CHAPTER ONE

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

1.1         Background of the Study

In the name of Allah the most gracious, most merciful, praise be to Allah, the Lord of all creatures. The one that sent His messengers with guidance and truth, may He bless the Noble Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) his  companions and  all  those  who  follow  their  path  to  the  Day  of Resurrection. Amin.

The Almighty Allah (SWA) in the glorious Qur’an enjoins the doing of good and forbids the doing of bad. Allah says:

“There should be a group in you who invites others to all that is good and commands them to do good deeds and forbids them against evil deeds. And they shall, indeed, be successful (on the Day of Judgment)”1.

In another verse Allah says:

Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the bearers).2
