In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that in Islam, commitments like bai‘at (pledge) are based on a person's ability (istitaat). The Prophet ﷺ gave personalized advice to his companions, considering their individual strengths and weaknesses. This approach is like how a doctor tailors treatment to each patient. While general teachings are important, they must be understood in context. The key is balancing ideals with practical human limitations.
