5 easy ways to increase your Imaan (faith)

People fall into sins because of weakness of imaan. It's most important to keep our imaan in check and to increase it. Here are some ways:

1. Praying to your Lord while you are alone, making sincere du'a (supplication) to Him, making dhikr (remembrance) of Allah with your tongue and your heart.

2. Contemplating His Book, for nothing helps the recovery of the heart except the Book of Almighty Allah - the Qur'an. The one who does not find the time to read and understand the book of Allah, his heart becomes hard, so hard that it cannot absorb the shower of guidance that comes from Allah.

3. Regularly performing your obligatory prayers, for Allah guaranteed the one who guards his obligatory prayers that he will neither abandon him, nor humiliate him, and that He will guard him in this world and the next. Once you start performing prayers regulary, you will automatically give up sins, as stated in the Quran verse 29:45.

4. Accompanying and loving the righteous. The Prophet (S) said “A person is likely to follow the faith of his friend, so be careful whom you befriend.” (Tirmidhi) So mix with the rightous muslims, so that you become one of them; and keep away from sinful people to protect yourself from their bad influence and from their evils.

5. Knowing that Allah watches over us, and knowing that He is with you. "..He (Allah) is with them [by His knowledge] wherever they are. Then He will inform them of what they did, on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed Allah is, of all things, Knowing.” (Qur'an 58:7)
