As a matter of principle the Quran makes it obligatory for all
Muslims to command people to act rightly and enjoin what is sanctioned by God (al‑'amr bi al‑maruf) and to forbid them from evil (al‑nahy `an al‑munhar).
And from among you there should be a party who commands to do good and enjoins what is right and forbids the wrong, and they are the successful. (3:104)
You are the best of communities raised up (or mankind; you enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah. And if the People of the
Book had believed, it would have been better for them; of them are believers and most of them are evil‑doers. (3:110)
The propagation of Islam is an essential part of the Divine duty of `commanding to do good and forbidding evil' (al‑'amr bi al‑ma'ruf wa al‑nahy `an al‑munkar).
