00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.900
Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:13.900
Justice and moderation in enjoining good and forbidding evil

00:00:13.900 --> 00:00:18.410
The Shari'ah has indeed set controls for enjoining and forbidding

00:00:18.410 --> 00:00:24.410
which make it a means for spreading good and what Allah loves and is pleased with

00:00:24.410 --> 00:00:29.410
and preventing evil, or mitigating it, from what Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, detests.

00:00:29.410 --> 00:00:34.409
And restraining the corruptors and preventing them from spreading their corruption.

00:00:34.409 --> 00:00:36.409
And based on the foregoing,

00:00:36.409 --> 00:00:40.409
enjoining good should be done with good conduct,

00:00:40.409 --> 00:00:44.409
and forbidding evil should not be done with evil.

00:00:44.409 --> 00:00:48.409
Meaning that enjoining and forbidding should achieve their purpose.

00:00:48.409 --> 00:00:54.409
So, if forbidding an evil results in a greater evil and corruption than it,

00:00:54.409 --> 00:00:56.409
then it is not permissible to forbid it.

00:00:56.409 --> 00:01:02.409
And if enjoining good results in a greater evil and corruption than it,

00:01:02.409 --> 00:01:04.409
then this enjoining should be abandoned.

00:01:04.409 --> 00:01:12.409
Conversely, enjoining and forbidding should not be abandoned out of a vague fear of sedition and corruption that might result from them.

00:01:12.409 --> 00:01:15.599
So the concept of justice in enjoining and forbidding, therefore,

00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.599
is moderation between those who neglect enjoining and forbidding

00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:24.599
out of fear of sedition and the imagined corruptions that result from it,

00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:28.599
as adopted by the Murji'ah and the people of immorality and corruption,

00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:33.599
and those who do not consider the benefits and harms and the ultimate consequences of enjoining and forbidding,

00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:37.599
as is the case with the Khawarij and those influenced by them.
