33 verses in 15 surahs · 10 subtopics
Denouncing wrong is, according to these verses, a defining feature of Islam, illustrated by the youths of the Cave, by Luqman counseling his son and by the man from the town to which the messengers came. They praise those who enjoin good, make it a duty of the community, and set what is right and fitting (al-maʿruf) as the basis of life with one’s wife and with one’s parents.

يَٰنِسَآءَ ٱلنَّبِىِّ لَسْتُنَّ كَأَحَدٍ مِّنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ إِنِ ٱتَّقَيْتُنَّ فَلَا تَخْضَعْنَ بِٱلْقَوْلِ فَيَطْمَعَ ٱلَّذِى فِى قَلْبِهِۦ مَرَضٌ وَقُلْنَ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوفًا ٣٢
O wives of the Prophet, you are not like anyone among women. If you fear Allāh, then do not be soft in speech [to men], lest he in whose heart is disease should covet, but speak with appropriate speech.
