Eemaan is in Need of Renewal because it does Wear Out (or decrease)!

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

The Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said:

إِنَّ الْإِيمَانَ لَيَخْلَقُ فِي جَوْفِ أَحَدِكُمْ كَمَا يَخْلَقُ الثَّوْبُ فَاسْأَلُوا اللَّهَ أَنْ يُجَدِّدَ الْإِيمَانَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ

‘’Indeed, Eemaan wears out in the heart of one of you just as the thawb (i.e. clothes) wears out, so ask Allaah to renew Eemaan in your hearts.’’ [Source: Silsilah As-Saheehah –[Hadeeth No 1585  (Vol 4 page 113)]
