Submitted by Yusuf:

My three points are these:

1) Doing your daily salat on time in which you glorify Allah as much as possible. I recite surah Ikhlaas and ayat 17:111(or 110), then afterwards Ayat al-Kursi and 59:23-24.

2) Recite Quran daily-20 verses or more after Fajr.

3) Dhikr—Asma ‘l-Husna. Whenever making dua, use the Names of Allah to approach Him. Keep remembrance in whatever you are doing and strive to see Allah in all you do.

Submitted by Hawa:

1. I made it a must to read Ayatul Yaseen three times on friday ie. after Fajri prayer, After Juma Prayer, and after Ishah prayer. By doing this I thank ALLAH for having enabled me to survive from one friday to another for many years.

2. I made it also a good habit to read some part of the quran everyday after my Fajri prayer and I am happy to say that I have at least 15 HATMAs in store for me.

3. I am also proud to say that I try to fast at least every Monday and Thursday just to increase on my Eeman.

4. The Word SUBHANA LLAHI WABIHAMDIHI SUBHANALLAH ADHEEM is one of the words that i would never miss in all circumstances.

Submitted by Safinah:

First of all, the duas or blessing that my parents give me when I do something that pleased them.
Secondly, I believe that when one asks duah for someone else, Allah swt will grant you too the same benefit. E.g. if you ask duah for someone’s success, Allah swt will make you too succeed in life.
Every time Allah swt favors us something, we must be grateful to him.

Submitted by Abida:

1. Always pondering upon the bounties of the Almighty and thereby uttering words of thanks to him. Even saying "Alhamdullilah" has alot of reward.

2. Constant recitation of the dua " Ya Allahu Ya Rahmanu Ya Rahimu Ya Muqalllibal qulub, thabit qalbi alah dinik"

3. Being in wudhu all the time.

Submitted by Aishaa:

Not missing my Fajr salah as it really is one of the most important prayer of the day n if one misses his/her fajr for 3 days in a row , the malaeeka of Allaah ta’aala will curse the person. And thus my success of the day begins with salaatul fajr n if I ever missed it I feel sick n in pain all day SubhanAllaah.

Another way which makes me closer to my Rab is, when we have our meal I never throw any bite of morsel in the bin rather I go to our backyard and chuck it for the birds and chuck the bones out for Muslim brothers and sisters from amongst the jins.

And another way of feeling closer to Allaah swt is when someone likes something of mine I give it away for the sake of Allaah to that specific person and seeing the joy and happiness on the face of the person makes me happy and humble as well as closer to Allaah, for being kind and merciful to the creation of Allaah is indeed a worthy action and noticeable by our Lord Allaah ta’aala who will inshaAllaah in return be kind and merciful on to us Walhamdulillaah for al Islaam

Submitted by Hafijur:

Submitted by Moh'dRaza:

We have to realize that true faith will not prevail without "Takwa"and "Takwa" constitutes obience to Allah (S.W.).

In order to be obidient servant of Allah(S.W.) we have to understand our islamic religious teachings to it's perfaction. According to my personal experince, reading of the "Quran"on daily basis with understanding helps us understand Islam properly.

Secondly, pondering on whatever we here from the pulpit (Mimbers) or read any material in connection with our islamic faith helps us identify whether the statement or litrature is in agreement with the "Quran" or the sayings of the Ahalbait.

Thirdly, we must make an effort to obtain "Qurbe Illahi" to be closer to our creator for Allah(S.W.) has mentioned it in Hadise Kudsi "Come closer to me through Takwa and I will make you like me.

Submitted by Babi:

Eveny morning when I get to my office, before I even start working, I recite the following which does not even take 10 minutes:-

Surah-al-fathia, Ayatul-kursi,Surah-Qadr,Sura Zil-Zal, Al-Adiyat, Al-Takauthur, Suratul Nasr, Al-Kaifrun, Iklaas, and
3 times Astaghfirullaahallazi Laa ilaaha illaa huwal hayyul Qayyoom Wa Atubu ilayhi. This sees me through my day.
Puts me at ease, I'm rational in my thinking brave in my doings.

Submitted by Hannah:

Firstly, always being around Muslim people. I go to an Islamic school and the Muslims there are awesome. The Quran said to always surround yourself with believers and that has helped me remember Allah.

My second point: to always remember Allah in everything we do. Whatever it is, always say insha allah and have Allah in our plan.

The final point is to always pray on time, and not 10 minutes before the next prayer is due. Pray right when the adthan is given. These help me keep my Eman straight.

Submitted by Sis Kulsum:

1. I have tried to follow the footsteps of my Mother who was a very pious lady who helped me how to stay in the family and with help of Allah (s.w.t.)learnt, specially how to give and take.
2. Befor I go to sleep I make Sure I have done wudhoo and pray three times Al-Ikhlas and I scrutinise my account of the day and Ask for forgivrness if I have done wrong. I try and remain in Wudhoo through out.
3. When it comes to manners and characters I do speak, as speech becomes gold and remaining silent is like deadly poison, specially at the time of 'Amr Bil Maruf and Nahi Anil Munkar'.

Submitted by Sheema:

1.Whenever I am driving to go to work I recite 100 times durud, 100 times 3rd kalima, 100 times istaghfar.

2.Trying to read all the suplications and some surahs after fajr.

3.If I do any good deed for someone I always say, "Oh allah this is for you please reward me", or if someone upsets me I ask Alah to help me and reward me for controling my temper.

Submitted by Naushad:

1. As far as possible, have all meals with the family, especially children. It is amazing how a strong bond is established by doing this and how many things are discussed about religion.

2. Saying salaam to every member of the family first thing in the morning and then when returning home. This habit would extend automatically to other Muslims. What more can one wish for besides peace and well-being for each other?

3. Form a habit of reading a bit (even a page will do) from an Islamic book everyday after fajr prayer. Why not start with the translation of the holy Qur'an (most of us already recite it), followed by Nahjul Balagha, Sahifa e Sajjadiyah, Taudhihul Masael (Islamic Acts), History of Holy Prophet, Books on Ahadith, etc.

Submitted by Amira:

1. Reading The Holy Quran at least everyday; it really keeps me in a state of realization, remembrance, and thankfulness: It should be a daily reminder.

2. Saying the Beautiful names of Allah for a better life and a peace of mind.

3. Learning more and more about islam by researching the net, books , hadiths, etc.


Submitted by Mansura:

A few ideas, which I feel has really helped me in my personal life for the 3 ways to Eaman :

1- Giving charity - however little or large to needy people, especially when they come and ask you for assistance.

2- Reciting the powerful Names of Allahs, short one-liners and Duas from the kitaab "Qunoot". I really really have a lot of faith in this.

3- Thanking Allah at all times, irrespective of whether you had a good day or a bad day. Remembering that you are more fortunate than millions of others and thanking God for all the neemat he gave us, i.e eyes, ears, legs, a mind, etc...

4- It is also very good to do wudhoo at night before going to sleep.

5 - Being polite and respectful to your elder parents and supporting them if required. Always remember them in your prayers with " Rabbir ham kama rabba yalis sagheera"
