They worship and perform rituals as children with insufficient understanding and ignorance. They will not deem asking others to do good and will be prohibiting evil as necessary unless doing so is totally harmless for them. They will seek for themselves permissions and excuses and follow the mistakes of the \u2018mullahs\u2019 and (emulate\/do taqleed) of their invalid deeds.
They will perform Salat and offer fast and will abide by things that will not affect them in matters of their lives and properties. \n If performing Salat would affect their other activities about their properties and their personal interest, they will disregard it just as they reject the highest quality obligations and the noblest ones. \n Asking people to do \u2018good\u2019 and to prohibit them from committing evil is a great obligation by which responsibilities should be fulfilled.
In such case the anger of Allah -azwj becomes complete upon them. His -azwj torment encompasses them; thus, even virtuous people are destroyed in the location of the sinful ones and the children along with the grown-up ones. \n Asking others to do good and prohibiting them from evil is the path of the Prophets -as and the method of the virtuous ones.
It is a great responsibility with which obligations are fulfilled and religions are protected, earnings become lawful, usurped properties are retrieved, the land is developed, justice is made available for even the enemies and the matters are kept upright. \n You must then dislike evil in your hearts, reject it with your tongues, strike it against their faces and do not fear anyone\u2019s blames in matters concerning Allah -azwj .
If people committing evil accepted your advice and returned to the truth then that is fine. \u2018Blameworthy are those who do injustice to people and rebel in the land without any truthful cause, for them there will be painful punishment.\u2019 (42: 42) Against such people you must fight them on a personal level and have hatred for them in your hearts without wanting domination, gaining properties or victory through injustice .
You must continue until they come to the Command of Allah -azwj and to obey Him -azwj .
