Strength of faith is asked for, not apologised for.
Narrated by Abū Hurayrah (أبو هريرة)
الْمُؤْمِنُ الْقَوِيُّ خَيْرٌ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ الضَّعِيفِ، وَفِي كُلٍّ خَيْرٌ
"The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer — though in each of them there is good. Strive for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not give in."
Strength here is interpreted by the scholars to mean strength of will, strength of discipline, strength in the work one gives oneself to. The hadith refuses a certain kind of lazy piety — the Muslim who does not try. But the second clause is tender: even in the weak, there is good. Allah sees the effort, not only the outcome.
