Superiority Complex Leads to Evil CONTENTS

WHEN TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST EVIL Prior to taking action against evil one should think if it will be result-oriented and in conformity with wisdom, otherwise it will be considered rebellion rather than the implementation of an Islamic command. A ccording to a tradition, the Prophet of Islam once observed: “One who sees evil should change it out of hand.” (Sahih Muslim 49) Now let us look at another tradition. The Prophet of Islam once said to Ayesha, his wife: “When the Quraysh rebuilt the Kabah, they did not lay the foundations on the Abrahamic foundations. Some land was left outside of this building. This land initially was part of the Kabah.” Ayesha replied, “O God’s Messenger, why didn’t you rebuild the Kabah according to the Abrahamic foundations?” The Prophet said: “Had the Quraysh not been new Muslims, I would certainly have done so.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 1583)
