Advising on the Right and Its Role in the Realization of the Community of Faith with Emphasis on Verse 3 of Surah Asr

Since every society needs to be built based on the principles and foundations of the school of thoughts it believes in, for its progress and advancement, the community of faith must also be built based on certain principles and foundations. Many verses of the Holy Qur'an have the mission of introducing the foundations of the community of faith; as in the third verse of Surah Asr, one of the fundamental principles of the community of faith i.e. advising on the right is introduced. The current study has been carried out with the aim of explaining the advice to the right and its role in the realization of the community of faith via a descriptive-analytical method. The findings of the study suggest that advising on the right is a public invitation to follow the right so that everyone knows the right and avoids falsehood. This sense of mutual responsibility will bring for society some gifts including the realization of social justice, the creation of unity and solidarity, the non-pervasiveness of the oppressors' sedition, victory over the enemies, avoiding losses and the preparation of the society for the reappearance of Imam Mahdi. Undoubtedly, each of these components will lead the society one step towards becoming a community of faith.
