Our Mission

 “You [believers] are the best Community ever brought forth for [the good of] humankind: You enjoying what is right. And you forbid what is wrong. And you believe in God.” [3:110]

The Quran gives us the clearest possible mission for the Muslim community in the above verse. It is a perfect declaration of the believers' collective purpose in society.

Guiding the human being to right action is, in fact, what the Quran is all about. Rendering that right action operational making it happen in the world was precisely the human mission of the Prophet  Muhammad (s.a.w).

The Prophet (sallallaahu Alayhi Wa sallam) has said: "those who help a Muslim in hardship in this world, will be protected by Allah from suffering hardship in the Hereafter....Allah will help his servants as long as they help their fellow Muslim brothers", (narrated by Muslim and Abu-daud).

"If one of you goes with your brother to help him fulfil his duty, and then the Prophet made a small sign with his fingers and added, that is better for him than making a i'takif in my mosque for two months", (narrated by al-Hakim).

When we look at the Quran and the life of the Prophet in this way, it makes Islam all about changing the individual in order to change society for the good of humankind. This is exactly what our statement from the Quran describes the Muslim communal mission to be.
