The Clear and Most Manifest Word on Calling to Allah Enjoining Good & Forbidding Evil By Shaykh Abdul Aziz Ibn Abdullah Al-Raajihi

Calling to Allah, enjoining good, and forbidding evil are not peripheral acts of extra piety — they are described by the scholars as foundational obligations of this religion, ones that Ahlus-Sunnah affirms as pillars upon which the uprightness of this ummah depends. The Clear and Most Manifest Word on Calling to Allah, Enjoining Good, and Forbidding Evil by Shaykh Abdul Aziz ibn Abdullah al-Raajihi is a concise but comprehensive treatise on all three obligations together — their evidential basis, their importance, the consequences of their neglect, and the correct way to fulfill them.

What This Book Covers

The Obligation of Calling to Allah

Da'wah ilallah — calling people to Allah — is established in the Qur'an and Sunnah as an obligation upon the Muslim community. The Shaykh establishes the textual basis for this obligation, the conditions and qualities required of the caller, and the method of da'wah as understood by the Salaf: with wisdom, good instruction, and argument in the best manner (Surah al-Nahl: 125).

Enjoining Good and Forbidding Evil — al-Amr bil Ma'roof wa al-Nahy 'an al-Munkar

This ummah was described in the Qur'an as the best nation brought forth for mankind specifically because it enjoins good and forbids evil and believes in Allah. The Shaykh covers the obligation in full — its three levels (by the hand, by the tongue, by the heart), the conditions that govern each level, who is obligated to act, and the consequences of the ummah abandoning this obligation collectively.

The Consequences of Neglect

The widespread neglect of these obligations in the modern era — many abandoning them entirely, others showing excessive leniency — is addressed directly. Shaykh al-Raajihi draws from the Qur'an and Sunnah to show what this neglect means for the Muslim community and why reviving these obligations is inseparable from reviving the religion itself.

Who This Book Is For

Every Muslim who wants to understand three of the most important obligations in Islam from their evidential foundation — and particularly anyone involved in da'wah, Islamic teaching, or community leadership. Published by Al-Ihsan Publications.
