mousseline Muhammad Rasul Allah is Allah Allah Holly he really he will save you seldom. The Steven
Kaziranga Fira, my Babu, my dear brother and sisters, we continue with our series of hopup on Islam
works titled Islam works. And we are looking at the issue of
		

			the Shura consultative decision making.
		

			Why Islam because Islam works. Last week, we spoke about the importance of sure of concentrated
decision making, which is a practice advocated by Allah subhanaw taala himself and practiced by an
authorized seller throughout his blessed life. Allah subhanaw taala considered Shura to be so
important that he revealed Quran about it. Allah Subhana Allah said, well, the venustas Abu Dhabi
him aka masala rowhome, Shu rabina home, me Morocco, nahoon sukoon, Allah, Allah said and those who
answer the call of the rub challenge,
		

			meaning they accept Islam
		

			and they establish and Salah please notice Salah is the sign of having accepted Islam. If you say
you are Muslim and you do not pray, there is no evidence that you are a Muslim.
		

			And then Allah said and who conduct their affairs by mutual consultation and who spend of what we
have bestowed upon them. I always marveled at how Allah subhanaw taala mentions elements of conduct,
along with the rather salah and zakat. This shows us that Islam is not merely a set of prayer
rituals, but a complete way of life in which everything we say or do has the potential to benefit us
in this life and earn rewards for us in the arcanum.
		

			Allah subhanaw taala defined us by how we conduct our affairs. He listed the characteristics of the
believers and said that they are those who answer his call, which is they accept Islam. They
establish Salah they conduct their affairs by mutual consultation, sure or buying a home and they
spend in the bath of Allah from what Allah subhanaw taala has given them.
		

			This shows us how important Torah is and how blessed because it is something that Allah subhanho wa
Taala ordered us to do and called it a characteristics of Muslims.
		

			Today I want to teach you how it is done.
		

			And two important tools to ensure that it happens effectively.
		

			Let me state again, that the primary purpose of Shura is twofold. One to keep the hearts together
and strengthen team cohesiveness
		

			and to ensure that the best possible decision is taken, leveraging the diversity of competence and
experience on the team.
		

			I want to reiterate that the Shura is not about the leader, whether he is capable or not. It is not
about his or her or anyone else's ego. It is about ensuring that at the end of the process, everyone
feels included, respected and acknowledged.
		

			So here's how it goes. First, who should be a member of the SRA? This is a fundamental question and
perhaps the most important
		

			just getting a bunch of people together and calling them Shura, which is what happens most of the
time is ridiculous. The shooter must have people with the skills and experience necessary to
deliberate on the matter at hand.
		

			Selecting members of the Shura is therefore the first and most important matter decide on and to
jasm is not a substitute for competence or skill or experience.
		

			People get appointed usually based on rank or age or gender or willingness. All are unsuitable
criteria for appointment to the Shura
		

			competence and experience are the only two criteria that you should consider incompetent people will
ensure that the SRA fails and with that will fail your trust in the entire process. NGOs most
commonly have sras which fail because most people in their management bodies are elected because of
popularity. Not necessarily competence. Wise be wise leaders in such a situation coopt people with
the skills and experience into the show
		

			To help to take good decisions, get experts and listen to them, don't argue with them.
		

			Number two, selecting the leader, the shooter must have a leader. This can be the former head of the
team or the family or the organization or it can be someone selected to lead that particular sre
meeting.
		

			The latter might happen this may happen in a case where the selected person is the one who is most
concerned with the outcome, as in the case of helping someone choose a career or a spouse
		

			or in the case of a decision relating to a subdivision of an organization for example, where that
decision is to be implemented, the leader is usually called the amine or Feisal, but obviously, this
is not a requirement that the leader must have this particular title, you will call the leader
anything you want for the leader is required. Number two, or number three, the attitude of the
leader everything begins with attitude. And with the wrong attitude, you will fail.
		

			What should be the leaders attitude, be open to suggestions and ideas, especially those that may be
different from your own.
		

			never enter a shoe
		

			with your mind already made up.
		

			That is suicide. And it will destroy the trust that others have in you
		

			even can make out that you are not really interested in their opinions and your mind is already make
up. And they will not participate when you ask for ideas because they know that you are wasting
their time.
		

			Number three,
		

			the leader
		

			and his or her actions.
		

			What does the leader do in the Shura. Number one, state the goal clearly and concisely. Don't make a
speech about the goal clearly and concisely, in not more than one simple sentence with four or five
words. If you cannot express the goal in this way, it just means that you are yourself not clear
about the goal. And if you are not clear about the goal, then how can anybody else be clear about
the work? So go back to the Brian drawing board. Think rethink, reflect, create the wording, one
sentence of four or five words, which clearly and concisely describes the goal.
		

			Spend time on this to ensure that you are clear about the goal and express it concisely and
powerfully then describe the situation. Having said the wall and describe the situation to the Shura
child, what what are the challenges, Strengths, Weaknesses constraints that must be dealt with and
overcome in order to succeed in achieving the goal?
		

			speak openly and frankly,
		

			speak openly. And frankly, if you are secretive, and do not share all information you have, you
cannot get good suggestions. And when people discover later, that you have not shared your
knowledge, frankly, it will destroy their trust in you and damage your standing your authority and
your relationship with them. Remember, the good old principle garbage in garbage out.
		

			Then, what does the leader do having stated the goal and describe the situation and circumstances
seek suggestions. Once you have stated the goal, and shared all relevant information about
challenges, constraints, resources and strengths, ask people for suggestions. It's a good idea to
ask everyone, but you do not have to. If you are pressed for time, when I was choose, I always
choose not to ask those who I trust the most.
		

			And with whom I have the closest relationship. Most leaders that I've spoken to have told me that
they do the same. Not being asked for an opinion therefore, is often a sign of high trust. So don't
get offended. Be sure to ask those who are likely to have critical information and those who have
potential to cause discord later. If they are not asked. People with nuisance value must be dealt
with. If you don't include them in the discussion. They can create a lot of noise in the system,
which can disrupt smooth functioning.
		

			Now for the followers, what must you do? Number one, if your opinion is short, please give it don't
say whatever you say or something like that. State your opinion. Number two, say what you know to be
in the best interest of the group and best for the achievement of the goal. Not something that you
		

			Like are you find convenient. Think about the goal and the group, not about yourself. Number three,
when you finish mega Stefan and ask Allah Allah Allah Allah to forgive you, and save you from the
evil of what we suggested, because Allah knows and you and I do not know, this saves us from pride.
And in case our opinion is not taken, not accepted, it saves us from feeling disappointed or
resentful. Number four, if your opinion is not sought, thank Allah subhanaw taala from saving for
saving you from having said something that may not have been beneficial.
		

			Number five, do not insist on speaking, make dua saying Yeah, Allah, if there is higher and benefit
and Baraka, in what I have to say, in what I want to say, Please allow me to say it, if Allah
subhanaw taala wants, he will put it in the heart of the Emir to ask you, if he asks you speak, if
he still doesn't ask you, it means that there was no higher in what you wanted to say. And unless we
heard that I saved you. So thank Allah.
		

			Number six, the only exception and listen carefully. The only exception is if you have information,
data, not opinion information, which is critical to the issue, then speak up and share the data.
Number seven, don't sit silently with critical data and allow a bad decision to be made on the
excuse that you are not asked. The leader is not a mind reader. He does not know that you have info
important information. And if you do not share it and things go wrong, you will be responsible
before Allah subhanaw taala collective responsibility is about owning your own accountability.
		

			Now back to the leader, consider all suggestions and information and decide then make is the bar and
ask Allah subhanho wa Taala for itself. repent to Allah.
		

			seek forgiveness Allah subhanaw taala and ask him for itself. Praise the Hara for the help of Allah
subhanho wa Taala and have torquil and reliance on Allah. Do not change your decision. unless some
critical information comes up that you did not have at the time of making the decision. Don't simply
change the decision because now you are have butterflies in your stomach. No
		

			decisiveness is a leadership quality and a hallmark of a good leader. Allah subhanaw taala advised
or pseudo Sallam about the key qualities of the Emir. They are a combination of softness,
forbearance, patience, and strong decisiveness. This shows that kindness and forgiveness are not
signs of weakness, but actually signs of strength and emotional maturity which is so critical for
strong leadership. Allah subhanaw taala said for the MA Fabi ma hottie min Allah He Linda La Quinta
for one volleys, Al kalbi lon fondue mean Holic five one home was stuck Villa home wash our home
field Amma for either as for our call of Allah, in Allah you have bull matawa Killeen Allah subhanaw
		

			taala said which means and by the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala you dealt with them gently and
had you been severe and harsh hearted, they would have broken away from you and left you so pass
over ignore their faults and ask Allah subhana wa tada has forgiven us for them and conserve them in
the affairs. Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allah subhanho wa Taala
certainly Allah Subhana Allah loves those who put their trust in Him. Allah subhanaw taala called
the kindness of our souls a solemn a blessing for himself for his beloved messenger sallallahu
Sallam emphasized its importance in team building. He advised us all as a seller, to be patient
		

			always, especially with those who may exceed the boundaries of propriety to forgive them and seek
Allah subhanaw taala as forgiveness for them and to consult his companions, when taking decisions
Shall we roam free will. Having done that, Allah subhanaw taala ordered also as a seller to decide
and stay firm on his decision, placing his trust in Allah subhanaw taala alone. This is such a
beautiful and concise description of Shura and the role of the MA that I want to emphasize it for
all of us. And remind us to remember this is when we are conducting our affairs. Finally, and most
importantly, whatever be the decision, the N di joura must support the image decision irrespective
		

			of whether their opinion had been sought or considered or not.
		

			This is the key, the make or break point of all decisions. Any decision is only as good as its
implementation. And that will not happen without the wholehearted support of all concerned. The
worst thing is for people to participate in assura and then to speak against the decision of the
meat on the excuse that their opinion has not been sought or accepted.
		

			Trust Allah Serrano dalla and his guidance for the Amir in his decision making, which happens when
decisions are taken using the method that Allah subhanho wa Taala ordered us use that is Shura. This
is the Islamic way of consultative decision making. Now for the two tools that I promised to teach
you. The first one is to remain goal focused. This is especially important if there are divergent
opinions. And the discussion tends to get contentious. draw the attention of people back to the
goal. Remind them that the meeting is not about proving who is who is the smartest, but about
solving the problem. Using everybody, everyone's smartness. It is not about me versus you.
		

			But me, plus u plus u plus u plus u vs the problem, success is only and success only comes and
happens when the problem is solved. Not when you make men you made your point, no matter how wisely
and powerfully that may have been keep the focus on the goal all the time. The second tool is called
active listening. This is not only an excellent tool to practice in JIRA meetings, but a powerful
conflict resolution tool. I have used active listening in management union meetings with militant
communist unions and in arbitrations that I presided over with tremendous results. Active listening
forces people to seriously consider the perspective of the other party, leading to her to an
		

			amicable and quick resolution of the issue. For today, however, let me suffice to mention this
communication told you, I will speak about it in detail next week. Sure is so critically important,
because it is the adhesive which gives the oma together. It is a means of learning to keep our focus
on what is good for everyone. And it saves us from destructive selfishness, sure keeps families
together. It facilitates working through difficult decisions and results in healthy collaboration
and teamwork. As in all things Islamic, we do this to please Allah Subhana Allah, Allah Allah and in
obedience to Him.
		

			But the method is beneficial for to embrace beneficial for anyone who wants to practice it, whether
he or she is a Muslim or not. The best form of Dawa is to show the world that Islam works for
everyone.
		

			So you will find them all
		

			lumped up.
