Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Is it not obligatory for every Muslim to call to Allah to the extent of his ability, acting in accordance with the saying of Allah the Exalted, or the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2669Sahih (Darussalam) the hadith, and that danger and evil only spread when the general public remain silent regarding the call to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He?
The Shaykh:
It is obligatory upon you. And if calling to Allah is obligatory, a person, according to his knowledge, if he sees what is wrong, he must forbid it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saidSahih Muslim 49a let him change it with his hand, from the hadith, and the Lord says, Glorified and Exalted is He, among you is one who calls to the Khayr (good) and calls to the Khayr and to what is wrong, but the important thing is that one does not call to Allah except with insight, with knowledge. He says this is the way; he calls to Allah with insight. Knowledge is necessary. As for the ignorant person, he cannot, he cannot, he cannot do more than what is valid.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Is it not obligatory for every Muslim to call to Allah to the extent of his ability, acting in accordance with the saying of Allah the Exalted, or the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
Convey from me, even if it be an Ayah
بلغوا عني ولو آيةThe Shaykh:
It is obligatory upon you. And if calling to Allah is obligatory, a person, according to his knowledge, if he sees what is wrong, he must forbid it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
He who amongst you sees something abominable
من رأى منكم منكرا
