Iman (Faith)

Iman is an Arabic word. This means having complete faith in Allah and His Prophet Muhammad (saw). Iman (Faith) means in simple words the things that will happen to us and the things that will happen to us are all decided from Allah. All the good things and all the bad things that will happen to us. Allah previously knows. As Muslims we must accept our Faith, we must have belief that Allah knows why he has made, this happen, even though we many not knows why. For example, if one of our parents suddenly dies, we must believe that it is the order of Allah; we must believe that Allah has a reason for everything that he does, whether it makes us happy or sad. We, as Muslims must accept this belief, that Faith is from Allah whether it is good or bad. Accepting this belief will make our Iman (Faith) strong and this will make us good Muslims. People who believers of Iman call them Mumin’s.
