Responsibility, Goodness, Divine Punishment, RequirementsAbstract
The great responsibility of inviting goodness and forbidding evil is the reason for the honor of the Muslim Ummah. God Almighty has specifically ordered the fulfillment of this duty in the Holy Qur'an, but at the same time, with this great responsibility, the office of evil has been ordered. The procedure and the rewards obtained for it have also been described. For centuries, the Muslim Ummah continued to perform this duty and was entitled to the rewards of Allah Almighty, but then they gradually forgot this responsibility and finally completely abandoned it. But abandoned as a result of falling and deserving of Divine punishment, it is necessary that we as Muslims have to fulfill this responsibility again so that we can stand before our Lord in this world and in the hereafter.
