When your imaan (faith) is really low,” a brother recently asked There was a point in my life where I tasted the sweetness of being connected with Islam and Allah, but I just don’t feel anything any more. And I see the effect it has on me. I’m doing things I’m not supposed to do. I feel bad, and I say I won’t do it again, but I do?? “And O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat from wherever you will but do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers.” (Qur’an, 7:19) And yet Adam (`alayhis salam) still fell. Adam was not commanded by a parent, a boss, or a spouse; it was Allah Who gave this order to Adam (peace be upon him) directly. And yet Adam still ‘messed up’. So what about you and I? Look, we all sin and we all massively fall; we feel a tremendous decrease in our iman, an enormous distance in our once-close relationship with Allah, and we begin to find ourselves slipping away from the sweet connection we once had with Allah in a downward spiral which seemingly has no way up. However, let us not despair! There is major hope!
