10 ways to grow Iman.
1. Pray in the last third of the night.
2. Go to Fajr and Isha in congregation.
3. Say Adhkaar in the morning and evening.
4. Remember death often.
5. Contemplate over the creation of Allah and how vast and beautiful His creation is.
6. Gain some knowledge of the Deen daily.
7. Remember the purpose of life.
8. Fast voluntarily.
9. Pray as if it is your last prayer.
10. Read the Quran.
Aisha (RA) asked the Prophet ﷺ about the verse:
“On the Day the earth will be replaced by another earth, and the heavens as well…” (Qur’an 14:48)
She asked: “Where will we be?”
The Prophet ﷺ said:
If you’re wondering why everything in your life feels delayed look at how often you delay ṣalāh.
Because some people want Allah to prioritize their duas while constantly postponing the moments Allah called them first.
Every day, two groups of angels descend to earth.
One at Fajr. One at Asr.
They meet. They witness who is praying. Then, the names of those people are carried up to the heavens.
This is recorded in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
The moment the adhan echoes and you pause your work, put down your phone,
leave the conversation,close the app…
Allah sees that.
That small decision is not small in the sight of Heaven.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "As-Salatu ala waqtiha."
(Prayer at its appointed time.)
This is found in the Kitab Mawaqit as-Salah of Sahih Bukhari and Muslim. It sounds simple, but it’s a profound psychological shift.
A man asked the Prophet (ﷺ):
"Which deed is most beloved to Allah?"
It wasn't fasting.
It wasn't charity.
It wasn't Hajj.
His answer left the Sahaba in silence.
No squabble or argument is worth it; don't sacrifice your Hereafter for these pettiness. Avoid it and if you can’t, excuse yourself and walk away. Make peace with those you've offended or insulted.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“The eyes commit zina, and their zina is looking…” (Muslim 2657)
Every click, every gaze, every scroll it’s being recorded. The eyes may look, but it’s the heart that becomes blind.
Your Iman can’t thrive in a heart that’s constantly polluted. You can’t cry in Tahajjud while you're indulging in sin at 2AM. You can’t feel close to Allah while filling your mind with what He hates.
The filth stays with you. It drags your soul down even when you’re smiling on the outside.

Allah is:
Al-Ghafūr — The Most Forgiving
At-Tawwāb — The One who accepts repentance
Al-ʿAfūw — The One who erases sins
the One who conceals faults, He loves you so much so love Him back. He has not given up on you, So do not give up on Him.
Never despair in the mercy of Allah.
When you feel low, ashamed, or dirty because of your sin, use that feeling as fuel to do good.
Let guilt push you toward mercy. Let regret become motion. Let your book of deeds grow heavier than your mistakes.
Sometimes the sin that broke you is the reason you finally knew Allah deeply.
Practical examples:
• Read Qur’an for 10 minutes
• Pray 2 rakʿah
• Help your parents
• Smile at someone
• Give charity
• Make dhikr while walking
• Teach one beneficial reminder
• Help a friend
Small deeds done sincerely can change a life.
Secondly
this is very important if you keep falling into the sin: increase your good deeds.
You sinned once? Do three good deeds.
You slipped again? Increase three more.
Shift your focus from drowning in the sin to racing toward goodness.
Why?
Because good deeds please Allah. They draw you near to Him. And they wipe away bad deeds.
Firstly: whenever you fall into the sin, seek Allah’s forgiveness immediately.
The moment you realise what happened, turn back to Him. Do not delay. Do not let Shayṭān fill your mind with thoughts like “You’ll just do it again” or “Allah won’t forgive you.”
Repent right there.Even if it is the 100th time.
