Tafsir of Surah Al-Ma'idah

In this powerful and thought-provoking talk, Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera explores the true essence of leadership in Islam and beyond. Addressing students of sacred knowledge, he reminds them that scholarship is not merely about learning — it is about responsibility. Once recognized as people of knowledge, the community will naturally look to them for guidance, strength, and direction.

Drawing on the prophetic teaching that “the leader is the servant of his people,” Dr. Mangera emphasizes that genuine leadership is rooted in humility and service, not authority or status. This lecture challenges every aspiring scholar and community member to redefine what it means to lead — to see leadership as an act of service, compassion, and sacrifice in the pursuit of uplifting others.
