			Sudan hamdulillah salatu salam ala rasulillah 30 verses 30 days and today we're looking at verse
number 159, from Surah earlier on Allah subhanaw taala says febi modernity mean Allah, He didn't
tell him when
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:20
			he was convenient for them in fact, for whom we're still fiddling with, shall we
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:47
			say either as an ally in the life motto killing Subhana Allah, this is a beautiful verse. And from
this verse, we can take the leadership techniques that Allah subhanaw taala had given to the Prophet
salallahu alayhi wa sallam had prescribed to the profits of a law abiding citizen, household law
tells the profits of the law where it was said, If it weren't for the mercy of Allah subhana wa
Tada, then you wouldn't have been lenient.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:01:27
			Then he tells them that were you to be hard hearted were you to be cruel than all of the people
around you would have left meaning that you wouldn't have had anyone to lead. So now let's take a
closer look to figure out what are those techniques that Allah subhanho wa Taala, prescribed to the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam within this verse, to be a good leader, someone who people would
be willing to follow, and not someone who people would disperse from around him. The very first
thing is, in the beginning of the verse, verse, Allah Subhana, Allah says, febi Mara, I met him in
Allah, if it weren't for the mercy of Allah subhana wa Donna, you wouldn't have been able to be
		
00:01:27 --> 00:02:09
			gentle. So the very first leadership technique that loss of Hannah Montana is mentioning within this
verse is that a true leader is a gentle leader. Yes, he's gentle, but at the same time, he also has
a resolve as well, that resolve doesn't lead to harshness. And that gentleness doesn't lead to a
person being not a person of resolve. So you have to have a resolve. But at the same time, you also
have to be gentle, you have to be gentle. But at the same time, you have to have a mission, you have
to have a focus, you have to have your vision very clear. When Oakland tafawa, Hollywood, Calvin and
fabu mean Holic, then he tells the prophets I said, Look, if you are not gentle, where you do not
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:15
			have been gentle, you wouldn't have followers, people would not be willing to follow you, they would
all disperse from around you.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:22
			Now the second technique, fat for whom, forgive them and pardon them.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:03:00
			When you are a leader, you're going to be dealing with all sorts of people. Even if you're a leader
in your own family, you're going to be dealing with your children, you're going to be dealing with
the people around you, you're going to be dealing with neighbors, you're going to be dealing with
all sorts of people, if you're a CEO of a company, or you're a manager in company, you're going to
be dealing with your employees, and those people are going to make loads of mistakes. So the first
thing that Allah says to the prophet to send them after gentleness, along with the resolve is that
be a person of pardon forgive people overlook their mistakes, especially if it happens to be that
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:31
			odd time that someone made a mistake, don't make a big fuss about it for at home, forgive them,
pardon them. Not only that, since you are the person who was the leader or profit in this particular
circumstance, then not only do you forgive their mistake, you seek forgiveness for their mistakes as
well was total field level and seek forgiveness for their mistakes as well. Why? Because it truly
ends up owning up to the mistakes of his followers as well. Because at the end of the day, he should
have been
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:57
			helping them avoid those mistakes. And if they fall into those mistakes, and a true leader in a
company in a family says you know what? Yes, my followers made a mistake, but it's my fault that I
didn't look into it much so I'm going to do something about it. So when your followers make a
mistake, do something about it. That's what a lot tells the profitsystem if they make a mistake was
still Fiddler home seek forgiveness for them. And you also pardon that part in them as well.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:07
			Then a law continues and he gives us another technique he says wash our home Phil mo and also do
shootout with them, consult them.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:51
			Not only seek forgiveness for them not only be gentle to them, not only have a resolve but at the
same time involve them in the process as well. So they learn how to behave. Well Shall we at home
Finn, Mo, for either as an adult can either law the last technique. Now, along with that
consultation along with that gentle gentleness, always remember that the final decision is yours
because you're the one who's primarily responsible. So he says either as a token of the law, when
you've already made your final decision, then do token upon a lot in trust your matter upon a lot
and execute based on your resolve. And based on your final decision, along with the fact that you've
		
00:04:51 --> 00:05:00
			involved everyone in the process. You've consulted and you've done Shula, I asked Allah subhana wa
tada to allow us to be great leaders within ourselves.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:05
			Families within our societies within the greater society as well and allow us to
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:26
			take these practices that were prescribed by Allah subhana wa tada and these qualities that were
prescribed by Allah subhanho wa Taala to the greatest leader that ever lived within this world, our
messenger prophets Allah who it was said to him, directly below him for listening was Salam Alaikum
