Q&A - Hukm regarding obeying & disobeying the Ameer of Safar (Travel)

Question:  The prophet (saw) said in a hadith reported by Bukhari & Muslim -  " Whosoever obeys me, obeys Allah; and he who disobeys me, disobeys Allah; and whosoever obeys the Amir (leader), in fact, obeys me; and he who disobeys the Amir, in fact, disobeys me."

Com­par­isons were made with the Nazi defeat in Stal­in­grad , which was the begin­ning of the end of the Third Reich. Since the ISIS dec­la­ra­tion of the Caliphate back in June 2014, ISIS expanded its con­trol and entered into many bat­tles with rebel groups, al-Assad’s’ forces and the US air force. Analysing the loss of Kobani reveals ISIS is now on the defen­sive, but not defeated. It was in Sep­tem­ber 2014 that ISIS fight­ers cap­tured some 300 Kur­dish vil­lages near Kobani and thrust into the town itself. Tens of thou­sands of refugees spilled across th

If it remains firm in the face of these factors then it would have passed through the first line of defence of the thoughts of disbelief and attained the following achievements or results:  1) The crystallization of its thought: The clashing that takes place with other thoughts, discussing them and making clear their corruption inevitably leads to the embodiment of this thought and its crystallization. This means its movement from a fluid state to a state where it is solidified and embodied i.e. from empty thoughts of imagination to a vision of the reality and its application upon it. This is because when
