The most important social
principal of Islam is
“Bidding the GOOD &
FORBIDDING THE EVIL”
Amr bil
Ma’-ruuf wa nahii ‘anil munkar
Lesson
Those matters are kept on
different places in the Holy Qur’aan like
these verses, which Allaah Almighty
desires to teach the humankind. From the beginning of this Chapter (Surah), some commands regarding some
works to be done and some are forbidden as ‘Amr bil Ma’-ruuf wa Nahii ‘anil
Munkar (Bidding the Good and Forbidding the Evil) are being
explained. It can be understood clearly by thinking into them deeply that Which
the Way of our life is suitable?
Today it is commanded: Know that Allaah Almighty is
Severe in punishment, and He also is Forgiving and Merciful. Then the same
verse has been repeated that the duty of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon Him) is only to convey the Message properly. Every matter of
everyone is with Allaah Almighty in
future. He knows the open and hidden deeds of every person. We can understand clearly, if we deem that
“The human being should understand well efficiently before starting one’s works
that the Creator of entire works, the world and one’s own, is One, only Allaah (God), Who is Mighty and Master of
all creatures, and the entire are His servants and slaves. Neither can any
person give anything to anyone, and nor can anybody snatch but Allaah. Without His order, neither can
anyone harm someone, nor favor without His Will. So neither there is any need
to be frightened from any person, nor want of flatter/worship to any creature.
He will punish severely to the evildoers and is Forgiving for them, who request
Him humbly and bow in front of Him hopelessly. The evils and sins are those acts
and deeds, which have been forbidden by Him in Holy Qur’aan, revealed on His Last Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him). And the good works are
those, which have been enjoined by Him to be done. Therefore, there is no purpose of our life other than that we should
obey His commands, do that what His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him) says, and refrain from that, from which He (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) forbids us. That entire is useless which we do
without or against His command.
In the previous section, the
Muslims were prohibited that they should not fix the lawful and pure things as
unlawful for themselves, and it was told that they should give up those some
things, which are impure and the evil. It was signified that the evil things
are those, due to which Satan gets opportunity to cause to fight and raise
disturbance mutually between the human beings. On the contrary, Allaah Almighty has kept very big
advantages in the good, pure and lawful things. The aim to cause to understand
from it was that certainly those deeds and things are harmful for the human
beings, which are forbidden by Allaah
Almighty. And certainly those deeds and things are useful and advantageous for
the mankind, either in the world or on the Day of Resurrection, which are
commanded by Him to be done. Therefore, the Muslims should stop those acts
immediately, about which Allaah
Almighty has forbidden and do those acts immediately, about which He has
enjoined to do, because it is impossible that Allaah Almighty bids to do a deed and there is no usefulness in
that command.
The verse under discussion today,
makes the same subject known clearly that science of human being is not
sufficient to know the good and the evil of the things/acts. So they should be
told that pure things and impure things will never be alike in grades. If the
pure thing is even less in quantity, even then that is better than the impure
in plenty. Although, the evil becomes public in each direction and the people
are taken in that the thing, which has become prevalent, would be good. If the
evil has spread everywhere and the people do it in plenty, then it does not
mean that it would be good. Goodness and badness of anything depends on the
command of Allaah Almighty.
At the end of the last verse it has been
described that the men of understanding should be mindful of their duty to Allaah Almighty. Hope of their
liberation is in it only. Another hint has come out in this verse also that the
decision should not depend on the majority of votes or opinions, but it should
be according to the commands of Allaah
Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).
