When we hear the word "Leaders", our minds quickly take us to the presidents, governors, senators, emirs, and so on. But we all are leaders in our own rights and we all will be questioned by Allah on what we have been given the responsibility to look after.
Abdullah ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. The leader of people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects.
A man is the guardian of his family and he is responsible for them. A woman is the guardian of her husband’s home and his children and she is responsible for them. The servant of a man is a guardian of the property of his master and he is responsible for it.
Infact, every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock.”

Yes, the President is responsible for the nation, but a Governor is also responsible for his state, a Chairman for his local govt and a councillor

Yes, the President is responsible for the nation, but a Governor is also responsible for his state, a Chairman for his local govt and a councillor
for his ward. A district head for his district, a village head for his village, you and me for our small families. We all have one responsibility or another, and Allah will hold us all accountable one day.
Even in our own societies, there are responsibilities of righting a wrong and ordering good to be done which is on us all. We have individual responsibilities to ensure that the society is peaceful, habitable & obedient to Allah. There are things I can do, there are some you can.
Are we doing what we should do to make things right, or we are waiting for the governors and presidents to do it? Is it everything that would be done by the President or the governor? Or there are things we can do ourselves?
