Faith Elevates the Status of Muslims

Ibn Qayyim mentioned that faith and knowledge are two pillars that elevate a person's status both in this world and the hereafter. This is in line with the words of Allah in the Quran, Surah Al-Mujadilah verse 11, which means:

"Allah will surely raise those who have believed among you and those who were given knowledge by degrees."

This verse motivates us to continue learning and maintaining our faith. Having knowledge and faith will lead humans to tranquility and happiness in life. Of course, it is not easy and requires great effort to stay on the path that Allah has set.

The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said in his hadith:

إِيْمَانُكَ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ

Artinya:

"Faith is that you believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Day of Judgment, and you believe in the divine decree, both the good and the bad."

Prayer for Perfect Faith

In addition to being guarded, faith also needs to be perfected to remain firm, so that it is not shaken even when temptations arise. Allah teaches us about the prayer for perfect faith. Let's take a look at the reading of the prayer for perfect faith below:

رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِلَّدُونْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ

Artinya:

"Ya Tuhan kami, janganlah Engkau jadikan hati kami condong kepada kesesatan sesudah Engkau beri petunjuk kepada kami, dan karuniakanlah kepada kami rahmat dari sisi Engkau; karena sesungguhnya Engkau-lah Maha Pemberi (karunia)."

That is the reading of the prayer for perfect faith that needs to be practiced. Although faith often fluctuates, we need to strive to maintain and perfect it. Therefore, praying to Allah is the right way to guard and perfect our faith.
