Organised Da'wa against organisations!!

Assalamu alaikum warahmathullah,
Sub: Organised Da'wa against organisations!!
Islam, the religion of Allah has been completed with Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him). There is nothing should be added as Deen after him. But the same time Allah didn't say that Duniyya or the worldly matters also completed along with Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him). That’s why we Muslims actively engaged in different walks of life and enjoying many things which prophet (peace be upon him) or his companions didn't have in their life time. If Duniyya also was completed with prophet (peace be upon him) we Muslims could not cope up with the changes of the society in matters of worldly things. Alhamdulillah, Allah has given freedom for His slaves to strive and achieve the best for the goodness of the humanity as a whole without ignoring the principles of Islam. Alahamdulillah, Allah has perfected His religion forever through His last and final messenger for the salvation of humanity. If something added new in this regard it is considered as a Bidha or innovation in Islam. That is why, birthday of prophet (peace be upon him) considered as innovation in Islam by God fearing Muslims.
If you are looking to the history of deviants and innovators in Islam you can see that they all appeared with a new interpretation of Qur'an and Sunna. The enemies of Islam understood that it is easy to malign or destruct Islam by working within instead of outside.
When there was a dispute and differences of opinion among the earliest Muslims, Sahaba, 'the Khawarij' appeared with a new interpretation of Qur'an within them. In the modern era also was witnessed the same methodology of Khawareej to create ftna among the Muslims as different forms. When there were chaoses among Indian Muslims in the beginning of 20th century as they fought against British rule in India along with Hindus, odd voices had risen, as old wine but in new bottle, like Khawareej. They declared the freedom fighting of Indian Muslims as unlawful and even voting as shirk, institutions are Taghoot, elections were unislamic etc. Alhamdulillah, Muslims in India didn't regard such unworthy fatwa and ideology and they actively participated in every development of secular India and try to enlighten the Muslims as socially, religiously, economically, educationally etc.
There are many organisations formed to the welfare of Indian Muslims as religiously as well as politically. But many of them did not make any impact on Muslims due to their unpractical ideology which is absolutely contrary to Qur'an and Sunna.
In my recent visit to one of the so called salafi sites (www.salafitalk.net), I found that a Sheik from Saudi Arabia repeating the same fatwa like the Jamaat e Islami have done on Indian Muslims against participating elections, voting etc. He may not be aware about Indian constitutions or individual rights of Muslims as an Indian citizen.
Those who are against organised Da'wa or organisations, criticising mainly the KNM. In a site www.salafitalk.net, Zubair Muhammad (well known as Zubair Mankkada) pointing out as Sharia violation of KNM as follows
1. Mixed education in their schools and colleges in different levels, employing female managers and teachers without proper hijab in their institutions
The above questioner also presently working as a teacher in a Govt' School in Kerala and all Govt' Schools in Kerala having mixed sex education system and more over he has to work with female Heads and other female colleagues. So far Moulavi Zubair doesn’t quit his job?
2. Those who declared organisation as a Bidha and working against organisation also was a graduate from such Bidhahee institutions and more over still earning livelihood from such job. What should we, Muslims call such things in Islam? Is it not PARADOX?
Let me conclude for the time being as, it is not mandatory for any Muslims to join in organisations but it is mandatory for every Muslim to have certain qualities before pointing others mistakes (?)
May Allah save the Muslim community from the Fitna of both learned and unlearned people and forgive our mistakes and shows us the straight path
With prayers for the peaceful life here and in the hereafter

Was really informative. I thought working in any Muslim organization is mandatory. One thing i need to mention is that if working under mulsim organisation is not mandatory why then KNM & its subsidiaries are urging salafi minded people to work with them compulsory....
