Chapter 23
ﺮﻜﻨﻤﻟا ﻦﻋ ﻲﻬﻨﻟاو فوﺮﻌﻤﻟﺎﺑ ﺮﻣﻷا ﻲﻓ بﺎﺑ
Enjoining Good and forbidding Evil
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good (Islam), enjoining Al-Ma`ruf (i.e.,
Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do) and forbidding Al-Munkar (polytheism and disbelief
and all that Islam has forbidden). And it is they who are the successful.''
(3:104)
"You (true believers in Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his
Sunnah) are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma`ruf (i.e., Islamic Monotheism
and all that Islam has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islam has
forbidden)''.
(3:110)
"Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish (i.e., don't punish them).''
(7:199)
"The believers, men and women, are Auliya' (helpers, supporters, friends, protectors) of one another; they
enjoin (on the people) Al-Ma`ruf (i.e., Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do), and forbid
(people) from Al-Munkar (i.e., polytheism and disbelief of all kinds, and all that Islam has forbidden)''.
(9:71)
"Those among the Children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed by the tongue of Dawud (David) and `Isa
(Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary). That was because they disobeyed (Allah and the Messengers) and were ever
transgressing beyond bounds. They used not to forbid one another from the Munkar (wrong, evildoing, sins,
polytheism, disbelief) which they committed. Vile indeed was what they used to do".
(5:78,79)
"And say: `The truth is from your Rubb.' Then whosoever wills, let him believe; and whosoever wills, let him
disbelieve".
(18:29)
"Therefore proclaim openly (Allah's Message - Islamic Monotheism) that which you are commanded...''
(15:94)
"We rescued those who forbade evil, but with a severe torment. We seized those who did wrong because they
used to rebel against Allah's Command (disobey Allah)".
(7:165)

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Whoever
amongst you sees an evil, he must change it with his hand; if he is unable to do so, then with his tongue; and if he is
unable to do so, then with his heart; and that is the weakest form of Faith".
[Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith contains a very important prescription to prevent the Muslim society from all things
which are forbidden in Islam. So long as Muslims adhered to it and ceaselessly and fearlessly performed their
obligation of enjoining the right and forbidding the wrong, their society was largely safe from many evils and sins.

. Abdullah bin Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Never a
Prophet had been sent before me by Allah to his people but he had, among his people, (his) disciples and
companions, who followed his ways and obeyed his command. Then there came after them their successors who
proclaimed what they did not practise, and practised what they were not commanded to do. And (he) who strove
against them with his hand is a believer; he who strove against them with his heart is a believer; and he who strove
against them with his tongue is a believer ; and beyond that there is no grain of Faith".
[Muslim].
