The Faith Revival

 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Welcome back to the Faith Revival.  So when we talk about the increase of iman in the Qur'an, it almost always has to do  with the Qur'an. So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,  innama almu'minoona allatheena idha thukirallaha wajilat quloobuhum  Verily the believers are those, if Allah is mentioned or if Allah is remembered, their  hearts shake, their hearts immediately tremble. wa idha tuliat AAalayhim ayatuhu  But then once the verses of the Qur'an are recited upon them, zadatuhu imana, then it  increases their heart. wa AAala rabbihim yatawakaloon  And they put their trust in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.  So Allah mentions that the initial, remember that catalyst, the initial moment of the remembrance  of Allah, the heart trembles. But then the Qur'an settles it and it grows the iman in  the heart. It grows that faith in the heart. Almost every single time Allah mentions zadatuhu  iman, the increase of faith, it comes through reciting the Qur'an with contemplation and  reflection and remembrance. There is nothing, nothing that can foster faith in the Qur'an  or foster faith in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. There is nothing that can foster faith in  Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala like a meaningful connection to the Qur'an.  And you read the Qur'an as if it's been revealed to your own heart, as it was revealed to the  heart of the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam and you allow it to grow iman inside of you.  The Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam says, inna allathee laysa fee jawfihi shay'un minal  Qur'an kalbayti alkharib  But the one who has no Qur'an in his heart is like a destroyed house inside. You know  if you think of bayti alkharib, it's ruins. It's not even nothingness. It's ruins that  are inside your chest, inside your heart. So the Qur'an increases iman in the heart  whereas not having Qur'an, the inside is nothing but ruins. There is nothing to stabilize it  so that a person can grow in their relationship to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.  And this is something very profound. How does the Qur'an really guard your iman?  Imam Hassan al-Basri rahimahullah, someone once said to him, fulan yahfadhu al-Qur'an  that so and so memorizes the Qur'an. Qala bal al-Qur'ana yahfadhu. He said rather the  Qur'an protects him. Because hifth means to guard. It doesn't just mean to memorize. It  means to guard. He said rather it's the Qur'an that guards him, not he that guards the Qur'an.  What he meant by that is that when a person increases their connection with the Qur'an  through memorization, that has a particular effect on your iman. Why? Because through  memorization you are busying yourself with the Qur'an. So you're filling your free time  with the memorization of the Qur'an. You're memorizing it so that you can recall it in  times where you will have to recall it. So it busies you with your free time. It takes  up your leisure. You are instead spending that time memorizing the book of Allah subhanahu  wa ta'ala while others fill their heads with so much nonsense. Then reciting the Qur'an  has a particular effect on your iman. Notice Allah says wa idha tuliyat alayhim ayatuh.  When the verses are recited to that person. Or when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions  in surah Maryam that the sign of the believers, the mark of the believers, idha tutla alayhim  ayatuh ar-rahman, when they hear the verses of the most merciful they fall in prostration  and humility and tears. The Qur'an affects them from a recitation perspective. So the  recitation of the Qur'an grows their humility. So once the Qur'an takes care of time, it  takes care of the heart and humility. And one thing the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam  taught us to do, and this is a very practical way to bring iman into your recitation of  the Qur'an, turn every ayah of the Qur'an into a dua, into a supplication. If you can  find a way as you read the Qur'an, the way the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam did,  particularly in the night prayers, every time he read a verse of the Qur'an Umm Salama says  he would remember Allah and he would make dua. How do I turn this verse of the Qur'an  into a dua so that I can actively engage my iman in that moment? But nothing increases  a person's faith the way that the recitation of the Qur'an does. And this is something  very significant because we said that the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam mentioned  healthy fluctuations. There are healthy fluctuations of iman. If the only time you read Qur'an  is in Ramadan, then that in and of itself is indicative that your fluctuations of iman  are not healthy at all. If the only time you touch the Qur'an is one month of the year,  then your heart is going to die for 11 months and you'll have to resuscitate it for that  one month in Ramadan. So the recitation of the Qur'an has to be measured throughout the  year to keep that iman beating and increasing at that healthy pace. May Allah subhanahu  wa ta'ala protect us with the Qur'an,…
