Commanding Right and Forbidding Wrong in Islamic Thought is a 2000 non-fiction book about the evolution of Enjoining good and forbidding wrong in Islam by Michael Cook. The book is a winner of Albert Hourani Book Award and Farabi Award. An epitome of the Michael Cook's book was published under the title Forbidding wrong in Islam in 2003 by the Cambridge University Press. According to Cook, while the first title is organized around "schools, sects, and individuals," the epitome version focuses on the thematic questions.

Reception

The book has been reviewed by Donna Robinson Divine and Ulrike Freitag.

Fred Donner praises the book as the pinnacle of classical philological orientalism, Christopher Melchert, Paul R. Powers, and Andrew Rippen all give positive assessments, and Michael Chamberlain calls it a "masterpiece." Wilfred Madelung adds one paragraph of criticism while at the same time predicting that the book will certainly become "a standard reference work in Islamic studies."
