Today’s lecture by Dr. Ghazala Qadri focused on Leadership Beyond Titles, emphasizing that leadership is not defined by formal roles, but by the ability to influence, inspire, and take responsibility. Dr. Ghazala stressed that anyone has the potential to be a leader by demonstrating accountability and fulfilling responsibilities.

She highlighted the importance of global awareness and evolving with societal changes to ensure leadership remains effective. Leaders must adapt, plan responsibly, and ensure programs align with organizational goals while reflecting strong moral values.

She outlined the essential components of leadership—clear objectives and responsibility-centered approaches—urging leaders to stay focused on goals and always be accountable to others. She also emphasized the Minhaj-ul-Quran Women League’s mission, encouraging systematic event planning, new member engagement, and ensuring all initiatives reflect the core values of Minhaj-ul-Quran.

This insightful lecture underscored that leadership must be driven by a sense of responsibility, societal awareness, and the ability to inspire others toward piety, following the Quranic principles of Āl-i-’Imrān (3:104).

Dr. Ghazala Qadri’s session at al-Tarbiyah 2024 offered a comprehensive understanding of leadership grounded in Islamic principles. She encouraged field teams to engage in self-reflection, repentance, and continuous spiritual growth to ensure sincerity and integrity in their roles.

Dr. Ghazala described several traits essential for effective leadership. Vision and purpose were identified as key qualities, enabling leaders to pursue goals that serve humanity and uphold obedience to Allah Almighty. Trustworthiness was emphasized as a crucial trait for building credibility, along with empathy and compassion, which allow leaders to connect with and inspire those they serve. Practical strategies were shared to help participants develop their leadership potential. Leadership, she explained, is a privilege that comes with the responsibility to uplift and guide others.
