Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: How do you reconcile the saying of Allah the Exalted[An-Najm 53:38] with the prescription of enjoining good and forbidding evil?
Answer:
This is not what falls under the verse. This is about the one who does good. The point of the statement is that no one will bear your sins on the Day of Resurrection; that is the meaning of the verse: no one will bear your sins on the Day of Resurrection. As for forbidding evil, that is part of advice. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 4197Sahih (Darussalam) And leaving off the forbidding of evil is a sin, but only to the extent of what one is able to do. However, if one does not forbid evil at all, not even with his heart, then that is a sin, may Allah protect us from it.
