00:00next question assalamualaikum warahmatullahi barakatuh

00:08sir i am a student of bhc final year i am from andhra pradesh india i am from a hindu family

00:20alhamdulillah i recently reverted into a muslim my question is how one can know

00:28whether his iman is strong or weak and what steps should be taken in improving my iman

00:36and if one who listens about the punishment of hellfire and not feeling afraid of it

00:44but worries about other things what is the strength of his iman the question poses that how will a

00:52person this question posed by revert and he's asking that how will a person come to know

00:56whether his iman is strong or weak and what steps should be taken to improve the iman

01:02and the last part is that if a person hears and knows about the punishment hellfire and yet he's

01:10not worried about that and worried about the worldly things then what is his status regarding

01:16the first part of the question that how does one come to know that his iman is strong a person when

01:23he keeps on following the teachings of quran and say hadith the more he follows he realizes that

01:29his iman is strong for example when he goes out a muslima knows that she should wear the hijab the

01:36outside world may not be doing hijab she's doing hijab you know that iman is strong that we know that

01:40people do wrong things they cheat you're not cheating people tell lies you don't lie you're honest and

01:48the more you follow the quran and say hadith you come to know iman is strong how do you increase your

01:55iman one of the best way to increase the iman is to read the translation of the quran read the

02:01translation of the hadith of the beloved prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam read the sira of the prophet

02:06muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam read the sira of the khalfa rashidini of the sahabas when you look at the

02:13lifestyle you are empowered you realize that how strong they were in iman and how weak we are in

02:21iman so if you read the stories of the sahabas your iman increases i'd like to give you one incidence that

02:31once you're the person who comes and tells the prophet that the neighbor that is there is not

02:38allowing to build the boundary wall of the house because the street is in between so the prophet

02:47tells the neighbor that if you give that one tree and allow him to build his boundary wall i will give

02:56you a tree in jannah and refuses he doesn't agree so when one of the sahaba abu darda he hears about this

03:06he goes and asks the prophet that if i get that tree and see to it give it to him will i get a tree in

03:13jannah the prophet said yes why not so he goes and tells that neighbor that do you know who i am

03:21he said no he says i am abu darda who owns the biggest and the most precious garden of dates in

03:30madina it is of course who does not know you then he says that will you give me this tree which is

03:38coming in between your neighbor boundary wall and for that in exchange of that tree i will give you my

03:46complete garden of dates which is the best in madina the man says are you crazy for my one tree

03:53you will give me the full garden which is the best in madina he says yes and the person agrees abu darda

04:00comes back home and tells his wife that today i have done a great deal an excellent deal the wife asks

04:10what did you do so he narrates the story about the tree and he tells his wife that i bought that tree

04:17tree that will give us a tree in jannah in exchange for the full garden that we have in madina so the

04:25wife says ah what excellent deal in today's world if suppose you have such a big garden and you want

04:32to buy the tree today's wife will tell you you're a fool why did you give the full garden you would have

04:38given 25 percent of the garden or you should have given 50 percent of the garden and surely that man would

04:44have agreed even if you give 25 percent of the garden you would have given there one tree but look at the

04:51iman the wife says ah what a deal that means both of them the husband and wife they didn't want even

04:59and out of doubt that the person will refuse because they wanted jannah and and the hadith tells us that

05:07for the rest of the life they lived a poor life but they lived a very happy life because they know that

05:13the prophet had promised them paradise so if we hear the stories of the sahabat how they lived how

05:19they sacrificed how they helped each other their iman increases and it gives us a feeling that what

05:26we are doing is nothing nothing and we know that at the time of jihad when the prophet told the sahabat

05:33that what you want you contribute and hadat umar mella be pleased with him comes and he gives the large

05:39wealth to the prophet and the prophet asks him that what have you left home so he says i've left half

05:46my wealth at home and half i'm giving charity for jihad after that later on has abu bakar may allah be

05:54pleased as he comes and he gives his wealth to the prophet and the prophet asks him what have you left home

06:01so he said i have given all my wealth and i've left allah and his rasul at home to take care of us

06:10imagine what iman imagine giving his complete wealth in the way of allah subhanahu ta'ala when you hear

06:16these stories it it increases our iman it makes us feel so small that we can't even contribute to the cause

06:25of allah subhanahu ta'ala we can't even give charity if you read the lifestyle the sida of the sahaba

06:32of the prophets we are nowhere so if you read the story the iman increases if you read the quran

06:38the translation iman increases and you come close to allah subhanahu ta'ala your ibadah increases your

06:46salah increases your song increases your fasting your charity your zakat all these things

06:53is it these are signs and when do you realize that iman is increased you have peace of mind

07:01wealth cannot buy peace of mind when you have peace of mind that mashallah inshallah we are following

07:07allah and his rasul and inshallah we will be raised in jannah with allah and his rasul you know as the

07:13prophet said that you will be raised with the people who you love so that time the sahaba was so happy

07:19they said we may not be good indeed they were the best after the ambiyas the people who are the most

07:26blessed and the closest to allah subhanahu ta'ala are the sahabas among the sahabas the khulfarash is the

07:31number one among the khulfarash is hadhat abu bakar may Allah will be pleased with him he is number one

07:36then hadhat umar if you hear these stories and the lifestyle of the prophet and the sahabas you realize

07:44that we are living in an air condition we have all the all the facility and yet we crib yet we don't

07:50follow the sunnah yet we don't follow the thing that we're supposed to do and if you read how did

07:57the the ansar the people of madina the sahabas of madina helped the sahabas the the muhajir who

08:07migrated from mecca to madina and the stories it's phenomenal so the more you read the seerah

08:14and of the prophet of the sahabas the iman will increase your practice will increase and inshallah

08:21your peace of mind will increase so that you are more secured that allah will give you the best in this

08:26world as well as the akhira hope that's a good regarding the last part of the question that

08:31what if you hear the punishment in the hellfire and yet you're bothered about the worldly things

08:36what is the state of iman even after hearing about the punishments of the hellfire if you do not follow

08:45the quran and the sai hadith and yet if you continue worrying about the worldly things that means that

08:50iman is weak that iman is weak i told you how iman is strong but if you hear if the two things that

08:57makes your iman strong is when you hear about the punishment you fear it so that's the reason when you

09:03fear the punishment of the of the year after of the hellfire the present life for you the difficulties

09:11are nothing they're peanuts so if after hearing the punishments of the hellfire or after hearing the

09:18rewards of jannah yet you continue and disobey the teachings of quran sunnah that your iman is very

09:25weak so that's the reason you should be in touch with the quran and say hadith and these things will

09:31get you closer to allah and your rasul hope to answer the question
