Does Islam really require "religion police"?

From Iran to Saudis to the Taliban, the answer is yes, with two references: the Quranic duty of "commanding the right," the Prophetic institution of hisba.

I challenge this view in my new essay @newlinesmag:

Here are some highlights:

The Quranic duty of "commanding the right and forbidding the wrong" is interestingly worded: the "good" is #maruf, which means "known." It may refer to ethico-legal values that are commonly known — and not necessarily all Sharia.

No wonder, earliest exegetes of the Quran didn't understand "commanding the right" as enforcing all aspects of the Sharia. According to Abu al-Aliya and Muqatil ibn Sulayman, it was about "calling people from polytheism to Islam," not religious coercion.

.........HABIBI AND HABIBATI ............

The household of the prophet sallalahu alayhi wassalam was not a house of indomie and spaghetti or friedrice, it was a house of ibadah!

When your husband is about to drink water ......
Wife: ya habeebi, have u said bismillah?
When you are about to go and bath in the bathroom wit your husband, grab him back and say
Wife: ya habeebi, have u supplicated?

When your husband refuses to wake for tahajjud
Wife: wake up, prayer is better than sleep, fight your desires my love, be stronger than the excuses ..
shaitan whispers to you

If he doesn't still get up, sprinkle water on him
If he doesn't still get up, start reciting your own Quran and recite it aloud so that he wil feel shy to continue sleeping while u recite Quran! He wil be forced to stand up
