In one of his speeches, after praising Allaah The Almighty, Abu Bakr said, “O people, you read this verse often:{“O you who have believed, upon you is [responsibility for] yourselves. Those who have gone astray will not harm you when you have been guided. To Allaah is you return all together; then He will inform you of what you used to do. ”} [Quran 5:105] However, you have misunderstood it. I heard the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, say: “If acts of disobedience are done among any people and they do not change them even though they are able to do so, Allaah will soon smite them all with punishment.”[Ahmad, Abu Daawood, An-Nasaa’i, Al-Tirmithi and Ibn Maajah] [Saheeh]

Enjoining good and forbidding evil has different degrees; the first of which is abhorrence of the wrongdoing. Only a pious Muslim’s heart would shiver to know about an evildoing that is being committed. Then, a Muslim should advise the wrongdoer to quit his misdeed, and if the wrongdoer does not respond, then a Muslim has to try modifying the misdeed with his hands, if he is able to. On the other hand, some scholars believe that the correct order of these levels is to modify the wrongdoing with the hand, then with speaking out, then with the heart. However, one cannot modify a misdeed with his hands unless he, in his heart, abhors it first, Abhorring a wrongdoing is the least degree of forbidding evil, and if the wrongdoer does not stop, then a Muslim should leave the place where the misdeed is being committed.
It is wrong for a Muslim to say, “As long as I have disapproved of the wrongdoing, I can stay where the wrongdoing is being committed." In fact, by doing so, such a Muslim is actually following his own desires.

Umm Hakeem went early in the morning to the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and asked him to grant amnesty to her husband, and, sympathizing with her, he permitted her to catch up with him and give him the glad tidings of pardon. She set out in his pursuit and caught up with him at the coast of Tihaamah when he was about to sail to Yemen.

She shed tears and said to him,

"O son of my paternal uncle! I have come (with good news) from the best of the people, and the keenest to maintain good relations with people. Do not ruin yourself after I have sought safety from the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, for you, and he granted you safety." He said, "Have you really done so?" She said, "Yes, I talked to him about you and he granted you safety."

If an honourable guest visits you in your dwellings, showers you with goodness and loves you – which you reciprocate; then the time for his departure arrives, how are you going to bid him farewell and how are you going to feel? What separation is then greater and more emotional than that from the beloved guest of the Muslims, the blessed month of Ramadhaan?

Ramadhaan is the month of righteousness and generosity, the month of forgiveness and liberation from Hell. It is all but gone now and nothing remains of it but a few days. Yesterday, we were congratulating each other on the arrival of the month; today we are consoling one another over its departure and invoking Allaah to accept all our acts of worship.

In this noble month, many have done good deeds, while others have done the opposite. These deeds are going to testify for or against us on the Day of Reckoning. We do not know whether we are going to live to witness this glorious month again or not. Therefore, the fortunate Muslim during this month was the one who was able to perfect their acts of worship with sincerity and self-examination and end it with sincere repentance, for acts are judged according to their ends.

It is narrated on the authority of An-Nu'maan Ibn Basheer may Allaah be pleased with him who said : "I heard the Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam say : "That which is lawful is plain and that which is unlawful is plain and between the two of them are doubtful matters about which not many people know. Thus, he who avoids doubtful matters clears himself in regard to his religion and his honor, but he who falls into doubtful matters falls into that which is unlawful, like the shepherd who pastures around a sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Truly, every king has a sanctuary, and truly Allaah's sanctuary is His prohibitions. Truly in the body there is a morsel of flesh which, if it be whole,all the body is whole and which, if it be diseased, all of it is diseased. Truly it is the heart." [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]

Diseases of the heart are a mixture of suspicions and lusts which can lead our souls into turmoil and despair. However, Allaah Almighty has provided us with a special prescription that will cleanse and heal our diseased hearts: The Quran.

The Quran provides the healing for many types of ailments:

1. It contains proofs and clear evidences which separate right from wrong.

Upon its arrival in Inuvik, it will become the world's northernmost mosque. It may also go on record as the world's longest building move.

The number of Muslims in Inuvik, a town of 4,000 inhabitants in the Northwest Territories, has grown steadily in recent years to about 80 and they no longer fit in an old three-by-seven-meter (10-by-23-feet) caravan used until now for prayers.

The congregation could not afford to build a new mosque in the town, where prices for labor and materials are substantially higher than in southern parts of Canada, said project leader Ahmad Alkhalaf.

But they found a supplier of prefabricated buildings in Manitoba that said it could ship a structure to Inuvik for half the price of building a mosque from scratch on site.
