  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi

188. One learns a religious scholar will be held responsible for the sins he sees being committed and does not put a stop to it despite having the power to do so. It is the duty of an Aalim to safeguard himself as well as others.

We further learn that it is incumbent upon the religious scholars to propagate Islam whether by speaking, writing or through their personal action.
