Foundations of Faith

Faith Can Rise and Fall

This lesson explains that faith is not fixed. It can increase through good deeds and closeness to Allah ﷻ, and it can decrease through sins and neglect. Ahl as-Sunnah wal-Jamaah follow the Quran and Sunnah clearly, staying united and avoiding division.

The explanation of uniting the word of the Muslims and unifying their rank as ‎well as warning them against splitting and differing has come in detail with the ‎utmost clarity and the clearest elucidation within the Book of Allah and the ‎Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah . So there is no ‎resistance for Ahl as-Sunnah wal-Jamā’ah, the people of the truth and ‎uprightness, from that which has come within the Book of Allaah and the ‎Sunnah. They follow it wherever it goes, in negation and affirmation (i.e., negating ‎that which it negates and affirming that which it affirms).
