Ma’roof and Munkar (Enjoining what is Right & Forbidding What is Wrong) By : Jalaludin Umari Urging people to do what is right and to avoid doing wrong is a basic precept in islam . This command of allah is mentiones in verse after verse of the quran. The Messenger of Allah,Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) reinforced Allah’s command with Directives to the muslim Ummah to enjoin right conduct and forbid wrongdoing. As Muslims , we often read these verses and hadiths without fully understanding their significance to us and to our society . The Author has compiled the most important statements of classical and more recent scholars to explain and comment on what it means,in practical terms to enjoin what is good and right and forbid what is wrong.

Shaykh Muhammad Salih al-Munajjid’s little book is perhaps one of the most widely-circulated among Muslims today. This is because the topic touches worshippers where it hurts—we know that we often lapse into an automatic sort of prayer when we lose concentration. The Shaykh points out that this loss of concentration really stems from a lack of humility and devotion—in Arabic, khushoo‘. His aim in writing this book is to help us to get back that khushoo‘. His step-by-step approach makes it simple. He gives practical advice and uses the excellent example of the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace be upon him) to guide us, so that as worshippers, we can truly return to a state of humility and devotion before the Lord.
