COMMANDING RIGHT AND FORBIDDING WRONG IN ISLAMIC THOUGHT MICHAEL COOK Cambridge University Press COMMANDING RIGHT AND FORBIDDING WRONG IN ISLAMIC THOUGHT What kind of duty we have to try to stop other people doing wrong? The question is intelligible in just about any culture, but few of them seek to answer it in a rigorous fashion The most striking exception is found in the Islamic tradition, where ‘commanding right and forbidding wrong’ is a central moral tenet already mentioned in the Koran As a historian of Islam whose research has ranged widely over space and time, Michael Cook is well placed to interpret this complex yet fascinating subject His book, which represents the first sustained attempt to map the history of Islamic reflection on this obligation, covers the origins of Muslim thinking about ‘forbidding wrong’, the relevant doctrinal developments over the centuries in all the major Islamic sects and schools, and its significance in Sunnı¯ and Shı¯ ite thought today In this way, the book contributes to the understanding of contemporary Islamic politics and ideology and raises fundamental questions for the comparative study of ethics M I C H A E L C O O K is Cleveland E Dodge Professor

local train station in Chicago in the presence of several people A brief account of the incident appeared that Sunday in the New York Times, based on what the police had said on the Friday.1 The salient feature of the incident in this account was that nobody had moved to help the victim, and her cries had gone unheeded – for all that the rape took place during the rush hour As Detective Daisy Martin put it: ‘Several people were looking and she asked them for help, and no one would help.’ A longer account which likewise appeared on the Sunday in the Chicago Tribune placed the matter in a very different light Quoting what the police had said on the Saturday, the article began by stating that six bystanders were to be recommended for citizen’s awards for their work in helping the police arrest and identify the suspect The account that followed emphasised two features of the situation which did not emerge from the notice in the Times The first was that the rape took place in a part of the station to which access was blocked by an exit-only turnstile The second was that the bystanders were confused in their understanding of what was going on: the rapist had ordered his victim to smile, which she did Although at one point she reportedly mouthed the word ‘help’, it was only after her assailant had run off that she screamed Initially, at least, the bystanders took the woman to be engaged in voluntary sex But one young bystander, Randy Kyles, took a second look and thought, ‘Man, this is strange.’ Something seemed not to be right, so he did not get on his train when it came in (Others on the platform, by contrast, remarked that what was happening was weird, but nevertheless boarded the train.) When the victim ran up the steps screaming that she had been raped, Kyles chased The New York Times, 25 September 1988, 33 The Chicago Tribune, 25 September 1988, Section 2, All further information on the incident is taken from this account 688 • I N D E X Munajjid, S·ala¯h· al-Dı¯n al-, 46 n 1, 518 n 89 Muna¯wı¯ (d 1031/1622), 356 Munı¯r ibn al-Nayyir al-Ja la¯nı¯ (late 2nd/8th or early 3rd/9th cent.), 405 n 86 munkar, see wrong Munshi Ihsanullah, 186f Muntaz·irı¯, H · usayn- Alı¯, 532, 537f., 538 n 227, 541, 553 Muqaddas al-Ardabı¯lı¯ (d 993/1585), 284 n 225, 285, 286f., 288, 289 n 250, 292, 295 n 288, 297 Muqaddası¯ (fl second half of 4th/10th cent.), 121 Muqa¯til ibn Sulayma¯n (d 150/767f.), 18 n 18, 21 n 37, 22–4, 25 n 50, 26 n 60 Muqtafı¯, al- (r 530–55/1136–60), 125, 457 n 213 Muraqqish al-Akbar (Ja¯hilı¯ poet), 567 murder (forbidding murder), 212, 367 n 63, 381 see also adverse consequences;
