In the Islamic perspective, Francis, strengthening one's faith in Allah (God) involves as well:

Listening to the testimonies of others:

In Islam, it is essential to learn from the experiences and stories of other believers as examples to follow.

The Quran states, "Indeed, in the messenger of Allah, you have a good example to follow for whoever hopes for [the Meeting with] Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah often" (33:21). Muslims can strengthen their faith by reading about the trials and triumphs of Prophets and their followers, as well as engaging in discussions with fellow believers.

Learning from those with stronger faith:

Seeking knowledge from scholars and righteous individuals is highly encouraged in Islam. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim." (Musnad Ahmad) By learning from those with stronger faith, Muslims can improve their own faith and understanding of Islam. It is crucial to choose reliable sources and individuals who follow the authentic teachings of Islam, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "The best of you are those who learn the Quran and teach it to others" (Tirmidhi).

Expressing gratitude to Allah for His blessings:

Gratitude is a vital aspect of Islamic faith, as it strengthens the connection between Muslims and Allah.

The Quran states, "And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe" (14:7). Muslims should always remember to express gratitude for the blessings they receive, as this helps them trust in Allah's plan. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Nothing is more beloved to Allah for a believer than saying what is truthful and expressing gratitude to Allah" (Tirmidhi).
