Is enjoining good and forbidding evil an absolute obligation, even if it leads to people's annoyance, and is one sinful if they do not do it? And what are the controls for enjoining good and forbidding evil?

Enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong is one of the great obligations in religion, and it is the greatest pillar for which the prophets were sent. Neglecting it leads to the suspension of prophethood, the decay of religion, and the corruption of lands and people. Enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong does not have to be done in a single way; rather, there are multiple methods and approaches.
