Islam is a religion that is present as a mercy to the worlds. In the early presence Islam is against all forms of discrimination, exploitation and humiliation of human dignity of humanity, therefore, one of the apostolic mission of the Prophet Muhammad is the liberation of human beings as a whole as the best among the various elements of life. Leadership is the main pillar of the passage of a mechanism or system to comply with all the good, welfare, prosperity and welfare of the human being. Leadership in Islam is a very important thing and guarded existence and keberlansungannya and leader occupies a strategic position, which is called the "Ulil Amri", where people are required ketataannya to "Ulil Amri" is.
The leader is a figure, a figure that most of the central mechanisms for services to human well-being and security. Leader in Islam is like a Prima Causa (Main propulsion) to another move in rhythm and harmony suitability responsibility for maintaining human security and welfare requirements. In the Islamic concept, leadership is not something that can arbitrarily be taken by anyone, there are certain requirements that must be met to become a leader, among the most important are:
Leadership is representative of the metaphysical aspect of divinity, that is, that leadership is only a "delegated authority", not an absolute power without limits. This can be understood as a guide to avoid the authoritarian nature of a leader.
Not begging position, let alone by any means to achieve it. Leaders begging position, then he will never be independent, because it will always be controlled by a variety of mutual interests between the few and will potentially large ignore the rights of the many.
Independence, self-reliance associated with autonomous and independent aspects of a leader. A leader of an independent, will always be responsible for his behavior, will not be controlled by influences that are not good outside himself.
The leader has finished with itself, meaning that no leader has no other desire than to serve and protect its people. The main functions and tasks of leadership is to "serve", not to seek wealth, accumulate wealth and bermewah-stacked-mewahana excessively. Because if a leader seeking riches in his leadership, the nature of the "mandate" has gone from a leader, because he just made the mandate given to him as a tool only. concept ideally, should not make the trust given to a leader only as a tool, but the fact is to make "trust" given as a goal to provide prosperity and well-being to all men.
The leader does not belong to the group, belonging to a certain religion and belongs to a particular area, when to be a leader, then he belongs to all and a duty to provide welfare to all. If the leader just made and positioned itself as belonging to a certain group and a certain religion, then the leader has made a "huge historical sin" because the leadership has been losing the essence of Islam as "Rahmatan lil'alamin.
An important point that is emphasized by the relevant Islamic leadership, that leadership orientation is not a power, but a "mandate to serve", leadership is not serving rulers, not leaders. Exemplary aspects occupy a central point in the charisma of a leader. If a leader has a good attitude, then around it would also be good, if a leader is honest, then around it will also be honest, then vice versa, if a dishonest leader, the round will not be honest, and it is definitely corruption, abuse of power will occur. It is a definite law, because rationally, the leader is "main motion" that would affect the other motions.
Above it all, the concept of an ideal leader in Islam is a position that is filled by the plenary humans, enlightened human beings, a leader who has been enlightened, then it will definitely combines all enlightenment to all people. In this case, spirituality occupy an important position in the control mechanism of leadership, a leader who has high spiritual value, will surely continue to be enlightened, because spirituality is the most effective control point in providing service to the people, for a leader of spirituality will guide a leader to continue see the state of the people with "affection", not by "compassion and pity", because if you see people with "nostalgia", then there is no element of equality among human beings.
