You must enjoin good and forbid evil

O you who have believed, upon you is [responsibility for] yourselves. Those who have gone astray will not harm you when you have been guided. To Allah is you return all together; then He will inform you of what you used to do.

[Qur'aan 5:105]

It was narrated that Qais bin Abu Hazim said:

“Abu Bakr stood up and praised and glorified Allah, then he said: ‘O people, you recite this Verse – “O you who believe! Take care of your own selves. If you follow the (right) guidance no hurt can come to you from those who are in error.”[5:105] – and I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) say: ‘If people see some evil but do not change it, soon Allah will send His punishment upon them all.’” (One of the narrators) Abu Usamah repeated: "Indeed I heard that Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) say."

[Sunan Ibn Maajah Hadith No. 4005]

The above Verse was understood incorrectly by certain people. Abu Bakr (may Allaah be pleased with them) clarified the Verse.

The Sunnah is the Tafsiir of the Qur'aan. We abandon our interpretations of a Qur'aanic Verse when it opposes the Sunnah.

This was the way of the Companions (may Allaah be pleased with them).

Who knows the Religion better than the Companions (may Allaah be pleased with them)?
