چکیده:
Though personal identity is truly important,
it is essential for a community to likewise have an identity
that is shared by other members of the same group, and to
work in a united way for the same causes. Regardless of
whether it is on a worldwide or lesser scale, establishing a
community is currently becoming more crucial. To consider
a group of people a successful community involves specific
requirements and qualities. The first part of this series
demonstrated the importance of community-building and
Prophet Muhammad’s efforts to put it into practice.
Prioritized qualities were expounded on, such as
truthfulness, trustworthiness, persistence, and maintaining a
healthy balance in working for this world to eventually lead
to a blissful hereafter. This part further builds upon
qualities such as moderation, humbleness, enjoining good
and forbidding wrong, unity, truth, justice, environmental
awareness, and having firm faith in God.

The Islamic community is the best nation in benefiting others In verse 3:110 we read: You are the best nation (ever) brought forth for mankind: you bid what is right and forbid what is wrong and have faith in Allah.
However, what is perhaps sufficient for us is to know that enjoining good, prohibiting bad, and having complete faith in Allah help the Islamic community survive and benefit and serve others.
In both Al-Mizan and Tafseer Nemuneh – two contemporary exegeses of the Qur’an – it is explained that there must exist a group within the Islamic nations who enjoin good and prohibit bad on behalf of the entire community, although to a smaller extent this is also the responsibility of every person."
