You know that moment during Salah when your heart feels at peace? That’s your Imaan soaring! The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “The coolness of my eyes is in Salah.” (Sunan an-Nasa’i). When Salah feels like a gift rather than a burden, your Imaan is definitely getting stronger.

Do you find yourself wanting to give charity, help your parents, or simply be kind to everyone around you? That’s a beautiful sign! The Prophet (PBUH) said, “The best of you are those who are best to their families.” (Sunan Ibn Majah). Your desire to do good deeds is proof of your faith growing within you.
3. Your Heart Feels Heavy When You Sin
Making mistakes is part of being human, but if you feel deep regret after sinning and immediately seek forgiveness, that’s a powerful sign of Imaan. The Prophet (PBUH) taught us, “All the sons of Adam are sinners, but the best of sinners are those who repent.” (Tirmidhi).
4. You Love to Learn About Islam
