من مات ولم يغزُ، ولم يحدث نفسه بالغزو، مات على شعبة من النفاق

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) When a person abandons Jihad in all its different forms and does not think of undertaking it, this causes the disease of hypocrisy within his heart and leads him to a bad end.<br>
2) The sincere intention of a believer suffices in place of action, in case of inability.
