How does one increase the Imaan?

Answer

A person may increase his Imaan firstly by fulfilling the commandments of Almighty Allah Ta'ala to the best of his ability as shown to us by our beloved Rasul (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam).

Secondly, a person by constantly speaking about the greatness of Allah Ta' ala, His qualities, His attributes and staying in the environments where such talks are privileged. A person's Imaan and His convictions on Almighty Allah increases.

Thirdly, by pondering upon the manifestations of the creations of Allah, like the skies, sun, moon, nature, etc.

Fourthly, constantly reciting the holy Qur'aan and pondering over a person's Imaan increases. Allah Ta'ala says, 'Verily the believers are those when the name of Allah is taken before them, their hearts tremble and when the verses of Allah are recited before them, their Imaan increases.'

Furthermore, in order to enhance one's Imaan and faith, one has to constantly ponder abou death and the resurrection after death and giving accountability in the court of Allah Ta'ala.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
