Commanding Good and Forbidding Evil

And it is one of the most important obligations that the Islamic community performs as a whole . Thus the student of religious sciences and the doctor, the farmer, the engineer, and every individual in the Islamic community is responsible for commanding good and forbidding evil . And the Prophet of Allah pbuhap warned this nation that leaving this will make Allah empower its most evil ones over them . And then they supplicate to Him but they are not answered .^[1] And are there tyrants more evil than the ones who are taking over the nation today? So return to the commanding of good and forbidding of evil, and do not consider the criticism of anyone regarding what you do for Allah, and let the voices be raised in the face of every disobedient one, may Allah have mercy upon us, and take away this calamity . The Almighty said, ﴾And let there be from you a nation inviting to good, commanding what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and those will be the successful .﴿^[2] And it is narrated from them pbut that through commanding of good: obligations are met, sects are secured, gains are bestowed, injustices are prevented, the land is inhabited, the rights will be taken from the oppressors and given back to the oppressed, and people are still in a good state as long as they command good and forbid evil, and work together in doing righteousness, because if they did not do that, the blessings will be removed from them, and they will be empowered against one another and there will be no supporter for them, neither in the earth nor in the skies .^[3]

And the Prophet pbuhap said, ﴾How will it be for you if your women are corrupt, and your youth are debauched, and you did not command good and did not forbid evil?” So it was said to him, “Is that possible, O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “Yes,” and he said, “How will it be for you if you command evil and forbid good?” So it was said to him, “Is that possible O Messenger of Allah?” So he said, “Yes, and this is most evil, how will it be for you if you see the good as evil, and the evil as good?”﴿^[4] So every believing man and woman today should command good and forbid evil, and work day and night to reform the corrupt souls that have come to see the good to be evil and the evil to be good . And praise is to Allah alone .
