The Imaam

by mfarnold Feb 2025

Is he the Leader

In a western perceiver?

No ! He is In Arabic Wisdom,

One who Serves 

His people with steel nerves -

Fearless and creatively supportive

of What will give directive,

Towards a progressive

Narrative.

He is one who see to, 

Cares for, repair.. is the Foundation

of a his community,

Creating unity.

for collective prosperity.

He is the "Mother Figure"

Who knows the needs of his people,

Uses his Mosque as the Government

House, That when The Athaan

Calls for "The Meeting",

Is Ready to inform his Congregation,

To address the specific needs

of different families,

Because He regularly visits 

The Neighbourhood... and knows!

Anything short of the above,

Is passive, exploitive

Regressive, Oppressive, 

Destructive, Corrosive,

Subversive and sedative.

When a community struggles

It rests on the Imaam, who Is the Example,

To provide in ample,

To Create a Community of Example.

The Practical involvement

of The Imaam procurement,

Sets a community into real improvements,

Because he represents

The Prophetic agent,

In these days of recent,

and not the western "leader", 

Bureaucratic "ruler",

Hardly ready as a "server".
