Question
Under what conditions or circumstances can a person appoint himself as an Ameer of a town? What are some qualities that an Ameer should possess or have in himself in today's time and age?
Answer
Never is it permissible for a person to become a selfappointed ameer. Only a man
Durood
Shareef
(A person mentioned that he was saddled with much worry. Hadhrat Thanvi said): "Recite Durood Shareef (in abundance). Durood Shareef is a cause for Rahmat which dispels worry." (Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi)
who is intoxicated with pride entertains such a despicable desire. The very first factor to disqualify a person from leadership or any post of Amaanat (Trust) is his desire for the leadership. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "We do not award (posts) of leadership to a person who hankers after it." Therefore resort to Taubah for the evil desire of the nafs.
