Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – ISoc Hotseat Signs and Remedies of Low Iman

So I want to come off the other hand, it's a pleasure to have you

here with us today at Imperial College London, at the overcoming

obstacles conference.

Absolute pleasure to be

your talk today was about boosting human and dealing with its

fluctuations. If people managed to take only one or two pieces of

advice away from your talk today about boosting your mind, what

would what would they be? I think the main point is probably summed

up in the last two points that I made, which is that we're all

going to have some kind of challenges to our faith. The main

point is how do we have a kind of a stable spiritual input so that

our Eman stays at a moderate level at a good level all the time. And,

number one, regardless of what level it is, we should never

justify any wrongs, so any lows that we may get into, and we may

feel demoralized, we must never justify that low. And just because

we're in a certain situation or position or whatever, think that

it's okay to be there. We do it, we feel guilty, we repent, and we

expect to inshallah boost ourselves up. That's the first

point. And the second point that I made, which is very important is

that it doesn't matter how low we get to and what kind of sin we can

involve, you know, get involved in the small amount, whatever it may

be that we're doing, continue to do that. So if it's something to

do with some kind of haram relationship, illegitimate

relationship or something like that, but you still pray, well

continue praying that prayer still has its validity. It still has its

benefit. If you're still covering, but you've gotten yourself into

something else. Well, it doesn't mean you need to take your cover

off. It's about continuing to do what you're doing. But then the

Haram that's crept into our life and kind of encroached on it, to

try to rid ourselves of it. So in sha Allah that will keep continue

to give us the power to stay steadfast. Okay, so the question

and the second question is, in your talk, you mentioned something

about having a daily or a weekly regimen of record if you could

detail that again, for us in China for the benefit of the viewers.

Yeah, the five things which are very important, which we can call

a vicar regimen is number one to do 100 stick for seeking

forgiveness morning and then 100 in the evening. That stuff it

Allah rugby men can live up to 100 times morning, 100 times in the

evening. The benefit of that is that it will actually purify us

from any lapses, misdeeds or minor sins that we've committed in over

the last several hours, and stay pure. The number two is to do 100

salawat and Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, so Allahumma

salli ala Sayyidina. Muhammad, while early say that Mohammed

alberic wa salam, the benefit of this is that after being purified,

then we're doing ourselves and we're invoking the blessings of

Allah subhanho wa taala. And we're also fulfilling the right of

Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam, because the prophets of

Allah some said, Whoever sends one blessing on him 100 blessings, or

10 blessings are showered on the person who does the sort of art so

we need that blessing. Number three is to read a portion of the

Quran a day the Quran is an illumination, it's, it illuminates

the heart, and that is really a really strong spiritual booth.

It's a big spiritual boost. So the main thing about the Quran is

whether you can just read half a page a day, or even one page a

day, if not, you know, a whole juice of the Quran, whatever is

convenient for you to read every day, then do that amount

regularly. Number four is to have some moment with Allah subhanaw

taala, five to 10 minutes every day where it's just us, and Allah

subhanaw taala and nothing else no other selfish motive is just us

and Allah, some kind of meditation, some kind of

reflection, Baraka Maha Sabha either taking the name of Allah

subhanaw taala, just thinking about our life, our death, and

just speaking to Allah getting personal, intimate conversation

with Allah subhanaw taala. So that is number four and number five, is

to at least once a week, at least once a week, if not more than

that, to have some kind of spiritual gathering that you

attend. That means any gathering in which you feel closer to Allah,

not a management gathering of your of your Isaac, where it's all

about management and it's dry, right? Those are beneficial,

they're useful, but that's not the kind of gathering that is going to

fulfill this particular regimen. I'm speaking about any gathering,

whether it be at university, whether it be in your local mosque

or somewhere else. And if you can't find any, then find

something online, a spiritually boosting talk by somebody which

makes you feel concerned and makes you reflect at least one a week

you do that. Inshallah, if you do all of this, you will keep strong,

pure and balanced. And that will really help us to fortify

ourselves against many of the the factors that will diminish our

iman on a day to day basis, just like a locker does that Graham was

able to run on the

On behalf of the Muslim community here at Imperial and those who

attended I would like to sincerely thank you for taking the time out

today to be with us economically in Austin Mr Nick Amara
