Whether you are a mother or father in charge of leading a family, a CEO in charge of an organization, a middle manager or sports coach in charge of leading a team, or just someone who cares about the world and wants to make an impact to improve it, we are all shepherds, as the hadith goes:
‘All of you are shepherds and each of you is responsible for his flock…’ [Sahih al-Bukhari]
A leader is the modern-day equivalent of the ‘shepherd’ referred to in this hadith — and as Muslim leaders, we must have a solid understanding of what’s happening in the world around us both past and present to better position ourselves as an ummah.
