A good Muslim works upon himself to be a good human being. He or she observes prayers, fasting, alms giving, Hajj and a clean virtuous way of life.

The goal is to be a healthy, solid, and strong brick. But what is the value of a strong brick if it remains an isolated solitary one? Islam requires that bricks should form a building; and that individuals should form an Umma. The Quran says: “Let there be formed out of you an Umma. [This Umma would not live for itself but for a message with which it is entrusted:] enjoin good and forbid evil...” (3:104)

Our field of action is the whole humanity and we will be closely watched in performing our task. The Quran says, “And in this, the messenger will be a witness over the people.” (22:78)
