LISTED BELOW ARE WAYS TO INCREASE OUR EMAAN:
1) Recitation and pondering on the meanings of the Quraan. Tranquility then descends and our heart becomes soft. To get optimum benefit, remind ourselves that Allah is speaking to us. People are described in different categories in the Quraan; think in which of them do we find ourselves
2)Realise the greatness of Allah. Everything is under his control. There are signs in everything we see that points us to his greatness. Everythings happen according to his permission. Allah keeps track and looks after everything, even a black ant on a blact rock ina dark moonless night.
3) To make an effort to gain knowledge, at least the basic things in daily life e.g. how to make the wudu properly. To know the meaning behind Allah's name and attributes. People who have taqwah are those who have knowledge.
4) To attend gatherings where Allah is remembered. In such gatherings we are surrounded by angels.
5) We have to increase our good deeds. One good deed leads to another good deed. Someone who gives charity, Allah will make way for him or her to do good deeds easy for that person. Good deeds must be done continuously, not in spurts.
6) We must fear a miserable end of our life; the rememderance of death is the destroyer of pleasures
7) To remember the different levels of akhirah, for instance when we are put in our graves, when we are jugded, whether we are in paradise or hell.
8) Make duah, realise that we need Allah. Be humble. Not to have much hope for wordly things in this life
9) Our love for Subhanahu Wa Ta'Allah must be shown in actons. We must hope Allah will accept our prayers, and be in constant fear that we do wrong. At night before going to sleep, we must think what good did we do during the day.
10) Realise the effects of sins and disobediance- ones imaan is increased with good deeds and our imaan is decreased by bad deeds. Everything that happens is because Allah wanted it. When calamity befalls us- it is also from Allah. It is a direct result of our disobediance to Allah.
