الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ القَصَصِ (28:78)
قَالَ
إِنَّمَا أُوتِيتُهُ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عِندِي ۚ أَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَهْلَكَ مِن قَبْلِهِ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ مَنْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ قُوَّةً وَأَكْثَرُ جَمْعًا ۚ وَلَا يُسْأَلُ عَن ذُنُوبِهِمُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ
( سُورَةُ القَصَصِ (28:78) )

Translation: " And let them not turn you (O Muhammad!) away from (preaching) the revelations of Allah after they have been revealed to you. Invite (men) to (believe in) your Lord and be not of those who associate partners with Allah. * " (28: 78) And

الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ المَائـِدَةِ (5:2)
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُحِلُّوا شَعَائِرَ اللَّهِ وَلَا الشَّهْرَ الْحَرَامَ وَلَا الْهَدْيَ وَلَا الْقَلَائِدَ وَلَا آمِّينَ الْبَيْتَ الْحَرَامَ يَبْتَغُونَ فَضْلًا مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَرِضْوَانًا ۚ وَإِذَا حَلَلْتُمْ فَاصْطَادُوا ۚ وَلَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَآنُ قَوْمٍ أَن صَدُّوكُمْ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ أَن تَعْتَدُوا ۘ وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ ۖ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ
( سُورَةُ المَائـِدَةِ (5:2) )

Translation: " O you who believe! Violate not the sanctity of the Symbols of Allah, nor of the sacred month (s), nor of the animals brought for sacrifice, nor the garlands that mark out such animals (driven as sacrifices), nor the people resorting to the Sacred House, seeking of the bounty and good pleasure of their Lord. But when you abandon the state of Ihram you may hunt, and let not the hatred of some people for (once) shutting you out of the Sacred Mosque lead you to transgression (and hostility). Help one another in righteousness and piety, but do not help one another in sin and rancor. Fear Allah, for Allah is strict in punishment. * " (5: 2) And

الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ آلِ عِمۡرَانَ (3:104)
وَلْتَكُن مِّنكُمْ أُمَّةٌ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى الْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ ۚ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ
( سُورَةُ آلِ عِمۡرَانَ (3:104) )

Translation: " Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good (Islam), enjoining what is just and forbidding what is unjust. And it is they who are the successful. * " (3: 104).

Translation: As to the Hadiths, it is sufficient to mention the following Hadith.

۱۳۱ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدِ : أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النبي صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ : الْأُعْطِيَنَ الرَّايَةَ رَجُلًا يَفْتَحُ اللَّهُ ) . عَلَى يَدَيْهِ . فَقَامُوا يَرْجُونَ لِذلِكَ أَيُّهُمْ يُعْطَى ، فَغَدَوْا وَكُلُّهُمْ يَرْجُو أَنْ يُعْطَى فَقَالَ : أَيْنَ عَلِي . فَقِيلَ : يَشْتَكِي عَيْنَيْهِ ، فَأَمَرَ فَدْعِيَ لَهُ ، فَبَصَقَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ ، فَبَرَأَ مَكانَهُ حَتّى كَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِهِ شَيْءٌ ، فَقَالَ : نُقَاتِلُهُمْ حَتَّى يَكُونُوا مِثْلُنَا فَقَالَ : عَلَى رسلك ، حَتّى تَنْزِلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ ، ثُمَََّّّ ادْعُهُمْ إِلَى الإسلَام ، وَأَخْبِرْهُمْ بِمَا يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ ، فَوَالٍلَّهِ لأَنْ يُهْدَى بِكَ رَجُلٌ وَاحِدٌ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ حُمْرِ النَّعَمِ . رواه البخاري

Translation: 131 Sahl ibn Sa'ad Narrated that he heard the Prophet on the day (of the battle) of Khaybar saying: " I will give the flag to a person at whose hands Allah will grant victory. So, the companions of the Prophet got up, wishing eagerly to see to whom the flag will be given, and each one of them wished to be given the flag. But the Prophet ﷺ asked for Ali. Someone informed him that he was suffering from eye trouble. So, he ordered them to bring Ali to him. Then the Prophet spat in his eyes and his eyes were cured immediately, as if he had never had any eye trouble. Ali said: ' We will fight against them until they become like us (Muslims). The Prophet said: “ Be patient, until you face them and invite them to Islam and inform them of what Allah has enjoined upon them. By Allah! If a single person reverts to Islam at your hands (i.e. through you), that will be better for you than the red camels. " (Bukhari)
