A Few Signs of Faith in Islam

Abdullah ibn Mas`ud related that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (peace be upon him) once recited the verse: "And whoever Allah wishes to guide, He opens his heart to Islam." (Noble Quran, Sura Al-Anam, 6:125) He then explained it by saying:
          "When faith enters the heart, it opens up.
He was asked, 'O Messenger of Allah! Is there a sign by which this may be recognized?' And he said:
          "Yes, to lose interest in the place of deception, to long for the place of eternity and to     
          prepare for death before it comes." (Baihaqi)


Anas related Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (peace be upon him) said:
          "Faith belongs to whoever has 3 things: to love Allah and His messenger more than      
          anything else; to love and be loved for the sake of Allah; and to hate returning to unbelief just  
          as much as one would hate to be thrown into a fire." (Bukhari, Muslim)
