⁣Dr. Israr Ahmad discusses the concept of *fard-e-kifayah* (collective obligation) and its application to the Muslim community. He argues that establishing an Islamic system is a primary collective obligation, taking precedence over individual pursuits like scientific advancement. He explains that while acquiring knowledge and skills is valuable, it must be secondary to the foundational task of establishing Islamic governance. He contrasts this with the concept of *fard-e-ayn* (individual obligation) and clarifies that if the collective obligation is not fulfilled by some members of the community, all are considered accountable. He highlights that scientific progress, when pursued without a framework of Islamic governance, can be exploited against Muslims. He emphasizes that once an Islamic system is established, individuals are free to pursue their interests and contribute to society in various fields. The lecture stresses the urgency of prioritizing the establishment of Islamic governance as a collective duty.
