Struggles and Renewal of Faith
Struggles in faith can lead to a deeper understanding and appreciation of belief. The fluctuation of iman or faith is a natural part of one's spiritual journey, and low iman should not be equated with no iman. Challenges and doubts can be a means to replenish one's faith, like a warning to refill the 'tank of faith'. Personal struggles and trauma may impact one's faith, and distinguishing between intellectual and emotional obstacles is crucial in overcoming them.
Redemption and Spiritual Growth
The journey of faith involves challenges and trials that shape one's spiritual growth. The story of Abdullah and his father Khabab highlights the transformative power of struggle in deepening one's faith. Embracing redemption through sincere repentance can lead to a renewed spiritual journey. Whether one finds Islam for the first time or returns to it, every step towards faith can be a chance for rebirth and a pathway to spiritual elevation.
