Enjoining The Good And Forbidding The Evil 1 of 5

And help you one another in righteousness and piety, and do not help one another in sin and transgression." [Sooratul-Maa'idah 5:2]

And His - the Most Perfect's - saying:

"Let there arise from amongst you a group of people calling to all that is good, enjoining the good and forbidding the evil, they are the ones who are successful."

[Soorah Aali-'Imraan 3:110]

And when the people of truth hold back from clarifying the mistakes of those who have erred or are mistaken, then they will not have achieved that which Allaah ordered them with, as regards calling to goodness, ordering the good and forbidding the evil. So the person in error will remain upon his error, and the one acting in opposition to the truth will remain upon his mistake. And this is contrary to what Allaah - the Most Perfect - prescribed, with regards to sincere advice, co-operation upon goodness, ordering the good and forbidding the evil - and Allaah alone is the One Who grants success." [6]

Shaykhul-lslaam Ibn Taymiyyah - rahimahullaah - said: "Refuting the People of Innovation is a Jihaad, to the extent that Yahyaa Ibn Yahyaa (d.226H) said: "Defence of the Sunnah is more excellent than Jihaad in the Path of Allaah."[7]"[8]

Imaam al-Humaydee (d.218H) - rahimahullaah - said: "By Allaah, that I fight against those who reject the hadeeth of Allaah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) is more beloved to me than fighting the unbelievers." [9]

Imaam Ibnul-Qayyim (d.751H) - rahimahullaah - said: "Jihaad with the clear proofs and the tongue; Comes before Jihaad with the sword and the spear." [10]
