The Weakness of Enjoining Good in Government Departments
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In some government departments and institutions, enjoining good has become very weak. Prayer is abandoned openly, and some employees are neither commanded nor forbidden. Do you not see that the department for enjoining good and forbidding evil should cover them, given the need for that?
Answer:
There are many general orders and efforts being made in this matter. We ask Allah to guide them, rectify their condition, and grant success to the leaders and dignitaries in their work so that others will follow them and be motivated. We ask Allah to help them. There is no doubt that this is very important. If the head of the department, the minister, and others like them are diligent, the others will follow them. We ask Allah to guide everyone.
