In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that baait (pledge of allegiance) in Islam can be for spiritual guidance or for jihad. It doesn’t have to be given to a specific person; anyone with sincere intentions for Allah can offer baait. He shares an example of scholars like Maulana Ata Ullah Bukhari who took baait to fight against the Qadiani movement. Baait involves a commitment to follow Allah’s path, avoid what displeases Him, and be ready to sacrifice for His cause.
