah will build a house in Jannah, it states,”and he will be raised one million levels.” {Tirmidhi,classed as Hasan by Albani}.

| | Beautiful Supplication for Forgiveness:
| |
| | Shaddad bin Aus (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, “The best supplication for seeking forgiveness (Syed-ul-Istighfar) is to say: `Allahumma Anta Rabbi, la ilaha illa Anta, khalaqtani wa ana `abduka, wa ana `ala `ahdika wa wa`dika mastata`tu, a`udhu bika min sharri ma sana`tu, abu‘u laka bini`matika `alayya, wa abu‘u bidhanbi faghfir li, fa innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa Anta.
| |
| | (O Allah! You are my Rubb. There is no true god except You. You have created me, and I am Your slave, and I hold to Your Covenant as far as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge the favours that You have bestowed upon me, and I confess my sins. Pardon me, for none but You has the power to pardon).’
| |
| | He who supplicates in these terms during the day with firm belief in it and dies on the same day (before the evening), he will be one of the dwellers of Jannah; and if anyone supplicates in these terms during the night with firm belief in it and dies before the morning, he will be one of the dwellers of Jannah.”
