A. INTRODUCTION 

Leadership has been described as a process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task. Good leaders are made not born. If you have the desire and willpower, you can become an effective leader. Good leaders develop through a never ending process of self-study, education, training, and experience. This guide will help us through that process. Leaders carry out this process by applying their leadership knowledge and skills. While leadership is learned, the skills and knowledge processed by the leader can be influenced by his or hers attributes or traits, such as beliefs, values, ethics, and character. 

Knowledge and skills contribute directly to the process of leadership, while the other positive, productive, administrative attributes give the leader certain characteristics that make him or her unique. Leadership concept in Islam is very simple and every single person in different levels of responsibilities automatically takes a role of leadership. Leadership role of a Muslim starts as a head of himselves, head o the family, head of a community, head of any given department and of course finally as a head of the community nationally and internationally. In all such leadership, a Muslim whether a leader or a follower primarily abides by the text of Qur‟an followed by the practice of Prophet Mohammad.
