Listen "Power Hungry"
Episode Synopsis
Sheikh Suleiman Moola addresses the often occuring problem of being Power Hungry. What is meant by being hungry for power?
It is seeking a position of authority that brings with it fame. The ego yearns for power more than it yearns for wealth. After all part of the package of power is wealth. Unfortunately these days people hold on to that power for dear life and will go to unconscionable lengths for that power.
In the golden days of Islam our ancestors shunned positions of power. They avoided such posts for fear of failing in their duties. They instead went the extra mile to deflect such appointments for fear of standing at the edge of Hell.
The respected Sheikh tells us of such a tale. It is the tale of the appointment of the judge of Basra during the rule of Umar ibn Abdul Aziz.
Can we in all sincerity lay claim to such love for Allah's pleasure and such fear of transgressing His edicts that we would refuse and refuse such appointments?
If you have just a few minutes before the next meeting or are waiting for the bus or even caught in jam, listen to this short yet packed talk by Sheikh Moola.
