Commentary
It has been
described by Allah Almighty in this verse that abstinence, alliance and
concordance in national life, Islamic brother-hood and other common excellence
may remain until a group from the Muslims stand firm for inviting and conveying
the message of Islam to non-believers. They should call the entire people of
the world towards the Holy Qur’an and
the traditions of Last Prophet Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon him) with their words and deeds. And when they feel that the people are
disregarding the goodness and have involved in the evils, then they should
cause to turn their attention towards the virtue, enjoin the right conduct and
forbid them from evil deeds.
It is clear that
this work can be done only by those people who may distinguish between good and
bad, aware perfectly of the teachings of Holy Qur’an and they should also be able to look for the opportunity.
Otherwise, it is also possible that either an uncivilized/ignorant person will
create more infringement instead of correction by supposing the goodness as badness
and the badness as goodness, or he may adopt any such method, which may cause
to increase their infidelity.
Existence of such
group has remained in every times and period, which has been trying its best to
invite the people to goodness, enjoin the right conduct and forbid them from
belief in a plurality of Allah Almighty, idolatry, infidelity, irreligious and
worship of superstition. Islam has been spreading only due to their cause,
while the depravity, opposition, mischief and brawl are spreading commonly.
Essentially, this type of group should be supported, more and more people
should be connected with it. They should perform following three duties by bringing
their full possible means in function with complete exertion and earnestness:
· Da’-wah ‘ilal-khayri - (invitation
towards goodness), by conveying the Message of Islam to non-believers.
· ‘Amr bil-ma’-ruufi - (enjoining
right conduct), to spread the goodness imperatively, put the public on the path
of goodness.
· Nahii ‘anil-munkar - (to
forbid the wrong), to stop the badness and evils from the nation and the state
with an explicit command.
As though it is the duty of the chastiser group to
invite the people towards goodness, enjoin the right conduct and forbid the wrong
with full strength and power practically.
