Explaining the Effective Characteristics in Connecting People to the Faith Community From the perspective of the Holy Quran

A faith community is a society where the spirit of faith and the teachings of the holy religion of Islam exists among the individuals, laws and practical obligations (orders) of that society. A faith community is also a society where the insights, tendencies and actions of people in all individual and social dimensions are at the disposal of religion and have a religious purpose. The concept of society in the Qur'an is used with terms such as Ummat (امه, community), creed (Arabic: مله, communion), nation, people (Arabic: قوم), tribe (Arabic: قبیله), ʿAshīra (Arabic: عشیره, kindred), clan (Arabic: طائفه), Qarn (Arabic: قرن, generation), Nas (Arabic: ناس, mankind), etc. People need to build a faith community in order to become a faithful society by relying on their attitudes, tendencies and behaviors. The criteria for a community of faith based on religious teachings can be achieved from the Holy Quran. This research has explained the effective features in relating people to the faith community by descriptive analytical method. Joining to the community of faith based on the Holy Quran depends on recognizing and explaining the effective features of insight such as faith in God, prophets, resurrection, guardianship (Arabic: ولایه, Romanized: Wilāyat) knowledge and intellect and effective features of tendency such as piety, Tawakkul (Arabic: توکل, reliance on God), hope and recommend one another to patience (Arabic: تواصی بالصبر) and effective characteristics of action such as righteous deeds (good deeds), enjoining (what is) right and forbidding (what is) evil (Arabic: ٱلامر بٱلمعروف و ٱلنهی عن ٱلمنکر, Romanized: al-amr bi-l-maʿrūf wa-n-nahy ʿani-l-munkar, enjoin the right and forbid the wrong), justice, unity and Infāq (Arabic: الإنفاق, onation) in society.
