Bismillah...

My Imaan is not doing too well?
Like I have a dip in my Iman and I just dont feel that sweetness anymore. Or alot of the times, people who start practicing Islam, they'll have this level of faith where they are doing really well & then there will come a time...

Where it just doesn' feel the same anymore. There will come a time where we all at one point in our lives feel like we want that kushu and sincerity of faith back in our lives.

One of the first questions we should ask ourselves is, How is our connection with Allah swt?...

How is our Qiyam-ul-Layl? When was the last time we got up in the middle of the night or in the last 1/3 of the night to pray and conversation with our Lord?

And if we find that the answer to these are not much or not really, I just try to maintain my 5 daily Salaah...

...I'm just happy if I can get that in. Then you need to ponder, reflect upon the fact that if you are cutting off your connection with Allah swt then how do you expect to get better and feel an elevation in iman? How do you expect to feel a closeness to your Maker?...

We have to take steps to become a better Muslim, we need to take steps to reach that level of Iman.

This is why the companions were in a constant state of ibadah and worship to Allah swt. This is why they reached that level of Iman and khushu...

...they never gave up. They were always in constant worship of Allah.
Rabiah (ra) was with the prophet Muhammad (saw) and he bought the prophet (saw) some water for wudhu.
The prophet saw that this companion had something on his mind, so he says to Him,
'Ask, ask what you want

He replies 'Ya rasool Allah, I ask for your companionship in Jannah.' The Prophet replies 'is there anything else that you want?' Rabiah replies 'that's all it, that's all I want.' The prophet then says 'so help me, help you by increasing in your Sajdah.'

Meaning if that's....

...what you desire, you really desire from your life. To be in Paradise with the Prophet (saw) then increase in this ibadah. Now the prophet (saw) could have explained in length and say you have to do this and that etc. Yet the prophet (saw) taught him one simple thing....

He said Increase in your Sajdah. Meaning get in touch with the prayer that Allah swt has given us. Our connection with our Creator, if we cut that off then how do we ever expect to become better muslims? If we cut that connection and we stop seeking help from Allah...

Then theres no way to ever improve theres no way to ever elevate in our deen and connection with our Master.

Dwell and Reflect. Ponder and act upon. Seek and you shall find. Allah swt is a call away. Stay strong!!!

Stay Blessed.
