i feel very upset...
my brothers and sisters are being attacked...
how can i sleep comfortably when i know that out there there are innocent people who are sleeping with fear, tears and perhaps with an empty tummy...
how can i be happy when i know that out there there are injustice, oppression and humiliation being carried out mercilessly...
how can i smile when i know that out there there are people who are panting with pains and crying for the loss of their soil...
am i a selfish person?
should i think only about myself?
should i continue my living without any senses?
should i lament my life?
am i a selfish person?


On the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say:
Whosoever of you sees an evil action, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart - and that is the weakest of faith.

It was related by Muslim.


On the authority of Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: the Messenger of Allah (may blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: Do not envy one another; do not inflate prices one to another; do not hate one another; do not turn away from one another; and do not undercut one another, but be you, O servants of Allah, brothers. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim: he neither oppresses him nor does he fail him, he neither lies to him nor does he hold him in contempt. Piety is right here -and he pointed to his breast three times. It is evil enough for a man to hold his brother Muslim in contempt. The whole of a Muslim for another Muslim is inviolable: his blood, his property, and his honour.
