Enjoin what is right. . .

One of the most powerful stories I have ever heard was about the man who was punished because he did good but did not encourage good in others.

We cannot stand by and allow evil to triumph. We must do our part, whether in our families, our communities, our cities or our governments.

Machiavelli said that the end justifies the means. But for Muslims, the end means nothing. The end is with Allah. What matters is what we do to get there.

Be good. And encourage good. With your hearts, your tongues and your hands.
