The Art of Leading Without Sacrificing Your Morals | Surah Kahf Ep6 | Hisham Abu Yusuf

Описание: True leadership in Islam is not defined by weakness or withdrawal from power, but by moral restraint, justice, and responsibility. Surah Al-Kahf presents Dhul-Qarnayn as a model of ethical authority — a man granted immense power, resources, and influence, yet one who never allowed them to corrupt his character.

The Qur’an shows that power itself is not condemned. What is condemned is using power without accountability to Allah. Dhul-Qarnayn used his authority to protect the vulnerable, establish justice, and serve people without seeking praise or domination. His response, “This is a mercy from my Lord” (18:98), reveals the mindset of a leader who remains grounded despite worldly control.

Muslims are not commanded to abandon strength, wealth, or influence. They are commanded to use them correctly. A community that refuses power leaves decisions in the hands of those without moral restraint. Surah Al-Kahf teaches that leadership guided by faith prevents corruption, arrogance, and oppression.

Moral leadership requires:
• Power without ego
• Strength without injustice
• Influence without compromise
• Wealth without attachment

Dhul-Qarnayn represents the Qur’anic balance between authority and humility, proving that greatness in leadership comes from submission to Allah, not domination over people. For the Ummah to fulfil its responsibility, it must pursue strength — and carry it with taqwa.
