From Author:

Indeed, calling to Allāh, enjoining good, and forbidding evil is a great foundational principle of Islām. Some scholars have even considered it among the pillars of Islām upon which its structure does not stand without. And this is not surprising, for the well-being of the servants in their livelihood depends upon obedience to Allāh and His Messenger, and perfecting that obedience is dependent upon enjoining good and forbidding evil. By way of this, this Ummah has become the best nation brought forth for mankind.
Due to the lofty position of this principle in the religion, and because most people in this era have become negligent regarding it — many abandoning it entirely, while others show undue leniency — the result has been the widespread emergence and dominance of evil, to the point that land, sea, and sky have become filled with it.
Thus, I saw it suitable to write a brief treatise on this matter, in which I clarify the great importance of this obligation, the consequences of neglecting it, and the discussions that follow from it, despite my limited capacity in doing so, hoping to fulfill at least part of the duty. Even though I am not among the people of that path.

Island the lofty position of this principle in the religion, and because
Il praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all creation. We praise Him,Book A "ek istis help, ask His forgiveness, and seek His guidance. He
commands justice, excellence, and giving to relatives. He forbids immorality, wrongdoing, and oppression as an admonition from Him, the Exalted, to His servants so that they may take heed. May blessings and peace be upon His servant and Messenger, our Prophet Muḥammad, the best of those who call to the path of his Lord with wisdom and good preaching, upon insight. He enjoins good and forbids evil, and he patiently bears what befalls him, seeking the Face of Allah, fulfilling the mission of his Lord, conveying the trust, advising creation, and guiding them. May blessings and peace also be upon his family, his companions, and those who follow him in advising creation, calling them to Allah, commanding them with good, and forbidding them from evil. They are the ones of whom Allāh says:
قُلْ هَذِهِ سَبِيلِي أَدْعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ عَلَى بَصِيرَةٍ أَنَا وَ مَنِ اتَّبَعَنِي

I have arranged the treatise into an introduction, three chapters, and a conclusion.
The Introduction Includes:
1. The linguistic meaning of ma'ruf (good) and munkar (evil).
