The One Mistake That Destroys Great Leaders | Ustadh Hisham Abu Yusuf

The One Mistake That Destroys Great Leaders | Ustadh Hisham Abu Yusuf Credits:‪@hishamabuyusuf‬ Is power a blessing or a curse? History is full of civilizations that claimed to be enlightened—mastering science, mathematics, and philosophy—only to use their power to annihilate entire populations. In the 21st century, the temptation of power, wealth, and influence is everywhere. From the boardrooms to our households, we all possess some measure of control. But how do we ensure we don't succumb to the "intoxication" of power? In this episode, we study the life of Dhul-Qarnayn from the Quran. Unlike the tyrants of history, he was a leader who balanced massive influence with profound humility and justice. He provides the blueprint for what it means to be a righteous person in a position of authority. In this video, you will discover: The Reality of Power: Why influence is like a "drug" that can make you drunk, and how to stay grounded. Dhul-Qarnayn vs. Alexander: Why the mystery of Dhul-Qarnayn’s identity is irrelevant compared to the principles he lived by. The Iron Wall Principle: What it means to cooperate for the common good and why true leaders refuse to profit from those they serve. The "Mercy" Filter: How to stand back after an accomplishment and say, "This is by the mercy of my Lord," rather than "Look what I have done." The Atomic Lesson: Why advanced civilization without moral principles leads to destruction, and how to build a legacy that Allah actually accepts. Whether you are a community leader, a parent, or someone striving for success in your career, this talk will challenge your definition of "making it." Power gives you a choice: you can destroy, or you can build.
