诚然，命人行善、禁人作恶，与团体相关的部分，是在界定了伊斯兰教法对团体所要求的工作之后才加以阐述的。这里我们不讨论那些为执行部分教法条规而设立的团体，例如为帮助穷困穆斯林而设立的慈善组织，或以引导和劝诫为宗旨的团体，建造清真寺的团体，教授《古兰经》的团体等等。我们的讨论所针对的，是那些承担起确立整个宗教（dīn）之责任的团体的存在。这一责任通过建立哈里发国来实现，其职能是在穆斯林的生活中确立伊斯兰。它所关心的是使教法所命令的一切善行（ma'roof）得以实现，并消除教法所禁止的一切恶行（munkar）。就其在生活中的职责而言，它要在国家之内全面施行伊斯兰，并将伊斯兰传播到全世界。

Indeed, enjoining the ma’roof and forbidding the munkar, relating to groups is defined after defining the work demanded by the Shar’a from the group. Here we will not be talking about groups which are established to establish partial Shar’a rules, such as the charity associations which are founded to help the poor Muslims, or the associations for guidance and admonition, or associations for building mosques, associations for teaching the Qur’an al-Kareem etc. Rather our discussion deals with the existence of groups which shoulder the responsibility of establishing the whole deen. That is via the establishment of the Khilafah, whose role is to establish Islam in the life of the Muslims. Its concern will be to bring into existence all the ma’roofaat that the Shar’a has ordered and remove all the munkaraat that the Shar’a has forbidden. It takes its role in life, in terms of applying Islam completely inside the State and carrying it to the world.
