Apathy Condemned
[5:79] They did not enjoin one another from committing evil. Miserable indeed is what they did.
Believers uphold the truth and also remind in a nice and compassionate way.
Group think = doing things because the group you are a part of put pressure to behave & conform a certain way.
Group think promotes apathy. One with God is the majority. Do what is right regardless of the group. God tells us He gave us the mind, the brain and use them.
[16:78] GOD brought you out of your mothers’ bellies knowing nothing, and He gave you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brains, that you may be appreciative.
We are accountable for our actions and no one else.
[3:110] You are the best community ever raised among the people: you advocate righteousness and forbid evil, and you believe in GOD. If the followers of the scripture believed, it would be better for them. Some of them do believe, but the majority of them are wicked.
Peer pressure is a bad thing. Trust in God. No leaf falls without His permission.
Social Pressure: A Profound Disaster
[29:25] He said, “You worship beside GOD powerless idols due to peer pressure, just to preserve some friendship among you in this worldly life. But then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will disown one another, and curse one another. Your destiny is Hell, wherein you cannot help one another.”
