#taraweeh Corrupt Leadership
Everyone detests corrupt leaders, especially those who are supposed to be upright.
Surah Aal Imran has three examples of unethical leaders:
1. Firoun's example, who deceived his people by using force and status.
2. The Ahl-Kitab's self-centred scholars who abused their positions to further their personal agendas
3. The hypocrites who banded together and disobeyed the Messenger, peace be upon him, using their connections and voices.
Love for Dunya and maintaining its way of life is the foundation of everything. Obedience to the Messenger peace be upon him and spending their own wealth for the benefit of others are the remedies for this.

#taraweeh Surah Baqara prt2

A leader needs to be resilient during difficult times, inspire his followers, and understand that he will be held accountable by a greater power in addition to having physical strength and profound knowledge.

From planning the Hajj, starting Ramadan, managing divorce disputes in the neighbourhood, leading soldiers into combat, and distributing wealth wisely. In the absence of a suitable leader, corruption, oppression, and immodesty will be the norm.

#Taraweeh Surah Baqara prt1

Surah Baqarah mentions the importance of having wholesome leadership.
Two types of leadership are found:
The first is a type of leadership that is best described as selfish leadership, where individuals who are given status and power manipulate the public for their cause. This group includes the leaders of governance, as well as scholars, rabbis, and others. The end for these people is utter remorse.

The second type of leadership is divinely inspired. Sayyidina Adam a.s was gifted with leadership skills over all other creations. Another name associated with leadership is Sayyidina Ibrahim a.s, whose dedication to Allah's cause gave him the title imam. He built the first house of Allah and made dua to Allah for leadership to remain in his progeny.

This type of leadership inspires others and makes society more harmonious and free of oppression.

Its time to Fiqhs-up

When teaching Fiqh, the curriculum should be structured to get students up to the point where they can easily transition into being trained up to deliver fatwas, even if they do not pursue formal ifta training.

Otherwise, studying classical works of fiqh serves little or no purpose besides confusion. Instead, they should study a condensed text of fiqh that is intended to help them learn the Fiqh that they require in today's world.

Institutes/madrassas that want to develop men and women who can navigate the books of fiqh must design a robust syllabus from beginner to advanced with well-trained teachers who not only have a thorough understanding of the subject but also the necessary teaching skills.

Simply reading literature like Qudoori, Kanz Hidayah, and so on does not prepare students for fiqh. Instead, it frequently ends up being a series of lectures in which fiqh books are translated and a rudimentary understanding is gained. By the end, students rarely understand the missing connections between masail [fiqh topics] and struggle to recognise any general consistency among the texts. When they want to enrol in an ifta course, they struggle to answer questions and locate relevant references.

The teacher is responsible for instilling an inquisitive mindset in students. Of course, students will vary in their ability to conceive of scenarios outside the box to show what they have learned in the particular lesson. Finally, a student who has spent most of their time in fiqh class taking notes and has not been challenged to think or question is a carbon copy of their teacher's notes, not a fiqh student.

Controlling the tongue and what we type

Most people feel compelled by social media to leave comments or express their opinions on any topic, particularly when it comes to religious rulings. The worst is when someone criticises another Muslim, which usually counts as slander or backbiting.

It is not necessary for you to have an opinion on everything. Saying "I don't know" is also part of our teachings.

Disguising it as speaking the truth or carrying out the duty of Amr bil Maroof [instructing people to do good] and refuting what's bad has its limits and regulations.

The blessed Prophet, peace be upon him.  "People will be cast into the depths of the fire because of the harvest of their tongues."  [Tirmidhi]
