                mands: "Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and fair
                admonition" (Surat An-Nahl: 125). Other verses commend
                those who call others to Allah and virtue:
                     Let there be a community among you who call to the
                     good, enjoin the right, and forbid the wrong. They are
                     the ones who have success. (Surah Al 'Imran: 104)

                     Those who repent, those who worship, those who praise,
                     those who fast, those who bow, those who prostrate,
                     those who command the right, those who forbid the
                     wrong, and those who preserve the limits set by Allah
                     [for humanity]: give good news to the believers. (Surat
                     At-Tawba: 112)
                     In the Qur'an Allah refers to the People of the Book
                (Christians and Jews) who were given books of revelation by
                Allah and mentions that genuine Jews and Christians called
                others to virtue as well:

                     They are not all the same. There is a community among
                     the People of the Book who are upright. They recite
                     Allah's Signs throughout the night, and they prostrate.
                     They believe in Allah and the Last Day, enjoin the right
                     and forbid the wrong, and compete in doing good. They
                     are among the righteous. (Surah Al 'Imran: 113-114)
                     Among the people of the Book there are some who have
                     iman in Allah and in what has been sent down to you and
                     what was sent down to them, and who are humble before
                     Allah. They do not sell Allah's Signs for a paltry price.
                     Such people will have their reward with their Lord. And
                     Allah is swift at reckoning. (Surah Al 'Imran: 199)
