Society is a collection of various individuals who have a lot of diversity in various things. To create a good society is required to good individuals also, to create good individuals also is required religion proselytizing as formation of character and morals (akhlakul karimah), which must be owned by everyone.


Formation of Character and morals
Da’wah according to Islam is to invite people with wise way to the right path according to the commandment of God, for their benefit and happiness in the world and hereafter. In the Qur’an mentioned
أدع إلى سبيل ربّك بالحكمة و الموعظة الحسنة و جادلهم بالتي هي أحسن
“Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious” (An-Nahl: 125)

The above verse ordered us to invite people to the path of Allah, with lessons or by way of a good and wise and discussion with a good way too, because we want to invite the people to goodness it should invite also with a good way not in a way bad.
Islam has put a good social order in society, family, or in public life. In the formation of character and morals there are several factors, such as family. The family is the first facility in the formation of character and morals, because every individual living in the family.
Allah has ordained the family in its spacious. Muslim families do not experience the generation gap because of living together. Family benefits that it provides to its members a friend who is ready chosen each time. There is always someone ready to play, joke, discuss, reflect, cry, etc. This is a pre-requisite for mental health. The family never deserted from the children, adults, women, man, and parents are wiser and more experienced than other family members.
Families are impossing on each of its members discipline and selflessness. Sometimes reducing their privacy. Obviously, it is good for us to be disciplined and voluntarily sacrifice for other. And the best is if we learn discipline at home, guided by people who love us and we love.
In social life of muslim everyday there is a task in a society that must exert namely “ to provide advice to a fellow brother”.
Give each other advice is a fundamental obligation in the teachings “amar ma’ruf nahi munkar”, so that people living in an atmosphere of good, safe and peaceful, so as to create a major social order (khaira ummah)
“Amar ma’ruf nahi munkar” is a humanitarian obligation that must be executed and exert so willingly in the framework Mardhotillah, according to the frame “Tawasha bil haqqi and and tawasha bis shabri”, ie intestate with the truth (Al-haq min rabbika) and fortitude (shabar).
This task does not know hurt. Advice should be framed compassion, and contains the true love one another alive.
Advice to the kindness and advice to leave the banned it, because both want to go to heaven. Both want to avoid hell. And both want to be free from the temptations of the devil.
The goal is the life of human dignity. Social relations are grounded with mahabbah and affection.
