Q 7:
When I was in secondary school, I strongly adhered to the true religious behavior. However, I feel now after joining university that my faith decreases.
I seek your advice concerning this matter. May I ask you to send me a tape tackling `Aqidah (creed) and the issues of Kufr (disbelief) and hypocrisy in particular?
A:
You should recite, ponder, and act upon the Ayahs of Qur'an and Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Additionally, you should refer to the statements of the reliable people of knowledge in `Aqidah and Fiqh (jurisprudence) and do more good deeds. (Part No. 3; Page No. 255) Similarly, befriend pious people and avoid evil ones and evil deeds. Also, you can frequently remember Allah and ask His forgiveness to ward off Satan's whispers. You may reconsider your previous sins, if you were a wrongdoer, you should hasten to make tawbah (repentance to Allah) and asking forgiveness after regretting what you have done, giving it up immediately and determining not to repeat it in future.May Allah grant us success. May Peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions!
