## Resource

What is the biggest leadership crisis facing the Ummah today? According to internationally renowned Islamic scholar, author and leadership consultant Sheikh Mirza Yawar Baig, it is not a lack of knowledge, but a failure to disagree with respect and humility. In this thought-provoking conversation with Radio Islam International, Sheikh Baig explores the foundations of authentic Islamic leadership, emphasising that true leaders are defined by service, compassion, truthfulness and accountability before Allah. He also discusses the impact of ego on the Muslim community, the challenges posed by social media and artificial intelligence, and the responsibility parents have in raising the next generation of confident, principled Muslims. Drawing on lessons from the Seerah and Islamic history, Sheikh Baig offers practical advice for strengthening families, communities and organisations. He concludes with a powerful message for South African Muslims: let your service speak for itself and allow your actions to become the strongest form of da'wah.
