3. Eliminating barriers to trade benefits the economies of member nations

Explanation:

There are multiple regional trade blocks around the globe, some being larger, with more members, some with only few members. The reason for the formation of the regional trade blocks and their attractiveness is that the trade barriers between the member countries are removed. This means that the goods can move freely between them, resulting in stronger and more stable economies. Examples of such trade blocks are NAFTA (USA, Canada, and Mexico), and ASEAN (the nations of Southeast Asia).

islamic religious leaders have traditionally been people who, as part of the clerisy, mosque, or government, performed a prominent role within their community or nation. however, in the modern contexts of muslims minorities in non-muslim countries as well as secularised muslim states like turkey, indonesia and bangladesh, religious leadership may take a variety of non-formal shapes.

compared to religious leaders/clerics of the other abrahamic faiths, islamic clergy are said to resemble rabbis and not priests. unlike catholic priests they do not "serve as intermediaries between mankind and god",[1] have "process of ordination",[2] or "sacramental functions",[1] but instead serve as "exemplars, teachers, judges, and community leaders," providing religious rules to the pious on "even the most minor and private" matters.[1]
