Some ways to strengthen one's Eeman by Ash-Shaykh Saalih al Fouzaan may Allah preserve him

Question: If a person has weak eeman, how does he strengthen it?

Answer: The ways that will strengthen one's eeman is by performing the many different acts of obedience, because eeman increases with obedience. So if he wants his eeman to increase then it is upon him to increase in acts of obedience and to stay away from sins. Allah the most high says: ( Verily the believers are those who when Allah is mentioned their hearts tremble and when his verses are recited to them they increase in eeman and upon their lord they put their trust. Those who establish the prayer and spend out of what we have provided them. It is they who are the true believers.)8:2-4

So establishing the prayer and giving the zakah and all of the other righteous actions increases one's eeman. Likewise recitation of the quran or listening to the recitation of the quran are from the ways that will increase a individuals eeman. Again all righteous deeds increase eeman, so it is upon him to constantly do acts of obedience and avoid sins and also to accompany the upright people for indeed this will increase his/her eeman.

Lastly, he should ponder over the quranic verses of Allah the most high as this will increase his eeman and he should think deeply about the creation and universal signs of Allah, by this he will gain information about the magnificence of Allah and his great capability.

So all that which we have mentioned increases ones eeman,na'am.
