Sayyiduna Abu Said Khudri narrates that the beloved Prophet said, “When anyone from among you sees evil, he should change it with his hand, and the one who does not have the ability to change it with his hand, should change it with his tongue, and the one who does not have the ability to change it with his tongue, should consider it evil in his heart, and this is the weakest sign of faith.”’

Do we consider it evil in our hearts ?

Dear Islamic brothers! Let us ask ourselves: upon seeing someone commit a sin and being unable to stop it with our hand or tongue, did we at least consider it bad in our heart? How unfortunate is it that when the mother of our children cooks dinner late, if the food is too salty or if our child misses a day of school, we show immense disapproval, but if our family members are missing their five daily prayers every day, we have no problem with it at all. We do not even try to advise them, even though if a child reaches the age of ten and does not offerprayer, it is wajib upon the father to instruct the child in this matter. Otherwise, he will be sinful and worthy of punishment in Hell.
