Imāms be like:
As per al-Imāmah/al-Imārah (Leadership), lets take a Look into the Leadership-Career of Muhammad ibn-`Abdillah (Peace be upon them):
1. They never complained about
their Qiwāmāt/Responsibilities.
2. They never shirked their Qiwāmāt.
3. They never attempted to shift their Qiwāmāt upon Others.
4. They never abused their Authority.
5. They never tried to 1-Up anyone else, via pretending to know everything.
6. They never rejected Correction, Advice, etc.
7. They were always 24/7 On-Call.
8. They never took any Vacations.
9. They never took any PTO’s/Paid Time-Off.
10. They never took any PDO’s/Personal-Days Off.
11. They never took any SDO’s/Sick-Days Off. (Literally…even via their own Death-Bed: Muhammad still held the Reins of Leadership over their Ummah/Nation & produced Positive-Results).
Now (regardless of whether they’re at the Helm of a: Masjid/Mosque, Jamā`ah/Community, `Ālam/Balad [Country], etc.): how many “Muslim-Leaders” do we know whom match-up to this Furqān/Standard of
al-Imāmah/al-Imārah?!!!
