Allah (Exalted be He) tells about the advice of Luqman to his son:
"O my son! Aqim-As-Salât (perform As-Salât), enjoin (on people) Al-Ma‘rûf - (Islâmic Monotheism and all that is good), and forbid (people) from Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief in the Oneness of Allâh, polytheism of all kinds and all that is evil and bad), and bear with patience whatever befalls you. Verily, these are some of the important commandments (ordered by Allâh with no exemption).
Moreover, it is authentically reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him) that he said:
Whoever, among you, sees something abominable should rectify it with his hand; and if he has not strength enough to do it, then he should do it with his tongue; and if he has not strength enough to do it, (even) then he should (abhor it) from his heart, and that is the least of Faith.
Consequently, Muslims have to
change evil as best they can for Allah (Exalted be He) does not burden a person beyond his scope and because Allah (Exalted be He) says:
So keep your duty to Allâh and fear Him as much as you can
Moreover, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
When I command you to do anything, do of it as much as you possibly can...
Thus, Muslims should bear with patience whatever befalls them as an inevitable result of enjoining good and forbidding evil. If a person does what he should do to the best of his ability, he is rewarded and if he is unable to do anything that he is commanded to do, he is excused and not considered sinful.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
