Put a tick at the end of each statement that you think is true for you
Do I really believe that Allah swt exists with his attributes
Do I believe that He is the one who is causing everything to happen
Do I believe that one day I shall return to Him and will have to answer for everything that I did.
Does my life shows that I believe
Do my actions testify that I am a servant to Allah swt

5. وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَقُولُ آَمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَبِالْيَوْمِ الْآَخِرِ وَمَا هُمْ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿2:8﴾
يُخَادِعُونَ اللَّهَ وَالَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا وَمَا يَخْدَعُونَ إِلَّا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿2:9﴾
فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ فَزَادَهُمُ اللَّهُ مَرَضًا وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْذِبُونَ ﴿2:10﴾

When you speak check if what you are saying is not a lie.
Lying wastes good deeds. Think. Do you want to waste your good deeds.
What are the moments, situations times, places when I lie.
Why do I lie? Is it to please people, to look good in their eyes or to pretend to be what I am not.

8. أَلَا إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ الْمُفْسِدُونَ وَلَكِنْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿2:12﴾

أَلَا إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ الْمُفْسِدُونَ وَلَكِنْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿2:12﴾
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ آَمِنُوا كَمَا آَمَنَ النَّاسُ قَالُوا أَنُؤْمِنُ كَمَا آَمَنَ السُّفَهَاءُ أَلَا إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ السُّفَهَاءُ وَلَكِنْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿2:13﴾
