Quotes About Iman (Faith in Allah)

“It is impossible for life to not affect faith, or for faith to have a separate existence away from life.

“Faith is not by wishful thinking, it is what takes root in the heart and shows in one's actions.

“There is always a solution, there is always a way out, so long as there is faith.

“Search for your faith when you are experiencing doubt and anxiety, and when you find your faith, you will find yourself.

Dr. Mustafa Mahmud

“al-Iman (faith) is that which puts man into motion; it directs him and creates in him tremendous powers that wouldn't manifest without it. It rebuilds him into a new creation, with a new spirit, a new mind, a new resolve, and a new philosophy in life. We saw this in the story of the magicians of the Pharaoh when they believed in the Lord of Moses and Aaron, challenged the tyranny of the Pharaoh, and with all the confidence in the world they said to him: "Then decide (regarding us) whatever you want to decide, your decision can only affect this worldly life." (Quran 20:72)

Yusuf al-Qaradhawi

“True faith in Allah (al-yaqeen) and the Day of Judgment are recognized by their effect on a person's actions. The faith of the one who testifies to falsehood, drinks alcohol or transgresses on the rights of people is nothing but an illusion in the mind, not a faith based on certainty, because this faith has had no effect on the actions of the limbs or the tongue. True faith is that which controls a person's behavior and decides what type of deeds he performs.

Sheikh Ahmad Mustafa al-Maraghi

“Whoever continuously abandons the sunnah (voluntary) prayers, then this shows a weakness in his religion.

al-Hasan al-Basri

“The more I know, the best I believe. The more I know, the best I’m worshiping Him. Because, in the end Allah knows the best.

Tariq Ramadan

“After my khutbah today, a 93-year old man walked up to me asking if he had to fast. When I told him that Allah has given him a concession and he can feed a poor person instead, he demanded to know which verse in the Quran gave this concession.

After I showed it to him, he hugged me and began crying - said this was the first time he was unable to fast in his life and was feeling very guilty. He had woken up for suhoor but wasn't able to continue.

Truth be told, I felt more guilty - knowing that he had fasted more than three times the amount I had fasted in my entire life and yet still was attempting to go strong. His Iman put me to shame.

Yasir Qadhi
