Obligations in Islam: Establishing a group:

Second Obligation

Establishing a Group ‘Nonviolent and Unarmed’

Prophet  PBUH said!

I give you five instructions!

i.                 Form a group

ii.                Listen to your leader

iii.               Obey your leader

iv.               Migrate in the way of God.

v.                Fight in the way of God.

Third Obligation

This is the third and crucial obligation. The members have to take an oath to listen and obey their leader, who has to be a practicing Muslim well aware and applier of the religious principles and discipline. 

This way the discipline of the group can be achieved. If the struggle to propagate religion requires leaving the land then it has to be done and it would be the highest of sacrifices just like fighting in the way of God is the height of the struggle in preaching and propagating Islam. 

Further there are many sects of Muslims so they have to pray and fast according to their denomination, but when it comes to preaching and propagation, then, they are supposed to listen to and obey the group leader not their local mosque leaders in the prayers who are not practicing or active members of the stated non-sectarian group. So Muslims from any sect can join such a group, unify for this revolutionary cause and propagate Islam in accordance with the guidelines highlighted in the cited text above. 

It has to be reminded here that Dr. Mohammad Iqbal was the founding father of the revival of this concept in Indian subcontinent. Molana Abu ul Ala Maududi succeeded him in the pursuit and then Dr. Israr Ahmed furthered it to a great extent.
