A Short Evaluation on Sects and Congregations
Unable to create a process like the Enlightenment Period of the West from its own dynamics, the Islamic world had to adopt a defensive position instead of creating a science/production economy to stop its weakening every century.
On the one hand, Muslim clergymen sought the causes and solutions to this backwardness and made political attempts to implement these solutions, while on the other hand, they tried to defend Islam against the newly developing philosophical and ideological doctrines in the West.
These religious movements and religious movements in the nineteenth century, in which Islam gradually turned into an ideological attitude, were subjected to different names and/or classifications.
Sects and congregations are "political" organizations born out of these efforts.
It is wrong to perceive them as a religious identity.
Sects/confessions and their members are political identities.
For this reason, they seek the financial and administrative power used by the state, not the sphere of belief/prayer used by religion. The sphere of faith is the tool they use to take them to their goals.
The main purpose of those who join sects/sects is not to fulfill the rituals required by their beliefs, but to fulfill their expectations of financial power, cadres, the use of power, being able to stay outside the legal sphere, gaining prestige, etc.
Structures defined as political Islam are organizations that also use areas of belief.
For this reason, the answer to the questions "Does a Muslim lie, steal, cheat or commit lawlessness?" should be sought in the field of politics, not in the field of faith.
