The Attack on the Commission for Promoting Virtue and Prohibiting Evil
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: In recent times, there has been a lot of unjustified attack on the Commission for Promoting Virtue and Prohibiting Evil. Is there a word to be said about that?
Answer:
Allah mentioned this in the Qur'an. He, the Exalted, said:[At-Tawbah 9:67]. This has now become apparent from these people who have become enemies of the Commission's men. Why did they become their enemies? They did not become their enemies except because they enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. And they do not want what is right to be enjoined or what is wrong to be forbidden. But Allah will cause them to fail, if Allah wills.
Because our rulers, may Allah preserve them, support the commissions. They are the ones who established the commissions, funded them, and stood behind them. So these disgraced, defeated people will be defeated, if Allah wills, by His might and power. But Allah has exposed their hypocrisy. This is a wisdom from Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Whoever has hypocrisy, it must be exposed so that people know that he is a hypocrite. So these people have wronged themselves. If they had remained silent, no one would have known about them. But when they spoke, their hypocrisy became known, may Allah protect us from that. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

The hypocrite men and hypocrite women are of one another. They enjoin what is wrong and forbid what is right
الْمُنَافِقُونَ وَالْمُنَافِقَاتُ بَعْضُهُم مِّن بَعْضٍ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمُنكَرِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمَعْرُوفِBecause our rulers, may Allah preserve them, support the commissions.
