Elements of Leadership There are three important for the leadership to exist 1. Leader 2. Followers 3. Situations: events that require doing things that distinguish leaders from followers.

An Islamic Perspective of Leadership Leadership in Islam is a TRUST; Leadership in Islam is about how Muslims enact their leadership role; Compared to western theories of Leadership. Leadership in Islam is not a matter of grabbing power. It essentially serving ALLAH (swt) through the implementation of his commands in all aspects of Life.

Roles of Muslim Leader Two primary roles of Muslim Leader: Servant Leader – the leader has to seek the welfare of his followers and guide them towards good; Guardian Leader – the leader is responsible for guiding its members towards Iman, Taqwa, Ibadah, & Ethics. Basic Operational Principles of Islamic Leadership Shura Justice Freedom of Thought

Characteristics of an Islamic Leader Top characteristics of an Islamic Leader include Honesty – there is a consistency between word and deed. Competence – people will follow a leader if they believe that the leader knows what he or she is doing; Inspiration – the leader must never give up or lose hope Patience – like all other believers, a leader can expect to be tested, and he will need to endure/tolerate Humility – a Muslim leader is to be humble and must never let his ego get the better of him The willingness to seek consultation – Islam stresses consultation, since Shura plays critical role in Management and Administration

Characteristics of Followers The characteristics of followers represent an important ingredient in the leadership process Obedience – at all times, the leader must be obeyed; hearing and obeying are the duty of a Muslim, both regarding what he likes and what he dislikes. Dynamic followership – although Islam emphasizes that followers should comply with the directives of their leader, it does not condone blind subservience.
