In Islam the best should becomes the leader of the Muslims. Similarly like in solat the best Muslim should becomes the imam. In the whole world, Muslims should behave like one body and there should be one leader for the Muslims in the whole world. The best Muslim among the Muslims in the whole world should become the leader of the Muslims. The Muslims in the whole world does not act like one body, as they are mainly Muslims by name. Even the Muslims of the same race and culture in one country are not united. As many Muslims countries practice democracy, those that can harness popularity among Muslims will become the leader of that country while they are not necessary the best Muslims in the country.
We cannot have the leader like the companions of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w such as Hazrat Abu Bakar and Hazrat Umar may Allah be pleased with them since the work that produce such personalities are not done by the current Muslims. During the times of the Prophet s.a.w all Muslims including the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w were doing the work of inviting the people towards Allah and reminding the Muslims about Allah and the orders of Allah. Since the Muslims at those times are doing the work of the Prophet, Allah gives them the qualities like Prophets. Although there are not Prophets but the companions of the Prophets, have the qualities as if they were Prophets and they got the help of Allah like Prophets.
The best among the Muslims are the best in taqwa. The best in taqwa means the person that has the most fear of Allah. The person who is having the most fear of Allah is the person who is the most obedience to the commandments of Allah. In the obedience of Allah lies the contentment of their hearts. When the name of Allah is mention, their heart tremble with fear and they often shed their tears as a sign of their love and fear towards Allah. The best among Muslims are the best in taqwa and they should become the leader of the Muslims. Since their love and fear towards Allah, more than their love towards wealth and power Allah made power and wealth run behind him. Allah makes power and wealth to submit before the person who love and fear Allah more than he love and fear anything else.
When Muslims are not doing the work of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w, we cannot produce Muslims with taqwa. Muslims with taqwa will come out in the society that do the work of our Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. When we do not plant durian in the correct way, we will not get good durian. When Muslims do the work of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w then we will have leaders like the companions of the Prophet s.a.w. The work of the Prophet s.a.w is to invite non-Muslims to accept and recite the Great Kalimah and to remind the Muslims about the Great Kalimah and the orders of Allah.
We have to make the work of dakwah and the work of reminding the Muslims about Allah as the main work of all Muslims. We have to do the work of dakwah daily with istiqamah, with correct intention, with ihtisab and the ways of the Prophet s.a.w until we died. When Muslims are doing the work of the Prophet s.a.w as the Prophet s.a.w did, then the qualities of Prophet will come in the life of the Muslims. The best in taqwa among the Muslims at any time should become the leader of the Muslims at that time. Since Hazrat Abu Bakar was the best Muslim at the time the Prophet s.a.w passed away, the Muslims unanimously selected him to become the leader of the Muslims. Nowadays even in the Jemaah that suppose to practice sunnah and call themselves as people who do dakwah select the successor to the leaders of the Jemaah from among their sons and family members only.
Definitely, the leaders that we have now are not like the leaders during the early years of Islam. The qualities of Muslims leaders deteriorated when Muslims are no longer doing the work of the Prophet s.a.w. Some Muslims leaders seem to be practicing Islam as they wear Islamic attires, perform solat and can make speeches quoting Quran and Hadis but their practice of Islam remain only shapes and devoid of the true spirit of Islam. As I can see, these leaders are only using Islam as a cover to gain wealth, power and position and they are not very interested in reviving the orders of Allah neither in their lifes nor in the life of others. All other Muslims leaders are also interested to gain power, wealth and position but they are not using Islam as the cover. In my opinion, all of them are the same except some are slightly better in terms of their love to gain power, wealth and position when compared to others. Tun Dr Mahathir steps down as the Prime Minister of Malaysia when he can choose to continue. Many people shed their tears when he wanted to leave office and in my opinion his love towards power and wealth is much less when compare with other Malaysian leaders including those that look to be very pious.
Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim may appear Islamic, and his speeches are full of quotation of Quran and Hadis but in his heart I think is full with love of wealth and power and I think he has no true desire to revive any orders of Allah in his life and the life of others. He is probably the same as any other Muslims leaders who use Islam as the cover and he probably could even be worse than they could, since he was willing even to tell lies in order to achieve his dream to become the Prime Minister of Malaysia. One incident that I still remember was Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim once told us to support Pas since the constitutions of Pas is clearly following Quran but in just a few months later, I heard he has entered Umno. Since that day, I knew that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is a great liar and since then until today, I will never believe whatever he said even in the court.
When Datuk Seri Zahrain discloses the lying that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had done to the Parliamentary members of Parti Keadilan Rakyat I am not surprised. Datuk Seri Anwar will remain a liar, no matter what party he belongs. When take therapy and also do the work of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w, the way the Prophet did with the intention only to please Allah his lying and other bad habits Insha’Allah will be cured.
I am calling not only Datuk Seri Anwar but also all the Muslims leaders in the whole world to do the work of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w CLICK , the way the Prophet did and they should call all their followers to do the same. When they do the work of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w, Allah will give them the qualities of the Prophets, Muslims will have the leaders like the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w, and the help of Allah will be with the Muslims.
