Dear leader, how will you lead? – A Poem

Dear leader, how will you lead?

“Everyone is a leader, and everyone is responsible for whom they lead.”
    
Dear leader, how will your voice shatter the windows of ignorance’s house?
    
How will your actions divulge arrogance’s blinding veil from your ummah’s hearts?
     
How will you lead to bring harmony to humanity’s broken parts?
    
How will you lead your own soul, to cut through your heart’s staining disease?
    
How will you lead with love’s voice and serenity’s peace?
    
How will you lead, to reconnect the broken chains of history?
    
How will you lead to wake the voice of truth, and uncover our Ummah’s mystery?
    
Dear leader, if you don’t believe in your own abilities to lead, believe in Allah’s (s.w.t) ability to help you.
    
Dear leader, how will you lead and bow down to Allah (s.w.t) through every single deed?
    
Dear leader, how will you lead?


The above is a poem entered into the Ladies as Leaders’ 3rd Anniversary Competition on Saturday 25th August 2018.
