A believer confined in the School of Yusuf is educated through
the hardship he endures there, but he also educates those around
him. Allah demands of believers that they command good and for-
bid evil. This is one of the most important duties upon the believer.
He must teach others the morality of the Qur’an. In that way he
leads others to the right path, that they may exchange their evil
habits for ones more pleasing to Allah. He may also encourage them
to perform their prayers, and remind them of the Hereafter. Allah
declared, in the following verse, that He requires the presence of
such a group among the believers in every era:
Let there be a community among you who call to the good,
and enjoin the right, and forbid the wrong. They are the ones
who have success. (Surah Al ‘Imran, 104)
A believer confined in the School of Yusuf will fulfill this duty if
he is disposed with the means to do so. The School of Yusuf is a
place full of people who need to be warned of the Hereafter and to
fear Allah. The great majority of the guilty there would not have
been there if they had feared Allah and respected His limits. The
