Struggles with ups and downs of imaan

Bismillah ..


AsSalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh šŸ’


So I wanted to talk a little about the struggles with the ups and downs of imaan.


We all have those times in our lives when we just feel lazy and out of touch with Allah and there are things we can do to work on it.


One of the major reasons of losing imaan is procrastination.

We all procrastinate , be it with prayers or other things in life that we need to change to be better.


Maybe prayer time has come and you feel lazy and say to yourself, you'll get up in a minute to pray ..but by the time, you keep putting it off and then the next prayer time has come.


Or maybe you are engaging in some activity that is not beneficial to your akhirah.. you keep thinking you have time to change and repent , but the truth is, we don't know when our time will come to be returned to Allah.


So something we need to do is stop procrastinating and discipline ourselves and just go for it, get up and pray, it will get better and easier for you if you really try inshaAllah , pray for Allah to help you.


So here are some things that help me and hopefully they can be of benefit to you as well inshaAllah.


šŸ’›Engage in better activities that will benefit your akhirah and your time on duniyah..

šŸ’›Repent often and think of death often, (this always puts my life back into perspective) because it reminds me that I could be returned to Allah at any given moment and I don't want to face Allah's wrath or see hellfire..


šŸ’›Set an alarm to wake you up for prayers,

make reminders,

šŸ’›get a planner and make plans to to good things or charities etc. ..

šŸ’›Go to the masjid often to be surrounded by a better environment that reminds you of deen.

šŸ’›go for a walk in nature (when the weather permits for it) and just ponder upon the beauty Allah has made and just think , how beautiful will jannah look if he made places on this earth so breathtaking.

šŸ’›help others when you get the chance, always do good deeds(no matter how big or small)

šŸ’›and as angry as ppl might make you (at work or home), don't backbite them. Just remain calm and perhaps recite dhikr to keep from saying anything unnecessary. Remember the angels are recording every little detail we do and say even if it is in secret.


I know this isn't much, but believe me when thinking of your akhirah and just always remembering that everything is being recorded and that we have no clue when the time will come, it does help. InshaAllah it will help you too.


If you want to comment and add on to the list, feel free šŸ˜


I pray all of you are in good hands and that all of you increase in imaan and are having a happy and positive day šŸ’œšŸŒ¹āš˜šŸŒ“šŸšŸƒ
