Take the example of Islam, Holy Prophet (SAW) came up with an ideology (which ofcourse was revealed to him by Allah (SWT)), he (SAW) were initially followed by well disciplined, well understanding, struggling and organized fellows who had a belief in Prophet (SAW), gradually the ideology began to spread and all types of people (including hypocrites ) begun to join but everything was maintained in an organized way for the purpose and ultimately Islam became a reality for the world .
