four reasons as to why iman decreases:
- turning away from knowing Allah and His Names and Attributes
- turning away from looking at the universal and shari’i/ legislative signs, because this necessitates heedlessness and hardness of heart
- lack of doing good deeds
- sinning, as Allah said:
'No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning' al mutaffifin:14

قوله: «وقد لا يدخل في اسم الإيمان المطلق»
أي : في مطلق اسم الإيمان.
كما في قوله تعالى: «إنما المؤمنون الذين إذا ذكر الله وجلت قلوبهم وإذا تليت عليهم آياته زادتهم إيماناً» [الأنفال: ٢ ]
فـ 'إنما' أداةُ حصرٍ، يعني: ما المؤمنون إلّا هؤلاء، والمراد بالمؤمنين يعني: ذَوي الإيمان المطلق الكامل.
فلا يدخل في المؤمنين هنا الفُسَّاقُ، لأن الفاسق لو تلوت عليه آيات الله ما زادته إيماناً، ولو ذَكَرتَ الله له لم يَوجَل قلبهُ.

رقّة القلب وتأثره بعد قراءة القرآن من علامات رحمة الله بالعبد، إنّ الله من رحمته بعبده أن يرزقه لين القلب وخشوعهِ، وهذه الرقّة الحاصلة إنّما هي فضلٌ وفتحٌ لا يؤتيه الله أي أحد، وكم من أُناس يشكون عدم التأثر بالقرآن ومواعظه، وما كان هذا إلا بتوفيقه سبحانه، {قل إنّ الفضل بيد الله}.

A man was with the Prophet ʿalayhi al-salam when another passed by and he said, ‘Messenger of Allah, I love that man.’ The Prophet ʿalayhi al-salam asked, ‘Have you told him?’ He said no. The Prophet said, ‘Tell him.’ So he ran after him and said, ‘I love you for the sake of Allah.’ The other replied, ‘May Allah, for whose sake you love me, also love you.’

It also includes a prohibition on spoiling good deeds whilst doing them, by giving them up or doing something that renders them invalid.

Don’t hesitate in returning to Allah even if your sins increase, for the one who sheltered you while you were under the roof of sin won’t let you down while you are under the wing of repentance.

And if a person believes in the divine will and decree of Allah, he is rested, and he does not grieve over what he missed, and he does not rejoice over what he has been in an extreme manner.
as for the one who does not believe in the divine will and decree, he panics and falls if something passes him and he speaks in an ugly manner, or he does an ugly act, like slapping his own cheeks, and tearing his pockets, like the way of jahiliyyah in times of calamity. Also because he does not believe in the divine will and decree, and he is not pleased with that which has passed him even if he panics, and he slaps himself or tears his clothes and pockets, he will not bring back what has passed. in fact, calamity hits him and he does not gain reward as well.
as for the one who believes in the divine will and decree, and is patient with what afflicts him, and he knows it is from Allah, and what Allah wills, happens, and what He does not will, will not happen — that person rests and relaxes.

why is the happiness of the muslim different and unique to the happiness of the non muslim?
as mentioned in surah ar-ruum, the non muslims busy themselves with the short term joys of this life, forgetting the eternal happiness of the akhirah:
« They ˹only˺ know the worldly affairs of this life, but are ˹totally˺ oblivious to the Hereafter. »

Tend to your herd
From the greatest of honor of memorizing the Qur'an is being able to recite it in prayer, especially in the depth of the night. May Allāh, The Most Bountiful, grant us this beautiful gift.
Allāh says, "Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for understanding and more suitable for (reciting Allāh's) words." [ Surat Al-Muzzammil 73:6, Tafsir Ibn Kathir]
However, this sweetness of the Qur'an can be shortlived when we come back to that same surah few weeks later and find it littered with mistakes, or entirely forgotten. The pressure of retaining old memorization has pushed many off the path of memorizing the Qur'an. But this was bound to happen, as the Prophet ﷺ said:
"Keep refreshing your knowledge of the Qur'an, for I swear by Him in Whose Hand is the life of Mahammad, it is more liable to escape than camels which are hobbled." [Sahih Muslim 791]
So what can we do to tend to our herd and stop the camels from escaping?
1. Change of mindset
Many see revision of old surah as something secondary. Imagine bringing in new camels into your herd everyday - yet none are being looked after. Inevitably, the herd will slowly die or the camels will escape to where they are better treated.
Regular revision of old surah is how we tend to the new surahs we let into our life. Letting in a new surah can be relatively easy, but tending to it and nurturing it over time is the real "living with the Qur'an". In this regard, we need to change our mindset and treat revision as primary - revision IS the hifdh (preservation).
2. Take action
📝 We need to have a written schedule that we can easily stick to based on our capability and circumstances. Something written always makes things more serious! The schedule should cater for at least the following: old surahs, recently memorized surah, and the new ayaat we are currently memorizing.
🗓 Having specific appointments for reviewing can help stay on track, e.g. one day in the week, recite new memorization to a teacher, and on another day, recite old surahs with an online partner, etc.
📵 It's also really helpful to put conditions in place that force us to achieve our daily goals, e.g. "I will not check my WhatsApp until I do one page of revision" , or "I'm not allowed to memorize a new ayah until I've reviewed such and such surah."
Yes, I know, this might sound like a bit too much, but, Allāh says:
"And those who strive in our cause – We will surely guide them to Our ways (in this world and hereafter). And indeed, Allāh is with the doers of good." [Al-'Ankabut 29:69]
Ibn Abi Hatim narrated that Abbas Al-Hamdani Abu Ahmad -- one of the people of Akka (Palestine) -- said, concerning the ayah:
"Those who act upon what they know, Allāh will guide them to that which they do not know." [Tafsir Ibn Kathir]
In this context, if we strive hard in taking care of the ayaat we have already memorized (by understanding its Tafsir, acting accordingly and reviewing it regularly) then, by the grace of Allāh, our doors for the new ayaat will be opened.
And last, but not least...
3. Take precaution!
The great Imam Shafi’ee was known for his amazing hifdh. But, eventually he too started to find some deficiency in his memorization and saught advise from his Shaykh, the famous Waki’ bin Al-Jarrah.
He captures the incident in his lines of prose:
شَكَوْتُ إِلَى وَكِيعٍ سُوءَ حِفْظِي;
فَأَرْشَدنِي إِلَى تَرْكِ الْمَعَاصِي
وَقَالَ بِأَنَّ الْعِلْمَ نُورٌ ;
وَنُورُ اللهِ لَا يُؤتَاهُ عَاصِي
“I complained to Waki' of a deficiency in my ability to memorizie,
so he advised me to leave off sins,
and said, "Verily, knowledge is light,
and the light of Allāh is not given to a sinner."
[Al-Jawāb al-Kāfī’ P. 54]
This is, as Allāh says, "so have Taqwa of Allāh (i.e. work in obedience towards Allāh and refrain from sinning), and Allāh will teach you... " [Al-Baqarah, 2:282]
We ask Allāh to grant us tawfiq and purify our intentions, and to make our Qur'an an evidence for us, not against us, on the Day of Judgement.
