Intro - (why) is Ethical leadership important?
Example of the Holy Prophet sa, for example Prophet Muhammad (sa), the Founder of Islam, was sent to this world as
a mercy for the whole of mankind. He initially preached to people in Mecca about the existence of God, and in return,
they bitterly persecuted him and his followers. After enduring extreme hardship for 13 years, without any retaliation,
he migrated from his homeland to another city, Medina. In Medina, he entered a peace treaty with the Jews,
Christians and other residents of Mecca. Subsequently, he was chosen to be the leader of the state and he established
a most comprehensive and magnificent charter of human rights in Medina.
Update on the US Elections
Possible Outcomes of the US Elections
c) Women as leaders in Islam
Intro:
Islam was the first and only religion that truly recognized the contributions that women are able to make to society
and hence, sought to create a social system that puts the status of women on equal footing with that of men. Both
Muslim men and women are enjoined to contribute to the betterment of society and to that effect, Islam does not
limit a Muslim woman’s pursuit of leadership roles/duties in any manner.
