English Translation of Tanwir al-Qulub by Shaykh Muhammad Amin al-Kurdi Naqshbandi RA
Excerpt : Allah Ta'ala says, "Invite people to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good
advice, and argue with them in a good way..."
Allah says: "Who has better words than those who call upon Allah, do righteous
deeds and say: Surely I am among those who surrender."
Allah says: "And let there be among you a people who call to virtue, enjoining the
good and forbidding the evil, they are the fortunate ones."
The above verses are evidence of the obligation to carry out al-amru bil-ma'raf wan-
nahyu 'anil-munkar (calling for good and preventing evil). This obligation has been
affirmed in the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet. This obligation is one of the
greatest shar'i obligations, one of the most sublime principles of Shari'ah and its most
solid pillar. With al-amru bil-ma'rif wan-nahyu 'anil-munkar the shari'a order becomes
firm and noble. Calling for goodness and preventing evil are two perfect virtues. Allah
has commanded His servants to carry out these obligations. The Messenger of Allah peace be upon him, said: "Whoever invites people to the path of guidance, he will be
rewarded as much as the reward of those who follow him without diminishing their
reward in the least. And whoever invites people to misguidance, for him is as much
sin as the prayers of those who follow him without diminishing the weight of their
prayers." This hadith was narrated by Imam Muslim, Abu Dawud, at-Tirmidhi, an-
Nasa'i and Ibn Majah.
Calling people to return to Allah, preaching to His way and calling them to religion
and obedience to Him is the nature of the prophets and messengers. This was the
task that Allah commanded and enjoined upon them. This is also what is followed by
their successors, namely the scholars who truly practice their knowledge and the
righteous saints. They always invite people to the path of Allah and call for obedience to Him, with words and deeds that are full of sincerity and
enthusiasm for the sake of Allah's pleasure. They continue to do so because of their
affection for His servants, because of the reward He has promised and to emulate
His messenger.
