In Quran Surah Fateha, God indicated that management
in all areas should be based on kindness. We can also see
from the life of Imam Ali (as) that how he used to be kind
with all. He used to sit with poor, beggars and handicap
people to open his iftar which shows the extreme level of
kindness. This is how the Islamic leader should be.
After kindness comes the humility. In Quran (The
Quran, n. d., verse 215) God asked the prophet to be
humble towards believers.
" َنيِنِمْؤُمْلا َنِم َكَعَبَّتا ِنَمِل َكَحاَنَج ْضِفْخاَو "

We can clearly lay our judgment that manager should
be humble towards its people. Imam Ali (as) in his letter
(Nahjulbalagah, Letter no 53) advised Malik e Ashtar to
be humble to everyone for the sake of God and handle
their need personally. The knowledge comes after
humility.
The knowledge and power are the two most
fundamentals of any management system. Imam Ali (As)
mentioned in his ((Nahjulbalagah, sermon no.172) that the
most deserving people to rule are the one who has
knowledge, power and understand God’s guideline in
governing matters. Another feature of manager is
patience, being able to control anger and keep patience.
Stress occurs in our daily and social life to control the
stress and to make ourselves calm down we need to have
patience. That is why patience is important for an Islamic
leader. Patience is key to success and leads to victory.
God says in Quran (The Quran, n. d., Verse 115) that “Be
patient; for sure God does not let the reward of the
righteous be wasted”.

" َنيِنِسْحُمْلا َرْجَأ ُعيِضُي اَل َهَّللا َّنِإَف ْرِبْصاَو "
