And the one who is unable to do that, then he should consider it (the evil deed) bad in his heart, and this is the sign of weakest faith.^[1]

Dear Islamic brothers! We should question ourselves about 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; and no efforts are made to advise them.

Just ponder! Someone is playing music; no doubt, you might be unable to stop him, but is it causing persistent annoyance to you? Do you consider it bad? No, because مَعاذَ الـلّٰـه you have a musical tune in your mobile phone as well! If two people are hurling abuse at each other on the street, do we consider it bad? No, but why? Because sometimes we too abuse others. If someone tells a lie, do we get annoyed? Yes, but why? Because it harms us personally; we do not consider it bad for the sake of Allah Almighty as we ourselves speak lies مَعاذَ الـلّٰـه.

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 abusing others and speaking lies, but they do not have the mindset of considering these acts as bad in their hearts. If the thought of considering an evil as bad in the heart and the habit of being grieved are truly developed for the sake of Allah Almighty, then اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه a reformation will begin in the society. If we become sincere 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 spread.
