THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Sabt, 4th day of SAFAR 1440, (Saturday 13th October, 2018). PROTECTION OF OUR EEMAAN (Faith). BismilLaahir Rahmaanil Raheem. Scholars of Islaam (such as Ibn al-Qayyim, Ibn Taymiyyah etc.) have said based on Quran, Sunnah and consensus of all other scholars that: “Belief is a statement of the tongue, sincerity of the heart and actions of the limbs. It increases with the increase of good deeds and decreases due to decreases in good deeds. So it will increase and decrease due to that (one’s deeds). Faith is not complete by the statement of the tongue except with actions. Both statement of the tongue and actions are not complete except with intention (purely for Allah sake). Statement of the tongue, actions and intentions are not complete unless they are in accordance with the Quran and sunnah.” This is simple formula but that's the foundation of good faith. Let's strive to protect our EEMAAN by applying these simple formula in our daily ways of life. Don't just follow ignorantly, ask yourself if your ways of life is in accordance with the above simple formula. Read through again and again and let's implement that in all our actions on daily basis. Always remember that, our struggles for wealth, power, children etc will become useless if our ways of life goes not as ALLAH instructed. Remember whatever you die and leave behind is not yours anymore but you will be accountable to ALLAH as to how you acquired. Isn't this scary? Let's study our faith well and implement it in our ways of life. May ALLAH keeps guiding us till Jannat becomes our abode. Aameen.
