5x expanded by Mhhossein (talk). Self-nominated at 06:45, 14 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Commanding Right and Forbidding Wrong in Islamic Thought; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- 5x expanded at time of nomination, sourcing is good, article looks good, no copyvios, QPQ done. A correction: I think the comma probably should go outside of the quotation marks, see MOS:LQ. Also, how do you feel about this alternate phrasing?
... that in his 2000 book, Michael Cook argues that the West prefers to "rescue" people after wrongdoing has occurred, while Muslims prefer to "forbid wrong"?
Possibly just me, but it took me a bit to understand the original hook. Hopefully this suggestion captures your intent; please correct or let me know your preferences otherwise. toobigtokale (talk) 07:49, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

- Hi toobigtokale. Thanks for the review. As for your suggestion, that correction even better reflects what I intended to say. So the we have the following:

- Thanks. --Mhhossein talk 08:43, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
