Question:
What is the punishment that Allah threatened for one who sees an evil and does not change it with his tongue, while he is able to do so?
Answer:
As Allah said in Surat al-Ma'idah: [al-Ma'idah: 78, 79] They are threatened with the curse and being driven away from mercy; we ask Allah for safety. And in the authentic hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: We ask Allah for safety.
What is the punishment that Allah threatened for one who sees an evil and does not change it with his tongue, while he is able to do so?
Answer:
As Allah said in Surat al-Ma'idah:
(78) Cursed were those who disbelieved among the Children of Israel by the tongue of David and of Jesus, the son of Mary. That was because they disobeyed and [habitually] transgressed. (79) They used not to prevent one another from wrongdoing that they did. How wretched was that which they were doing.
لُعِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى لِسَانِ دَاوُودَ وَعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ ذَلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوْا وَكَانُوا يَعْتَدُونَ كَانُوا لَا يَتَنَاهَوْنَ عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ فَعَلُوهُ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَIf people see an evil and do not change it, it is likely that Allah will encompass them with His punishment.
إن الناس إذا رأوا المنكر ولم يغيّروه أوشك أن يعمّهم الله بعقاب
