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., dont 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 (Allahs 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 Allahs Command (disobey Allah)". (7:165)
