The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said that a believer is a mirror to one another. A mirror shows you things that you otherwise cannot see. It shows your flaws that you otherwise cannot see. For a believer to a believer, you are a spiritual mirror for the other believer. That means there is a necessary cleansing that you have to do to yourself and there is a function you have to the believers. If you don't cleanse yourself and serve that function, then you are a defective mirror. The collective decay of mankind is tied to people unwillingness to advise one another anymore. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam mentioned that people will remain in good so long as they enjoin good and forbid evil.
وَٱلْعَصْرِ ﴿١﴾ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَفِى خُسْرٍ ﴿٢﴾ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ ﴿٣﴾
By time, (1) Indeed, mankind is in loss, (2) Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience. (3) [Quran, Al Asr]
May Allah grant us noble character. Aameen
