Enjoining Good And Forbidding Wrong
Enjoining (what is) right and forbidding (what is) evil ( ar, ٱلْأَمْرْ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفْ وَٱلنَّهْيْ عَنِ ٱلْمُنْكَرْ, al-amr bi-l-maʿrūf wa-n-nahy ʿani-l-munkar) are two important duties imposed by God in Islam, as revealed in the Quran and hadith. When these verses are etymologically and literally translated, they do not actually mean "commanding good and forbidding evil". Maruf means known, familiar and the purpose of use in 30 verses is to express custom. Munkar, on the other hand, is derived from the word nekre, meaning obscure, singular or strange and is probably the same as what is expressed today as bid'ah (non-tradition, strange, new inventions, religious practices not included in the sunnah). In the act of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil, the terms used in the discussions of theology, morality and jurisprudence regarding the nature of goodness and evil, what is considered good and what is bad, are "Husn and Kub ...

''Ijmāʿ'' ( ar, إجماع , " consensus") is an Arabic term referring to the consensus or agreement of the Islamic community on a point of Islamic law. Sunni Muslims regard ''ijmā as one of the secondary sources of Sharia law, after the Qur'an, and the Sunnah. Exactly what group should represent the Muslim community in reaching the consensus is not agreed on by the various schools of Islamic jurisprudence. Some believe it should be the Sahaba (the first generation of Muslims) only; others the consensus of the Salaf (the first three generations of Muslims); or the consensus of Islamic lawyers, the jurists and scholars of the Muslim world, i.e. scholarly consensus; or the consensus of all the Muslim world, both scholars and lay people. The opposite of ''ijma'' (i.e., lack of consensus on a point of Islamic law) is called ''ikhtilaf''. Proof of the validity of Ijma In the Quran Imam Al-Shafi'i was once approached by an old man and was asked rearding proof of Ijma fro ...
