Assalamu Aleikum,

Okay so I reverted to Islam like...2 months after actually learning that Islam was a religion (everything progressed after that).
I didn't really have knowledge at all, I have mostly learned about Islam online and from some books, but here are some things that I've picked up that have increased my Eman along the way.
  • Remembering to say Bismillah (In the Name of Allah) before you eat or drink! Its a great reminder your blessings are from Allah SWT.
  • Listening to Islamic lectures. I can not convey how much these benefit. Sometimes they can get kind of boring if a speaker just repeats the same stuff over and over again but the great speakers (Nouman Ali Khan is my favorite) really boost your Eman.
  • Sunnah prayers. Extra time to pray=More energy for the day. "Whoever prays twelve units of prayer voluntarily in a day and night Allah will build him a house in Paradise" [Related by Muslim]That means every time you pray all your Sunnah prayers you have a palace build in paradise! Subhan'Allah!
  • Daily talks with Allah SWT. Ever can't fall asleep? Or craving a walk/jog. Use those times to create a bond with Allah SWT, talk to him about your day, your feelings, your blessings, and stuff like that. Developing love for Allah SWT is the sole thing I have found makes me the person I am today.
  • If you are ever really bored studying, or in a class where your teacher just does not stop talking, take a couple of seconds to recite Surah Al-Fatiha, make Dhikr, and say Shahada under your breath. Saying Shahada a bunch of times really boosted my Eman when it was low and I was having troubles with life.
  • Take some time after your prayer for reflection. Sometimes (and I have no idea if anybody else does this) I just go into prostration and stay there. It makes me feel good :)
This is not just for a revert, but also for a born-muslim or someone who has been Muslim for a long time! Since I, personally, dont have that much time for prayer at home because my parents are strict about it (they are non-muslim), this stuff is really helpful for me and reminds me throughout the day of Allah SWT. Insha'Allah it does for you too!

Wasalaam :)

Thank you for sharing sis. I'm sure it will benefit many of us here InshaAllah. Alhamdulillah in Islam when ilm/knowledge grows so does iman/faith, as long as we do things with proper etiquette/with adab.
