Criteria of the Leader's Efficiency, Among the Group, Choosing the Most Suitable CandidateAbstract
This research aims to highlight the most important qualities that a Responsible man, should possess and to clarify the most significant outcomes resulting from the work of the group under their leadership, whether it be effective and successful leadership or the opposite. The importance of the research, Came from the meaning of follows of the Holy verse said by Allah Almighty, “They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear. Those are like cattle; rather, they are more astray. Those are the heedless.”([1]). The research methodology lies in the descriptive analysis, investigation, and examination of the most important innate and acquired qualities and qualifications that a leader needs to perform his duties. Therefore, the researcher used the descriptive-analytical method. The study yielded several results, including: A Muslim entrusted with public responsibility in a Muslim state, and committed intellectually and behaviorally to the teachings of Islam, will be a trustworthy guardian of the country's and people's resources. He will implement justice, spread truth, preserve the rights of others, and protect the state's assets under his care. A leader fulfills the state's function properly, considering that he represents it in serving the community around him. Consequently, he must undertake actions that bring about benefits, avert harm, and establish equity in the rights of Allah (Exalted He) and the rights of people. He is among those in authority who are entrusted with great responsibilities, whether administrative, judicial, defensive, or related to livelihood. Many Responsible men may not possess the required qualifications, yet they are entrusted with the task, potentially leading to negative outcomes and a failure to achieve the intended goals. This underscores the importance of studying this topic. Furthermore, Islamic law demonstrates its concern for people's lives, extending beyond mere security to encompass the economic and social well-being of individuals in all its forms. It also emphasizes the establishment of justice based on equal rights for all, grounded in Islamic principles. Islamic law requires leaders to prioritize the most suitable candidate over the merely suitable one. Choosing someone unsuitable when a more suitable candidate exists constitutes a breach of trust. While administrative practices often rely on the interpretations of leaders and imams in specific details, their fundamental principles, rulings, and foundations are derived from Islamic law. The study recommends establishing a consultative council—as a means of embedding the concept of democracy—in every institution, since consultation shurah (Islamic Law) is the fundamental principle of governance in Islam. This is contingent upon the council members being individuals of sound judgment and insight, known for their wisdom and virtue. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of fostering positive human relations within the institution, as this strengthens employees' sense of security and peace of mind. The study also stresses that positions and responsibilities should always be entrusted to capable, trustworthy individuals who are committed to providing social security, thus achieving social solidarity within the community, Consultation and participation by the community are considered among the most important tools that a responsible man should utilize. Oversight of the leader begins with their own conscience, which is guided by Allah (Exalted He) in every action they take.
