Sahih Muslim.
Book 1. Faith.
Book 001, Hadith Number 0079.
------------------------------
Chapter : Concerning the facts that Interdiction against abominable is a part of Faith, that Faith increases and diminishes; enjoining that which is good and for bidding that which is abominable are obligatory(acts).
It is narrated on the authority of Tariq b. Shihab: It was Marwan who initiated (the practice) of delivering khutbah (address) before the prayer on the 'Id day. A man stood up and said: Prayer should precede khutbah. He (Marwan) remarked, This (practice) has been done away with. Upon this Abu Sa'id remarked: <b>This man has performed (his duty) laid on him</b>. I heard the Messenger of Allah as saying: He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of 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.

Chapter : Concerning the facts that Interdiction against abominable is a part of Faith, that Faith increases and diminishes; enjoining that which is good and for bidding that which is abominable are obligatory(acts).
It is narrated on the authority 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud that the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings be upon him) observed: Never a Prophet had been sent before me by Allah towards his nation who had not among his people (his) disciples and companions who followed his ways and obeyed his command. Then there came after them their successors who said whatever they did not practise, and practised whatever they were not commanded to do. He who strove against them with his hand was a believer: he who strove against them with his tongue was a believer, and he who strove against them with his heart was a believer and beyond that there is no faith even to the extent of a mustard seed. Abu Rafi' said: I narrated this hadith to 'Abdullah b. 'Umar; he contradicted me. There happened to come 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud who stayed at Qanat, and 'Abdullah b 'Umar wanted me to accompany him for visiting him(as 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud was ailing), so I went along with him and as we sat (before him) I asked Ibn Mas'ud about this hadith. He narrated it in the same way as I narrated it to Ibn 'Umar.
Islam is being attacked from every side, even the hypocrites have come out from hiding to attack Islam.
This is a very critical time to every Mumin out there, we all have to fight this, physically, verbally, and the least is within your heart, but you must do something.
Al-Imran
[29] Say: "Whatever ye hide what is in your hearts or reveal it, Allah knows it all: He knows what is in the heavens, and what is on earth. And Allah has power over all things.
[140] If a wound hath touched you, be sure a similar wound hath touched the others. Such days (of varying fortunes) we give to men and men by turns: that Allah may know those that believe, and that He may take to Himself from your ranks martyr-witnesses (to Truth). And Allah loveth not those that do wrong.
[141] Allah's object also is to purge those that are true in Faith and to deprive of blessing those that resist Faith.
<b>[142] Did ye think that ye would enter Heaven without Allah testing those of you who fought hard (in His Cause) and remained steadfast?</b>
At-Touba
[16] Or think ye that ye shall be abandoned, as though Allah did not know those among you who strive with might and main, and take none for friends and protectors except Allah, His Messenger, and the (community of) Believers? But Allah is well-acquainted with (all) that ye do.
Al-Ankabout
[3] We did test those before them, and Allah will certainly know those who are true from those who are false.
[4] Do those who practise evil think that they will get the better of Us? Evil is their judgment!
[5] For those whose hopes are in the meeting with Allah (in the Hereafter, let them strive); for the Term (appointed) by Allah is surely coming: and He hears and knows (all things).
[6] And if any strive (with might and main), they do so for their own souls: for Allah is free of all needs from all creation.
[10] Then there are among men such as say: "We believe in Allah"; but when they suffer affliction in (the cause of) Allah, they treat men's oppression as if it were the Wrath of Allah! And if help comes (to thee) from thy Lord, they are sure to say, "We have (always) been with you!" Does not Allah know best all that is in the hearts of all Creation?
[11] And Allah most certainly knows those who believe, and as certainly those who are Hypocrites.
This a test from Allah (SWT) for all of us, so ask yoursleves what are you going to do?? Will you succeed the test or fail it??
I have seen this happening all over the net, and I have seen people who are failing the test and I have seen peple who are striving to fight in Allah cause wa Al-Hamdu ll'Allah.
Read those Ayat and Ahadith again and decide for yourself, it's up to you, fail or succeed you will get what you deserve.
