SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP?

What is spiritual leadeship??. Spiritual leadership is not the same as military leadership, political leadership or corporate leadership! This is not to say that there are no similarities between spiritual leadership and these other kinds of leadership. There are certain elements common to all types of leadership. Furthermore, the good qualities of military leadership, political leadership or corporate leadership can certainly be in line with Islam or any riligious values.

Spiritual leadership, however, is more than just dedicated natural traits and talents. Successful Muslim business persons, for example, do not necessarily have what it takes to be successful spiritual leaders. They may be very effective in leading a company or a business organization, but this is no guarantee that they will be effective leaders in a masjid. -even though they may be dynamic Muslims. The reason for this is that there is an added dimension to spiritual leadership; it requires more than dedicated natural abilities. Spiritual leadership, simply defined, is God-given spiritual ability and responsibility to lead God’s people. This all-important dimension is a “must” for effective leadership in this moden days. The world is too old and need a spiritual leadership in ability.
