Evil’: A Comparative Study with ‘Freedom of Choice’ For Doing Good and
Evil Rejects Every Notion of Coercion

Enjoining good and
forbidding evil is a Qur’anic injunction. Wherever it is mentioned in
the Qur’an, it is just meant for the welfare of mankind, both in the
world and the Hereafter. In fact, this beautiful Islamic doctrine, in
its broader sense, corroborates freedom of choice, justice, tolerance,
balance, mildness, justness, blissfulness and easiness.
That is precisely why
the preachers who implement this Qur’anic injunction earn great virtues
and are called successful in the Qur’an. “And from amongst you there
must be a community comprising the people who invite mankind towards
piety, enjoin righteousness and forbid evil. And they are the successful
people”. (3:104)
However, these
preachers should remember that the Qur’an also says, “There is no
compulsion in the religion” (2:256). ‘Enjoining good and forbidding
evil’ as being one of the parts of the religion negates every idea of
compulsion. So, they cannot use this part as a proof for the enforcement
of even the true Sharia law, let alone the Sharia law being hijacked,
radicalized and misinterpreted by the neo-Kharijites.
‘Enjoining good and
forbidding evil’ does not mean you can force others to live by your own
beliefs. It never denies the people their freedom of choice for doing
good or evil as is manifested in the following Qur’anic verses.
“Verily, those who
turn away from the straight path with regard to (the meanings of) Our
Verses are not hidden from us. Then, is he who is thrown into the Fire
of Hell better, or someone who comes safe and secure (from the torment)
on the Day of Resurrection? Do as you wish. Surely, He sees all that you
do.” (41:40)
