Leadership begins from within
22 August 2025
Self-leadership is the foundation of all leadership. If we cannot guide ourselves to be responsible and obedient servants of Allah s.w.t., we cannot expect to lead others to do the same.

The entire life of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. is a treasury of guidance on self-leadership, which should be an example for all Muslims. Following are two valuable lessons from his life that we can emulate together:
First: The steadfastness (istiqamah) of the Prophet s.a.w. in worship and devotion.
Second: Leadership must be paired with noble character.
