الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر
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.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِٱلْعَدْلِ وَٱلْإِحْسَٰنِ وَإِيتَآئِ ذِى ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَيَنْهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلْفَحْشَآءِ وَٱلْمُنكَرِ وَٱلْبَغْىِ يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ ٩٠
Indeed, Allāh orders justice and good conduct and giving [help] to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded.
