Dear Islamic brothers! Have you noticed that our Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is extremely kind and affectionate! He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم even forgave his enemies who were cruel to him but when the violation of the Shari’ah was committed before him, then he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would get angry. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: When anyone of you sees an evil deed, then stop it with your hand and the one who is unable to do that then stop it with your tongue and the one who is unable to that then consider it (the evil deed) bad in his heart, and this is the weakest sign of faith.

(Sahih Muslim, pp. 44, Hadees 49)

Dear Islamic brothers! We should question our conscience whether we have ever considered a person committing a sin bad in our heart. Extremely regretfully! If the mother of our children delays in cooking the food, adds more salt to the food, or our children are absent from school, then we dislike it, but if our family members miss their five daily Salahs, we do not show any signs of displeasure; even no efforts are made to advise them. Just ponder! Some play music, no doubt if you are unable to stop him, but is it causing persistent annoyance to you? Are you considering it bad? No, because مَـعَـاذَ الـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ you have a musical tune in your mobile phone as well! If two people are abusing each other on the street, do we consider it bad? No, why, because sometimes we too make abuses. If someone tells a lie, do we get annoyed? Yes, why, because it harms us personally, we do not consider it bad for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ as مَـعَـاذَ الـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, we ourselves speak lies.

These examples are given only to make us realize our own condition, no doubt, many have no musical tones in their mobile phones. They do not have the habit of making abuses and speaking lies, but they have no mind-set to consider them bad in their hearts. If the thought of considering an evil as bad in the heart and the habit of being grieved are developed in reality for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, then اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, a reformation will begin in the society. If we become strong in considering evils as bad, then we will start making people understand that as well. The blessed Sunnah will be practiced everywhere and the call towards righteousness will be propagated.
