Are U A Leader?

salam.

I was eager to write this down sincerely. its something im always keen to do; sharing. sharing the knowledge, sharing the bad n gud memories, sharing, wat i feel like needed to b shared. =)

so this time, this question aroused inside my head. Do u think that U r a leadeR? when asked this question, most people probably have this view: jangan nak perasan lah weh. tak payah tanya soalan macam tu. kalau orang pilih, kiranya ur a leader and kalau orang dh pilih, naik je lah jadi leader, tak payah nak bising2.

hmphhhh. typical.

in the scope of being Muslims, we need in fact to realize our objective of living in this world. we cld never run away from these two objectives tat Allah had alrdy lined up for us. we are here to 1) govern #become a caliph and 2) to subjugate ourselves as servants to Allah #mengabdikan diri pd Allah. so becoming a caliph, u realy need to ask urself if u r a leader/gud leader if u want to pass this job with flying colours eyy?

heres the trick to this question: experience taught me that when u ask this question, theres a way to test whether ur answer is correct or wrong. whether u r a leader or not. whether u r a gud leader or otherwise.. the test is simple. u go to the nearest musolla/surau/masjid, (make sure u come early). wait for the azan, get ur solat sunat rawatib done, and as quickly as possible go to the first line in front of the masjid and offer urself to be..well an IMAM. solat itself has taught us so many things that cld b related to life (e.g the moral of khusyu' when u sujud teaches u to focus n many more), wat more cld u ask from SOLAT BERJEMAAH. try n delve more into it n it cld even teach u how to govern a country RIGHT (so, does that mean if the leaders of our country doesnt solat berjemaah than they r NOT RIGHT? lol just something to ponder)

this test is best done during solat SUBUH, MAGHRIB AND ISYA'. for those who did this test before, must hv known the feeling. for me, it was a great experience which taught me a lot. when it was exam time i didnt really go to masjid in order to save time. so i performed my five prayers in surau asrama banat and was asked to b an imam lots of time, (mayb bcuz i was there early or something). the first time ever, my hands were shaking in fact my body cldnt stand stil properly. for u to solat and FACE ALLAH THE CREATOR at that time, at the same moment leading my sisters in islam properly to face Allah too, is not an easy job. to me it felt wonderful biiznillah, alhamdulilah. because i noe leading people in solat is the only CERTAIN thing that we noe, "yes im leading people the RIGHT WAY, to Allah". n it was a challenge for me too, for i was leading a bunch of great huffaz behind me. it was of great memories, n i cld say i missed being an imam there.

to my friends, brothers n sisters in islam, do not b afraid. go for it. test urself with this simple test. once u tried the first time, n ull think subhanallah this was great, and peaceful...

so people, are u a leader? =)
