WHY THESE CRIMES HAPPENING?
WHY ARE EVILS SPREADING WITH SUCH A SPEED?
ARE WE NOT DISTURBED WITH THE DECAY OF VALUES IN OUR SOCIETY?

The simple answer is this....

"The spread of evil in the society is not just because of the evil deeds of evil people, but also because of the silence of good people"

Qur'an says to its followers:You are the best among mankind because you are raised to benefit others.It is your duty to decree good and prohibit from evils.

Abu sayeed(r) reports that Prophet(pbuh) said:whenever you see evil stop it by force,if it is not possible to do so do it by your tongue,if even this is not possible regard it as bad and this is the lowest stage of faith"-Muslim,Tirmizi.

Abû Hâzim said, “The scholars of our time have been content with speech and with no practise! The Salaf used to practice but not speak. After them the people practised and spoke being followed by a people who spoke but did not practice. There will come a time when people will not speak nor practise.”


The one who overcomes his desires is braver than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is self.(Unknown salaf)
