صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب      صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Sayyiduna Jareer Bin ‘Abdullaah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has stated, ‘If respectable people in any nation do not prevent evil, having the power and ability to do so, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will humiliate them’.

(Tanbih-ul-Mughtarrin, pp. 236)

Sayyiduna Anas Bin Maalik رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has stated, ‘The one who hears that a certain person committed a sin and he does not prevent him despite having the power and ability to do so, he will be raised deaf with ears cut off.’ (ibid)

When is it a sin, not to stop sinning?

Dear Islamic brothers! Ponder seriously over both aforementioned narrations repeatedly! There is a warning of being raised deaf with severed ears on the Day of Judgement for such people who do not prevent sinners from committing sins despite having the ability and power to do so. People experience such situations daily; some people continue committing ‘sins void of pleasure’ due to their negligence or ignorance. If we believe that a sinner will stop his sins if we forbid him but we do not do so due to our laziness or shame, then we become deserving of being a sinner and of Hell-fire.

Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه describes his own experience: When I forbade Muslim adults from wearing chains or impermissible rings, many people abandoned wearing them and some, out of passion, even broke these gold chains, however, everyone does not respond in the same way because everyone does not have such influence upon others, however it is not difficult for influential people to forbid  others from sins and it will become Wajib for them to do so if there is a strong probability that a sinner will stop committing sins.

Unique way of calling towards righteousness by Mufti-e-A’zam

The beloved son of A’la Hadrat, the prestige of the Ahl-us-Sunnah, Mufti-e-A’zam عَـلَيْـهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡاَکۡرَم was very active in such matters. It has been reported in a book named ‘Mufti-e-A’zam ki Istiqamat-o-Karamaat’ page 146 with the reference of ‘Allamah Arshad-ul-Qadiri عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی: The most painful thing for him (Mufti-e-A’zam) was when he found a Muslim disobeying the Shari’ah (Islamic Sacred Law). While fulfilling the duty of ‘اَمۡرٌ بِالۡمَعۡرُوۡفِ وَنَهۡيٌ عَنِ الۡمُنۡكَر’ (enjoining goodness and forbidding evil), he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would treat every individual on the same scale whether they were older or younger, rich or poor, ruler or commoner. This was usual that whoever would attend his company no matter his social standing, if he wore a gold ring, Mufti-e-A’zam would ask him to remove it; in addition, he (Mufti-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه) would make him understand with great care and affection, ‘In accordance
