Strengthening Faith
Question :
How does a Muslim become a strong believer someone who follows Allah's orders and fears His punishment?
Answer:
A Muslim becomes a more faithful believer when he recites Allah's Book, studies it, reflects upon its meanings and rulings, when he studies the Sunnah of the Prophet, and learns the details of the Shari'ah from these, and acts. accordingly. He must also stick to the right creed, in saying and action, he should know that Allah Almighty, the All- Knower, will hold him accountable on the Day of Judgement, rewarding him for his good deeds and punishing him for his evil ones. Finally, a Muslim should keep company with those who are known for their righteousness, staying away from those who are evil.
May Allah send peace and blessings upon Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
