Huzur-e-Anwar said
I would like to draw attention towards the responsibilities of office bearers. First and foremost is to adopt humility. It should be borne in mind that Allah is always watching and in fact, such people are under even greater scrutiny from God. They should work with the mentality that if they have been selected and then approved by the Caliph of the Time, then they must carry out their work to the best of their abilities. If this mentality is adopted, then the true spirit of work will be inculcated, and members of the Community will cooperate. Sometimes complaints are received about members of the Community not cooperating. Certainly, members should cooperate, however, it is also the responsibility of office bearers to establish their examples for others.
Every office bearer should bear in mind that, as the Holy Prophet(sa) said, the leader of a nation is the servant of the nation. Similarly, it is the responsibility of office bearers to establish personal connections with the members of the Community in order to foster mutual ties of love. This is, in fact, the reason that they have been made office bearers, so that they may connect with members of the Community. This is the mentality that can beautify the system of the Community and also draw us nearer to God Almighty. The Holy Prophet(sa) said that if one who is entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing other people is negligent in their responsibilities to them, then God will forbid them from Paradise. This is a great warning and cause for great concern.
.
Holy Prophet(sa) is also recorded to have said that everyone has the responsibility of overseeing something, and they will be questioned about it on the Day of Judgement. This includes Amirs. Overseeing others refers to the responsibility of helping and reforming others, not to simply rule. Just as a husband oversees the house and a wife oversees the children, it is for their betterment, not to simply exert control over them. If this responsibility is not fulfilled, then according to the Holy Prophet(sa), paradise becomes forbidden.
