What is your advice regarding the weakness of being affected by the words of the Shari'ah?

Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, why is it that the Salaf would hear a verse or a word from a hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and their lives would become upright, whereas we hear the Qur'an and the number of hadiths of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and we are not affected except for moments, and then this effect goes away, even though we repent and seek forgiveness? But we do not persist in the covenant of repentance. So what is your advice? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The difference between us and the Salaf is that the Salaf had strong faith; they had strong faith. So when they heard the Qur'an or heard the hadiths of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), they were affected by them, their conditions became upright, and they acted upon what they heard with the strength of their faith. As for us, our faith is weak.
And we seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Him; our faith is weak. For this reason, we are not affected by the sermons, nor by the verses, nor by the hadiths, except with a slight effect, and this effect may disappear after a short time. This is due to the weakness of faith. It is obligatory for the Muslim to strengthen his faith.
And to strengthen his fear of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and to increase his desire for good, so that he may be upon the methodology of the righteous Salaf. Yes.
