Synopsis

“And whenever a surah is revealed, there are among them [i.e., the hypocrites] those who say, “Which of you has this increased in faith?” As for those who believed, it has increased them in faith, while they are rejoicing.
But as for those in whose hearts is disease, it has [only] increased them in evil [in addition] to their evil. And they will have died while they are disbelievers.”
– [At-Tawbah: 124 & 125]

The venerable Hadith vanguard, Imam al-Bukhari mentions, “I met more than one thousand men from the scholars in different regions, and I did not see a single one of them differ in that the Iman is speech and action; that it increases and decreases.” Echoing the similar sentiments is the eminent scholar, Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal who also said that Iman is speech and action; it increases and decreases and that the righteous predecessors of the scholars of all the lands have agreed upon.

As fallible creations of Allah, we are in constant struggle with maintaining our levels of spirituality and religiosity. This temporal and profane life presents itself as an antagonistic force that challenges our devotion and practice. Islam recommends that a constant adherence to righteousness and abstention from disobedience may provide a semblance of solace.

The main objective of this Sessions is to guide the seekers to the practical rituals and spiritual preparations that will create an elevation of Iman, an overall sensation of closeness towards Allah and perpetual stimulation to consistently be in the state of piety.

Conversely, we will also be reminded of the vices of which should be shunned and avoided, so that the Iman that we have strived to maintain and increase will not be deflated and dwindled.

“Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower.”
– [Ali Imran: 8]
