Interpretation of Hadith “If any one of you observes a vice, it is his duty to
change it by force. If he is not able to do so , he should protest against it
verbally.
If he does not posses even this much of courage, his
heart should regard it as bad, and he should regret that he could not stop it,
and this is the weakest degree of faith.”
