Causes and Effects of Weak Faith. The most beautiful and most important gift and pleasure, namely the enjoyment of faith, cannot be denied, faith is one of the main keys for us to enter the paradise of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
But without us realizing it, our faith is getting smaller and smaller, then, what are the causes of our faith weakening ? and what are the consequences if our faith is weak ?
let's see more info about the causes and consequences if our faith is weak.
Causes of Weakened Faith
1. Emotional Consistency
Every human being must have feelings (emotions) and a sound mind except for humans who Allah Ta'ala has taken out of their minds (Crazy), but sometimes some of us are drowned in a sea of emotions so that we do not have a wise attitude that causes infertility in thinking and conditions like this cause someone is easy to make mistakes so leave the right.
This is the condition experienced by some people who are emotionally consistent (feelings) not because of their own desires or sacred consciousness. Sometimes this kind of consistent attitude arises because it is influenced by a piece of advice that he hears or a sentence that affects him.
Facts and experience have said so. The most important thing in a consistent attitude is a strong will, total awareness and strong will. One who enters the realm of consistency should know the safety and happiness of the hereafter and to gain the love of Allah the Exalted is by obeying it and sticking to the Al-Qur'an and the Sunnah of His Messenger.
2. At least Mental Education
Mental education here is the education of a person to himself where he educates himself and directs him to the right Shari'i direction which is in accordance with the purpose of human creation. Therefore, humans are required to purify and educate themselves
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
قَدْ اَفْلَحَ مَنْ زَكّٰىهَاۖ
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ دَسّٰىهَاۗ
"The person who purifies it (the soul) is fortunate indeed, and indeed the person who pollutes it loses."(Asy-Syams 9-10 )
To purify oneself is to obey one's Lord and to pollute one's soul is to commit immorality. Personality mental education is an urgent requirement that must be carried out by every individual who wants to be consistent, because the human soul is like an animal, if you let go of the reins, then the animal will overwhelm you, even will make you perish, whereas if you can restrain the animal with the reins, then you will be able to regulate and control it as you wish.
3. Slightly Demanding Knowledge
- First: To set them apart as witnesses to the Oneness of Allah without including other human groups.
- Second: Align their testimony with the testimony of God.
- Third: Align their testimonies with the testimonies of His Angels."
4. Lack of Self Introspection
يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَلْتَنْظُرْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدٍۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ خَبِيْرٌ ۢبِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ
