Introduction to Causes Behind the Increase and Decrease of Eeman

A practical guide to understanding the nature of iman (faith) and the factors that strengthen or weaken it. The book is grounded in the Athari understanding that iman increases with obedience and decreases with disobedience — a position established by the Salaf al-Salih and opposed to the Murji'ah who held that iman neither increases nor decreases.

The author systematically covers: the Quranic and Sunnah proofs that iman fluctuates; the causes that increase faith including recitation of Quran, remembrance of Allah, good deeds, and contemplation of creation; the causes that decrease faith including sin, heedlessness, excessive worldly attachment, and following desires; and practical methods for reviving and strengthening faith.

This is a valuable text for Muslims who feel their faith has weakened and seek guidance on how to restore the sweetness and strength of iman. The author's practical approach makes complex theological concepts accessible and actionable for everyday Muslim life.
