The Amanah of Leadership....

Why we should fear being leaders today, rather than selling our souls to have power and privilege. And, why we should never fall for the line that sins are excusable if and when they are committed in the name of politics (which we hear so often in Malaysia)....

Narrated Ma'qil:

I heard the Prophet saying, "Any man whom Allah has given the authority of ruling some people and he does not look after them in an honest manner, will never feel even the smell of Paradise." (Bukhari)

"He who hires a person and knows that there is another one who is more qualified than him has betrayed Allah and His Prophet and the Muslims.” (Bukhari)

"Whoever is in charge of running Muslim affairs and hires a person on the basis of nepotism has deserved the curse of Allah and will not accept whatever justice he does beyond that." (Muslim)

And the list goes on....
