Forbidding what is Evil (Arabic: "Nahy an al-Munkar"), is a part of Shia Islam's Branches of Religion and means, for example, to oppose injustice. In a more political and social context, Shi'a are divided: Some believe that one should not take a social stance unless the Imam of time orders so, while others believe in the Waliyat al-Faqih. Those not using the Waliyat al-Faqih are Quietists, al-Sistani being one of them.
