From the points discussed:
We have needs to ask the people to come together to service the daʿwah (masjids, schools etc.) or an obligation to assist the poor etc. They are communal obligations

Alif-Lam-Mim. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qurʾān and none but Allāh (Alone) knows their meanings]. This is the Book (the Qurʾān), whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqun [the pious and righteous persons who fear Allāh much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allāh much (perform all kin…
