Contemplate on the saying of Allaah تعالى:
﴿وَمَا
كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِيُهْلِكَ الْقُرَىٰ بِظُلْمٍ وَأَهْلُهَا مُصْلِحُونَ﴾
{And your Lord would not have
destroyed the cities unjustly while their people were REFORMERS} [Surah Hood (11): 117]
Contemplate on the word that Allaah تعالى said: مصلحون (reformers) and He تعالى did not say: صالحون (righteous).
The difference is that a righteous person works for his own
good alone, whereas the reformer works for himself and for the betterment of
the society as well - enjoining what is good and prohibiting what is evil.
Zainab bint Jahsh رضي الله عنها said:
O Messenger of Allaah! Shall we be destroyed though there will be RIGHTEOUS
people amongst us? The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Yes! When evil would be predominant.” [Saheeh
al-Bukhaaree (3346, 3598, 7059, 7135) and Saheeh Muslim (6881, 6883)]
Narrated Hudhaifah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم
said: “By Him in Whose hand my soul is, you must
enjoin what is reputable and forbid what is disreputable, or Allaah will certainly
soon send punishment from Himself to you. Then you will make supplication and
not receive an answer.” [Tirmidhee
(2169) and graded as “Hasan” by Shaikh
al-Albaanee]
Narrated Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq رضي الله عنه: You people recite this
verse: {You who believe! Care for yourselves; he
who goes astray cannot harm you when you are rightly guided.} [Surah al-Maaidah (5): 105] I heard Allaah's
Messenger صلى
الله عليه وسلم say: “When
people see something objectionable and do not change it, Allaah will soon include
them all in His punishment.” [Sunan
Abu Dawood (4338), and Sunan Ibn Maajah (4005) and Tirmidhee (3057) and graded
as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
