Among the beauties of the Prophetic biography (Seerah)

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,080
The leader’s initiative

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:15,580
Leadership is neither a luxurious chair nor fine attire

4
00:00:15,580 --> 00:00:18,579
Nor is it a prestigious position

5
00:00:18,579 --> 00:00:22,579
Rather, it is sincere action, high ambition

6
00:00:22,579 --> 00:00:24,579
And earnest initiative

7
00:00:24,579 --> 00:00:30,579
This is what the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, intended in his leadership journey

8
00:00:30,579 --> 00:00:34,579
He bequeathed to us the finest and greatest of qualities

9
00:00:34,579 --> 00:00:38,859
It is recorded in the two Sahih collections on the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

10
00:00:38,859 --> 00:00:45,859
The Prophet, peace be upon him, was the most handsome and the bravest of people

11
00:00:45,859 --> 00:00:48,859
The people of Madinah were once startled one night

12
00:00:48,859 --> 00:00:50,859
They went out toward the sound

13
00:00:50,859 --> 00:00:54,859
The Prophet, peace be upon him, met them coming back

14
00:00:54,859 --> 00:00:56,859
He had already investigated the news

15
00:00:57,859 --> 00:01:02,859
He was riding a horse belonging to Abu Talhah that had no saddle, with his sword around his neck

16
00:01:02,859 --> 00:01:04,859
He was saying:

17
00:01:04,859 --> 00:01:07,859
"Do not be alarmed, do not be alarmed."

18
00:01:07,859 --> 00:01:11,859
Then he said, "We found it to be a sea,"

19
00:01:11,859 --> 00:01:15,859
Or he said, "It is indeed a sea,"

20
00:01:15,859 --> 00:01:19,859
Referring to the horse, which had been slow

21
00:01:19,859 --> 00:01:23,409
He was the first and fastest of them to reach the source of the sound

22
00:01:23,409 --> 00:01:26,409
He reassured the people and identified the source

23
00:01:26,409 --> 00:01:30,409
This is sufficient for learning true leadership

24
00:01:30,409 --> 00:01:34,409
The required decisiveness, and swift initiative

25
00:01:34,409 --> 00:01:39,409
Such are the morals of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him

26
00:01:39,409 --> 00:01:42,109
Add to this

27
00:01:42,109 --> 00:01:46,109
His ultimate courage and his unique self-reliance

28
00:01:46,109 --> 00:01:49,109
And his lack of dependence on others

29
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:52,109
For the situation required urgent speed

30
00:01:52,109 --> 00:01:56,109
An early departure, and personal initiative

31
00:01:56,109 --> 00:01:59,109
Which is exactly what he, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, did

32
00:01:59,109 --> 00:02:02,109
He was able to identify the danger

33
00:02:02,109 --> 00:02:04,109
And minimize its impact

34
00:02:04,109 --> 00:02:07,109
In this is the recommendation to reassure people

35
00:02:07,109 --> 00:02:10,110
And to give them glad tidings of the removal of fear

36
00:02:10,110 --> 00:02:13,110
And all its causes and precursors

37
00:02:13,110 --> 00:02:15,110
And peace
