(20) Without placing a caliph on earth who is knowledgeable about the whole of Islam and can teach it to Muslims, it is not possible for them to establish the whole of Islam and therefore, requiring them to do so is against justice. Hence, God has never obligated Muslims to establish the whole of Islam except after leaving someone among them with the knowledge of the whole for their education and guidance; as he has said as a rule: “And there is a guide for any nation”.
