Quran Chapter 3- 104 (Pt-4, Stg-1) (L-433) - درس قرآن

Invitation to goodness

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

 وَلْتَكُن مِّنكُمْأُمَّةٌ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ 104

104.  And there may spring from you a nation who invite to goodness, and enjoin right conduct and forbid the wrong. And such are they who are successful.        
104.  Wal-takum-minkum  ‘Umma-tuny-yad-‘uuna  ‘ilal-khayri  wa  ya’-muruuna  bil-ma’-ruufi  wa  yanhawna  ‘anil-munkar.  Wa ‘ulaaa-‘ika  humul-mufli-huun.       

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.
