Iman - Faith

Dear Muslim brothers and sisters

Let us not be complacent by thinking that our iman will continue to be with us throughout our lives. I believe that all of us may have made such du'as to Allah:
"O Allah! Let us die as Muslims and in a state of submission when we return to You!"
Truly, this du'a is extremely important.

Some parts of our lives, we may have encountered people who have abandoned the religion and chose dunya over Islam (may Allah swt have mercy upon them). We may wonder why but we do not know why and what made them turn their backs.

But as for me, now that Allah has conferred the favor upon me to be a Muslim, i dread the day when the remembrance of Allah should ever exit my heart. Na'udzu billah! For time and time again, i hear stories of Muslims forsaking Allah and Islam.

I do fear my own safety.

"O Allah, cause me not to turn my back against You nor Islam in this life here, and let me return to You only in a state of submission and as a true believer! amin amin ya rabbal alamin!
