I have been wanting to write something on Islamic concept of Siyasah for quite some time, but I just couldn't find the time..and till now I am still not ready to dive into such heavy topic of discussion without being backed up by extensive and vast amount of literatures and proof. Yes, yes I do have the gross structure of how the discussion is going to be. Time, time that is all i need (sigh). And it would be my reply to a comment from someone towards my article on Islamic leadership.
In simple words, Siyasah means politic and politic means leadership. I'm not trying to bring in the issue of any political PARTIES, but enough said that politic is all about strategy and influence; whereby one create strategies, lay out the plans and influence people to act according to his conscience.
If I am allowed to give my humble comment on the recent SRC General Election, it is a good example of in-campus politic. It's not a secret anyway that the candidates influence the people to elect him/ her to be a leader
because he/she thinks he has the capability to be a leader. No doubt he has his own mission & aim to become a leader, and no doubt he will use his charms to make sure others will
look at the world through his eyes and internalize the very same dreams he has.
Sounds evil though, but that is the reality of politic (haha). It's not evil actually. What's wrong in it when the leader is a Muslim and aspire to place Islam at it's rightful place, lead the ummah to worship Allah and such???...
Indeed,nothing wrong in it.. But regarding the method of choosing a leader in Islam, I'll elaborate some other time insyaAllah
And regarding the enquiries which I have received, questioning the relationship between me and SRC.. umm let us just put that matter to rest, believing that probably this time around, we are not destined to be together :)
