What is the analogy used to explain how faith can fluctuate?

The speaker uses the analogy of physical health, explaining that just as our physical bodies experience times of strength and weakness, our iman (faith) can also fluctuate between periods of strength and weakness.

How does the speaker suggest we handle periods of weakness in faith?

The speaker suggests that during times of weakness, iman needs 'nutrition' just like the body does. This 'nutritional' support for the soul is achieved through contemplation (tafakur) on the greatness of Allah and His creations.

What role does tafakur play in strengthening faith?

Tafakur, or deep contemplation, is presented as the key 'nutrient' for iman. By reflecting on the greatness and perfection of Allah's creations, a person's faith is nurtured and strengthened.

How does tafakur impact our trust in Allah?

Why does the speaker mention that doubts and worries stem from a lack of trust in Allah?
