Signs of Weak Imaan

We all notice that Imaan can be up and down, as Rasool of Allah told us: "al-Iman wears out in each and everyone of you and me like a "thaub" (garment) wears out (like our clothes wears out and they become shabby eventually. Iman wears out like that "thaub"). So Rasool of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) advised us (since our Iman wears out) "So all of you Muslims, should ask Allah (swt) to RENEW the Iman in our hearts." (Hadeeth reported by al-Haakim in al-Mustadrak, Al-Haythami in Majma al-Zawaaid, and by al-Tabaraani in al-Kabeer)

For that, we have to know what are the "Signs of weak Imaan"
