How can Muslims cooperate in righteousness and piety in light of the noble verse, and how can one who desires organized work operate in the absence of organization, utilizing available circumstances and opportunities?
Allah created humans weak, in need of cooperating with others in matters of this world and religion. Allah Almighty commanded Muslims to cooperate in righteousness and piety, which includes all good qualities, among them: enjoining good and forbidding evil, calling to Allah, teaching the ignorant, helping the distressed, supporting the oppressed, and reconciling between Muslims. A Muslim can serve Islam without joining a party or group, by doing what they can of sermons, lessons, and da'wah (calling to Islam), or by supporting those who do so. One should not cooperate with sects and groups that contradict the belief of the Salaf or the methodology of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama'ah. As for groups that call to Islam and have some legitimate religious deviations, a Muslim cooperates with them in what conforms to the Sharia. If a Muslim cannot cooperate in an organized manner, then let them cooperate with individuals with whom they can study beneficial knowledge and spread good.
