Leadership is thought, reflection, understanding
Leadership is having the ability to take what’s in your head and make it come true
Leadership is a responsibility and a burden
An honor and a proof
Without it there is chaos and with it there is hope
In the world we live in today we lack leaders.
Men and women who know and who upon that knowledge act
Instead our great ones, presidents, prime ministers and kings
Act ignorantly and upon their common ignorance make pacts
We are in need of leaders of tomorrow
Leaders who inspire the youth and mystify the old
Ones who when the speak are clear
And when they act they are sincere
The consensus of the people their actions mirror
Their decisions are just
And their opinions are not a must
Allaah subhaan’nahu wa’ta’aala says:
إن الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات سيجعل لهم الرحمن ودّا
“Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds – the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection.”
(Surat Maryam, 19:96)
