Islamic leadership criteria and unity

maulana, yeh sawal doctor farida khanam ne kiya hai nai dilli se. unhon ne poocha hai: "what is the concept of leadership in islam? what is the criteria to judge a leader? there are innumerable leaders among the muslims. how can they take a decision unitedly? is there any possibility of this? or we are doomed to live under the shadow of incompetent leaders." dekhiye, islam mein leader ko imam kaha jata hai. imam to islam ka usool hai: "amruhum shura baynahum".

yani jab zaroorat ho imam muqarrar karne ki, leader muqarrar karne ki, to is ke liye mashwara kiya jaye, discuss kiya jaye, sab log baith kar rai karen, aur consensus se jis aadmi ko tay ho jaye, us ko imam maan liya jaye. yeh to ideal baat hai, ideal baat ke jab bhi ek leader fit ho gaya, mar gaya, leader ne resign kar diya, kisi bhi baat se woh paida hoga, yani leader ki na raha,

to log baithen aur discuss karen, aur jis aadmi ke naam par consensus ho jaye, sab log us ko yeh leader man len, sab log man len us ko. yeh hai ideal soorat. doosri soorat jo hai secondary darjay mein, woh kya hai? woh hai, is ke liye bhi hadees mein bata diya gaya hai, woh yeh hai ke "ittiba-e-sawad-e-azam".

ittiba-e-sawad-e-azam ka matlab yeh hai ke kisi bhi tareeqay se agar koi aadmi leader ban gaya, chahe ghalat tareeqay se bana ho kyun na ho, to maan lo us ke sath jhanda na uthao. yani ek ideal shakal yeh hai ke mashware se, discussion se ke kisi shakhs ko banaya jaye aur sab log us ko man len. lekin agar yeh ideal shakal possible na ho aur koi aadmi kisi bhi aur tareeqay se leader ban jaye, to phir us ko hi maan lijiye aap taake kam se kam peace to qaim rahe. aap jab maan lenge to kam se kam پیس to qaaim ho jayega. bas yeh do shakalें hain. teesri shakal jo aaj kal musalmanon mein hai ke khade ho jate hain jhanda le kar ke,

jaise musalmanon ke muslim karne mein democracy kyun nahin hai? is ki misaal aap Pakistan dekh lijiye, ek election hoga, koi jeetega, ab kya hai? doosra khada ho jayega, rigging hui hai, rigging hui hai, rigging hui hai. ab is ko down karne ke liye yeh Islam mein jaaiz nahin hai. Islam mein jaaiz hi nahin hai. yeh jaise bhi elect ho kar ke, jaise bhi woh ban kar ke seat par aa gaya, to bas maan lijiye is ko. yeh hai Islam ka tareeqa. kyunke Islam mein dekhiye, jo jo supreme hai, woh kya hai? normal si پیس. yeh hai supreme Islam.

is par bohat sari hadeesein hain aur yahan par detail ka mauqa nahin hai kyunke main mukhtasaran yahi kahunga ke agar musalmanon mein, yaani constructive soch ho, woh is position mein hon ke discussion kar ke ek aadmi ko bana dein, to bara acha hai. nahin to jo aadmi bhi kisi bhi tareeqe se ho jaye, woh chahe rigging kar ke ho jaye, tab bhi is ko maan lijiye kyunke ittaba sawad al aazam farmaya Rasool Allah salallahu alaihi wasallam ne. Maulana, in ka ek sawal aur hai.

unhon ne likha hai ke "there was no media in the thirteenth century, that is why Muslims were able to opt for the policy of inaction. now is there any possibility of Muslims refraining from giving provocative statements in the media and aggravating the situation further?" bilkul, hum ko dekhiye, hamari team yeh sab nahin kaam kar rahi hai. train karne ki zaroorat hai. hum train kar rahe hain logon ko to hamare jo itne saathi hain, koi sab kaam nahin karta. pehle jo hai, traditionally log aise the. ab aap ko logon ke mind ki re-engineering karni hogi.

bas yeh hai. pehle to apne aap hi log jo the, woh kingship ka zamana tha, log chup chap rehte the. ab woh daur khatam ho gaya, woh zamana khatam ho gaya, woh tradition toot gayi. lekin ab aap logon ke mind ki re-engineering kijiye, logon ko phir se samjhaiye. abhi aaj mere paas ek talib ilm aaya, ek sahab ka, subah unhon ne kaha ke "aap ki kitabein parhne se pehle main sab ko dushman samajhta tha ke sab dushman hain, Hindu dushman hain, Yahudi dushman hain, American dushman hain, Islam ke sab khilaf side se karte hain. sab ke khilaf mere dil mein dushmani hoti thi.

aap ki kitabein parhne ke baad mera zehan bilkul badal gaya. ab main samajhta hoon ke sab insaan hain, koi dushman nahin hai. yeh hai re-engineering of mind. to pehle jo cheez apne aap haasil ho jati thi, us ke liye aap ko koshish karni padegi. itna hi farq hua hai. Maulana, agla sawal kya hai? Mr. John Butt ne Afghanistan se. unhon ne poocha hai ke "quite often one sees that Islamic principles and values are being better observed by non-Muslims than by Muslims.
