Why is it important for a believer’s faith to be strong in Allah?

Strong faith in Allah (swt) helps one to stand up firmly to the destruction of evil, so it was also with all the Apostles and Prophets of Allah (swt). Hazrat Muhammad, Prophets Noah, Abraham, Isma’il, Isaac, Moses, Aaron, Elias, Lot, David Suleiman etc. (pbut). Peace and salutation be with all of them. They formed series of strong and firm faith in their Lord, which helped them to work sincerely in their Lord’s service, which help them to carry out God Almighty mission with firmness of faith and constancy. Strong faith always won to the destruction of evil, and leads one to achieve salvation. Serve Allah (swt) for He wants exclusive devotion. Weak faith in Allah (swt) leads one to endless tragedy and corruption. Shaitan fall from weakness of faith in Allah (swt), his weakness leads him to arrogant and disobedient to his Lord. With strong faith in Allah (swt), men are able to guard themselves against: because they have the zeal to seek Allah’s (swt) help when evil attacks them, and so Allah (swt) rush to their aid and He protected them with the honor to triumph over evil.

Weak faith: it is human error, which can be easily corrected by strong effort of self sacrifice, making prayers and the remembrance of Allah (swt) constantly and with sincerity: this would help to strengthen one’s faith in Allah (swt). Ifone’s faith is not strong enough, they would not be able to face up to the test, trial and tribulations from Allah (swt), and as such they would not get His aid to help them through a difficult time in their lives, and so the Shaitan will be right at their service to offer them his help. That is how many people turn to evil rituals to get help for their problems, and some people even seek evil omen to destroy innocent people’s lives. But evil has no power over faith, truth and sincerity, such powers as it has, is over those who deliberately put themselves in the way of destruction. It is their weak faith and their own lazy will (to turn to Allah (swt) with sincerity) that leads them astray.If they were fortified against evil by faith, patience and constancy, evil would have no power to betray them. For the people who turn to evil, they should know that Shaitan cannot do anything without seeking Allah’s (swt) permission. The Holy Qur’an states:

(Iblis) said: “Then, by Thy power, I will put them all in the wrong. 38:82.”

Except Thy Servants amongst them, sincere and purified (by Thy Grace).”38:83.
