Do muslims have a duty to warn others?
« on: March 30, 2018, 08:23:02 PM »
Are there any verses making it a duty upon muslims to warn others? Or was it a duty only for the prophet?

Shalom / peace

Surah ASR

"By time, Indeed, mankind is in loss, Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience."

Peace

Isn't this advising "each other" among the believers only?

Righteous deeds have no value in the afterlife if one lacks faith. Believers pursue truth and patience.

Warning is towards disbelievers.

As-salamu alaykum

I will quote just two examples.

016.125
"Call / Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching / good instruction; and discuss with them in ways that is best / most gracious. Indeed your Lord knows best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance"

041:033
"And who is better in speech than the one that invites to God and does righteous deeds and says: 'Indeed, I am surely of those who submit'?"

I hope this helps, God willing
