Why do I not feel the sweetness of faith, and why do my ears not love to hear the Quran, but rather I prefer to read it? What is the solution to this?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

For a Muslim to taste the sweetness of faith, he must be content with Allah as his Lord, Islam as his religion, and Muhammad (peace be upon him) as his Prophet and Messenger. He must also love the believers and detest the disbelievers. This contentment is not merely a verbal affirmation but a sincere conduct, orientation, and commitment to the Sharia. One must observe the obligatory duties and increase in supererogatory acts and acts of obedience, for by drawing closer to Allah, His love is attained, and the servant finds the sweetness of faith. If one does not find the sweetness of faith, it indicates a deficiency in some of these matters or not performing them correctly. If these matters are addressed properly, the aversion to hearing the Quran will also vanish.
