Allah (SWT) ya umurta a cikin surah Al-Imran:

Allah (swt) commands in surah al-Imran:

"Ya kamata a cikinku ya kasance akwai wata al'umma (ƙungiya/ƙungiyoyin mutane) da ke kira zuwa ga alheri (khayr), suna umurni da abin da yake daidai (ma'ruf) suna hani daga abin da yake munanan (munkar). Waɗannan su ne masu rabauta." [TMQ 3:104].

“There should be from among you an Ummah (band(s) of people) inviting to the good (khayr), commanding what is right (ma‘ruf) and forbidding what is wrong (munkar). Those are they who are the successful.” [TMQ 3:104].
