Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh may Allah save you from misguidance and give you strong imaan brother

When I think about the general gist of your posts and threads to date it does not surprise me that you have a crisis of faith (if indeed you are genuine and are not a mischief maker).

I suspect that stopping reading anti-Islamic materials and repeating their contents on Muslim forums would be a big step towards stronger imaan for you.

Increase your worship and good deeds and decrease your sins and harmfulness if you want Allah to give you strong faith - faith is a gift from Allah he gives it to whom He wills and He opens up the path to disbelief to whomever He wills, so change your relationship with Allah if you want to be saved.

Jazakallah for all your replies. I think the brother quoted above got it spot on, the internet is so dangerous to one's iman. I sometimes go on forums and stumble upon people asking questions (Mostly non-muslim trolls) and this plays a key factor in affecting my iman. Also, whenever a doubt comes across my mind and i need it answered i go on these sorts of forums but it's not really rectified. What i really need is a teacher, someone i can turn to whenever i have a crisis of faith, a lot of people have this tool, but i don't. It would be great if i could find a teacher or at least have a teachers details so i'm able to rectify my doubts. The local masjid isn't ideal for this.

I wasn't expecting this sort of reply so thanks a lot, this forums a lot more helpful than any other forum, people are actually willing to help. For the moment, can people share stories or experiences which re-affirmed their faith. Also, is there any books i can read, or lectures which prove that Islam can not be from anyone but Allah, or lectures that have helped you yourselves realize this is the truth (without a shadow of a doubt), also lectures wherein learned shaykhs talk about the karimat they've experienced through their shaykhs, just stuff like that. Lectures on how the Qur'an is a miracle (seen some Nouman ali khan ones but others will be very useful along with this. I also once heard about a lecture by Hamza Yusuf where he talks about karamat of the awliya, it would be great if someone could locate this for me. Please help me on this, and may Allah reward you.


Lastly, i want to devote myself 100% to Islam, and practice it full on, that's why i am asking all these questions. The prophet (peace be upon him) was right when he said holding on to your iman will be like having hot coal in ure hands (or something to that effect). I look forward to you all replying. jzk
