Page 279 - A Call For Unity
P. 279
Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)
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)
