O man, plant the tree of

IMAN

Drench it with the water of

FAITH

Pick the fruit of WISDOM

And eat.

Then you will perceive

The sweetness of Allah.

SOMEONE gives you a plant to take care of.

Wouldn't you try your best not to let that plant die?

To do that, you are going to make sure and provide all the things

that the plant needs.

You will also find out the basic things those elements need to

grow properly.

BELIEVE ME OR NOT !!!

…..but all of us have one, Very Delicate and at the same time

Very Strong Tree to take care of, given to us by our Lord.

It is the Tree of Iman (sajarat-ul-Iman)

Allah: “…And Allah coins similitude for the human beings (for you and I), so that perhaps we may reflect (we may think).“

(14:25)

Allah: "Have you not seen how Allah coined a similitude (of parable) a good word like a good tree, the root of that tree is firmly established in the ground and the branches reach the heavens.“

(14:24)

The tree of Iman is the basic belief of Islam

"La ilaha illal lah" "There is no God worthy of worship except Allah

(swt)"

It is the most Important tree on

this earth

Like every other tree it has roots,

branches, fruits, trunk!

Rasul of Allah (saw) said:

"Iman has 70 branches”

And the HIGHEST of al-Iman is the

statement "la illaha illallah“

The lowest of the Iman is to remove

some harmful thing from the street.

And modesty is a part of al-Iman.

Belief In Heart

To have a firm belief of "la illah

illallah" in our hearts and all the

thing that it brings.

Every thing that we find from Quran and Sunnah,

we must have a sincere and firm belief on that without

having any doubts.

Statement By Tongue

We must state "la illaha

illallah" by our tongues.

What ever believes we have, we cannot just

keep them in our hearts, but we must say

them out.

Action by our bodily Limbs

we must imply "la illaha

illallah" in our actions

By modifying our every action and deed

according to the Quran and Sunnah

Certainty (Yaqeen)

Knowledge (I'lm)

Root (O'rooq) 

Knowledge (I'lm)

KNOWLEDGE of the

meaning of "la ilaha illallah".

It covers every single aspect of our life. When we know that there is no

God other then Allah (swt), we totally surrender to Him alone and we take everything that He gave us through

the Quran and the Sunnah of Rasul of Allah (saw).

Certainty (Yaqeen)

The CERTAINTY of

everything what "la ilaha

illallah" brings.

When implementing Islam in our lives, or when accepting a matter which we were not aware of before, we should

do it with firm belief and certainty…....as long as it is from the Quran and the authentic Sunnah of

Rasul and his Companions.

Purity of Intention (al-Ikhlas)

To keep Trunk Healthy:We must have a pure intention of our actions it makes

Allah:"(this particular tree by the permission of its Lord), gives fruits (all kinds of fruits) anytime Allah (swt) wants it to give fruits...)

(14:25)

Good fruit depends on Firm Roots and Healthy Trunk and Branches.

Firm roots of Iman in our heart and healthy trunk and branches of the tree

the fruits will prosper.

Righteous deeds Honorable/Noble Character

Those people who believed and did righteous deeds have also been given the glad tidings of Jannah at several places in Quran.

Righteous deeds

Purity of intention (for the sake of Allah only!).

Confirmation of action from Quran and Sunnah!

If the action is not conformed with Shariah, it

is NOT considered a righteous deed!

Every Righteous Deed has two parts for it to be accepted!

ACTION BY OUR BODILY LIMBS

But still our Iman is not completed until we start wearing it ourselves!!

STATEMENT BY TONGUEThen only believing is not enough, we must have to admit by stating by our

tongues the fact that hijab is necessary and inform other people about it in a nice pleasing way.

BELIEF IN HEART

If one has a firm belief in Allah (swt) and whatever He revealed, will definitely believe that wearing hijab is a command of Allah and it is

mandatory.

EXAMPLE

ABDULLAH IBN SAHL AT-TUZKURI (ra) (scholar from the taba'een):

Iman is STATEMENT, is ACTION, is NYYAH (intention) and is SUNNAH.

If it is a STATEMENT without ACTIONS then it is Kufr (disbelief)

if it is a STATEMENT and ACTION with out INTENTION then it is NIFAQ (HYPOCRISY)

if it is a STATEMENT, ACTION and INTENTION without the sunnah, then it is

Bid'ah (innovation).

Can Tree Of Iman Die?

YES!!

Like any other tree on earth!

Things that will Make Our Tree 

Die

KUFR BIDAHInnovations

SHIRK

If we allow These things to come into our tree, It will DESTROY the tree. 

Our tree will become Yellow,Dry and eventually DIE!

To think that Iman is in our hearts only, is one of the tricks of Iblis (satan).

We shouldn't be fooled by the shaytans (satan) of

the Humans and Jinns by thinking this!

Rather we HAVE to show our believes by our statements and by our actions !

Prophet (PBUH), adviced"So all of you Muslims, should ask Allah (swt) to RENEW the

Iman in our hearts."

Iman wears out like our clothes wears out...and they become shabby eventually.

Prophet (PBUH) told:"al-Iman wears out in each and everyone of you and me like a "thaub" (garment) wears out

We all go through high and low levels of Iman.

At times we take 10 steps forward & then 5 steps back in imaan.

But that's ok, as we are taking more steps forward than back.

It's inevitable that we'll make mistakes & will fall in imaan.

Those who lift themselves back up are those who are most successful.

Let's not lose hope!

He guides those who want to be guided&He loves to hear our call.

Let's keep hold of the rope & we'll soon find ourselves climbing once again!

May our Tree of Iman Bloom and its Roots be firmly

established and its BRANCHES reaches the heavens!

JazakumAllah Khair!
