Let there be one community of you calling to good to Islam and enjoining decency and forbidding indecency; those that call bid and forbid are the successful the victorious the particle min ‘of’ in minkum ‘of you’ is partitive since what is mentioned is a collective obligation fard kifāya and is not incumbent upon every individual of the community for not every person such as the ignorant is up to it. However it is also said that this particle is extra and what is meant is ‘so that you are a community calling to good and so on’.

"Indeed you shall be aided, capturing, and victorious; so whoever among you sees that, then let him have Taqwa of Allah, and let him command the good and forbid the evil, and whoever lies about me on purpose, then let him take his seat in the Fire."

Sunan Ibn Majah #3741It was narrated that ‘Aishah said:Sahih

“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, before you call and you are not answered.’”

Sunan Abu Dawud #5164Narrated Rafi' ibn Makith:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Treating those under one's authority will produce prosperity, but an evil nature produces evil fortune.

Sunan Ibn Majah #3795It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:Sahih

“My nation will pass through five stages. For forty years (they will be) people of righteousness and piety. Then those who follow them, for the next one hundred and twenty years, will be people who show mercy to one another and uphold ties with one another. Then those who follow them for the next one hundred and sixty years will be people who will turn their backs on one another and sever ties with one another. Then there will be Harj after Harj (killing). Seek deliverance, seek deliverance.”
