letterLeadershipLetter 53 (to Malik al-Ashtar)
“Infuse your heart with mercy, love, and kindness for your subjects. Do not behave toward them as a ravenous beast, for they are of two kinds: either a brother in faith or one like you in creation.”
MEANING
Authority is a trust. Those under your care deserve mercy — whether they share your faith or simply share your humanity.
TAKE THIS INTO YOUR DAY
Pick one person under your influence and do one small kindness for them today.
