Forbidding what is evil (Arabic: النهي عن المنكر‎ Nahy ana l-Munkar), is a part of Islam and means, for example, to oppose injustice. In a more political and social context, Muslims are divided: Some believe that one should not take a social stance unless the Caliph orders.

[edit] Etymology

It is derived from the Quranic command what is good and forbid what is wrong

The phrase "Forbidding what is Evil" comes from several Qur'anic ayah (verses). "al-Munkar" means literally "the rejected".
