He called it, together, "Enjoining the Command of God," a concept that encompasses working to implement all that God has commanded to be implemented, and working to prevent all that God has commanded to be prevented, whether small or large. This is understood from his saying: "Corruption is not permissible, whether little or much," and that whoever prevents one obligatory act is like one who prevents all obligatory acts, and whoever prevents a single halter is like one who prevents the entire Sharia. And whoever transgresses against a speck of falsehood is like one who transgresses against all falsehood. How evident this comprehensive concept of enjoining the command of God is in his practical conduct, where he would not pass by a wrong without seeking to change it. We saw in his return journey many instances of breaking wine jars, smashing musical instruments, and dispersing idle gatherings with the intermingling of men and women. He admonished the princes and spoke sternly to them, and then drew his sword against the Sultan. This comprehensive concept of enjoining the command of God made it an immediate obligation for Ibn Tumart, which could not be delayed. This is implied by his saying: "Enjoining the command of God is obligatory, and it is immediate, and delay is not permissible." It seems he made it an individual obligation, not a communal one, as the Mu'tazila and Ash'ariyah hold. This is evident from his saying: "Corruption must be repelled by all," and "Corruption is not permissible, whether little or much." This individual obligation was necessitated by the concept of generalization, by which enjoining the command of God became equivalent to the absolute call to God, which is an individual obligation for those who are capable. Enjoining the command of God reaches a degree of importance for the Mahdi where it is prioritized over self and wealth. If he knew that enjoining one of God's commands would lead to the destruction of the self or the loss of wealth, he would still consider it obligatory. This is the meaning of his saying: "Observing the enjoining of God's command is more important than the shedding of blood and the loss of selves and wealth." The practical approach that led to this destruction was the call to the Mahdi. Ibn Tumart, Kitab al-Qawa'id: 256. Same source and page.
