The concept of leadership and its definition. Leadership is generally understood as the ability to lead and guide.
This understanding is not new, nor is it tied to any other issue. It is also important in the political aspect that was present in the movement of Ibn Saud. The political movement, in its progress, was influenced by factors and circumstances.
The most important factor was leadership. The concept of leadership and obedience is related to the ruler and his subjects.
The leader must have a book in his hand, which is the book of leadership, and he must be able to apply it in all aspects of his life. This is what the book of leadership, which contains many opinions and narratives from various aspects, discusses.
The concept of leadership is related to this issue, and it is a group of issues.
The reality of leadership: The leader said, in the meaning of leadership, "obedience is its meaning."
"And the pursuit of the matter and the adherence to it, and the hearing and the response, and the initiation and the pursuit of the matter." (60) It is clear from this explanation that the essence of leadership is the adherence to the Sunnah of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, in little and much.
The essence of leadership is the adherence to the Sunnah of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and it is its basis. The scholars, even if their schools of thought differed, agreed on this basis.
And it is what the scholar Rabie bin Suleiman said in his saying: "The forms of these definitions have changed, and it is the loyalty to the Ummah in its command, and it is not possible to be loyal to it in any way."
As the scholar Al-Jalali said: "It is the opposition of the leader to the basis of obedience." He said: "The leader must adhere to the Ummah in its entirety, so that he adheres to the Ummah in its entirety."
And the scholars of the sciences, with their eloquence and their understanding of the word, are distinguished by their actions, which are the actions of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace.
