There are many causes of weak faith, some of which are the same as the symptoms, such as committing sin or being preoccupied with this world. There follows a list of some additional causes:
- Keeping away from faith-filled environment for too long. This causes weak faith in a person.
- Keeping away from the good example of righteous leaders.
- Failing to seek knowledge and to be acquainted with the books of the salaf (early pious generations) and religious books which will uplift and revive the heart.
- Leaving in an environment that is filled with sin, so you see one boasting about his latest misdemeanor, another humoring popular song to himself, a third smoking, a fourth reading a *!*!*!*!ographic magazine, a fifth cursing and swearing, and so on.
- Preoccupation with this world, so that the heart is enslaved by it.
- Being preoccupied with one’s wealth, wife and children.
- Hoping for a long life.
- Another cause of weak faith is and heart heartedness is eating too much, sleeping too much, staying up too late, talking too much and mixing with people too much.
