Leadership is everywhere

“Each one of you is a shepherd. And each of you will be asked about your flock. A ruler also is a shepherd and he will be asked about his flock. And every man is a shepherd to his family. And every woman is the custodian of her husband’s house and his children. Thus each one of you is a shepherd and each one will be asked about his flock.”

Sahih Bukhari and Muslim

When three men travel together, they should make one of them their leader.

Abu Dawud

Allah wants you to be a leader

With the right intention...of course

And those who say: "Our Lord! Bestow

on us from our wives and our offspring who will be the

comfort of our eyes, and make us leaders for the Muttaqun"

Felicity (state of happiness) is for the one who holds the reins of his horse to strive in Allah's cause, with his hair unkempt and his feet covered with dust: If he is placed in the vanguard, he will be found in the vanguard and if he is placed in the rearguard, he will be found in the rearguard. If he asks for permission, it is not granted and if he intercedes, it is not

accepted."Narrated by Bukhari

"Perish the slave of the deenaar, the dirham, the khameesah and the khameelah. If he is given these things, he is pleased and if he is not, he is displeased. May such a person perish and be of the losers and if he is pierced with a thorn, may he not find anyone to remove it.

Few Leadership actions

just to get you started...

Shurah The blessing in consultation

And by the Mercy of Allah, you dealt with them gently. And had you been severe and harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about you; so pass over (their faults), and ask (Allah's) Forgiveness for them; and consult them in the affairs. Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allah, certainly, Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him).

3:159

42; 38.

And those who answer the Call of their Lord and perform As-Salat , and who (conduct) their affairs by mutual consultation, and who spend of what We have bestowed on them.

Some benefits of Consultation

• The Amir comes to know the views of his followers.• He is helped in arriving at a correct decision.• Representative Muslims get an opportunity to think about, and take a

personal• It enables him to know the aptitude, aspirations and tendencies as

well as the moral and spiritual condition of the different members of his community, and thus he becomes enabled to effect an improvement, wherever necessary, in his people.

Think about it

Allah and His Messenger did not stand in need of the advice of anybody, but God has made it (the seeking of advice) a source of mercy for men. Those who hold consultation will not stray away from the path of rectitude, while those who do not are liable to do so.

Leadership does not have to be so lonely

Istikharah the other weapon of a leader

“He who seeks guidance from the Creator and consults the creatures will

never regret it.”

O Allah, I consult You as You are All-Knowing and I appeal to You to give me power as You are Omnipotent, I ask You for Your great favor, for You have power and I do not, and You know all of the hidden matters . O Allah ! If you know that this matter (then he should mention it) is good for me in my religion, my livelihood, and for my life in the Hereafter, (or he said: ‘for my present and future life,’) then make it (easy) for me. And if you know that this matter is not good for me in my religion, my livelihood and my life in the Hereafter, (or he said: ‘for my present and future life,’) then keep it away from me and take me away from it and choose what is good for me wherever it is and please me with it.”

Whoever delegates a position to someone whereas he sees someone else as more competent (for the position), verily he has cheated Allah and His Apostle and all the Muslims.

Be Gentle...

The Prophet said, "The example of this man and me is like a man who has a she-camel who bolts from him. People chase it and they only make it shy away more. The owner calls to them to stay clear of him and his she-camel, saying, 'I am more compassionate and better to it than you.' He goes in front of it and takes some clods of dirt and drives it back until it comes and kneels. He saddles and mounts it. If I had given you your heads when the man said what he said, you would have killed him and he would have entered the Fire."
