Abstract

Praise be to God, prayer and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah and after :
For the Holy Qur’an is the constitution of this nation, and it has included everything that the nation needs, and it has appropriate solutions for all the problems it faces, and for a long time the nation has its vision for the future, waiting for a leader who carries the concerns of this nation and proceeds towards progress and progress, so that it rises to the glory and glory. He brings it out from what it is today, from its deterioration in all levels.
The world has witnessed in recent decades the development of programs and curricula, and books have been prepared showing how to prepare leaders and their industry, and what programs they should adopt in order to succeed, whether in the leadership of institutions or the leadership of countries, hence the importance of the topic, where the urgent need for a leader with specifications Especially, through a reflective pause in the Noble Qur’an, I found that Surat al-Naml and the story of Solomon in particular carried all the answers that the questioner needed about the qualities of the leader that the nation wants, and through my careful reading of this story, I found that it showed beyond doubt the qualities that qualify a person for leadership, and the attributes That he must show With it, this was a direct and important reason for my choosing this topic, as I found satisfactory answers to the above questions.
The research was divided into four sections with an introduction and a conclusion:
As for the first topic: it dealt with the definition of leadership with language and terminology, and the conditions of the Imam set by Muslim scholars.
As for the second topic: It was on the qualities that qualify for leadership, and it contains four demands, the first in knowledge and recognition by the grace of God, and the second in inheritance and thanks to God for his grace, and the third was on the firm belief that he advocated thanksgiving and righteousness, and the last demand was about keenness on the parish, fear and mercy on them.
The third topic was on the leadership qualities of our master Solomon, peace be upon him
And it has five demands in following up the parish and asking about them, and the severity of the punishment with justice, charity, validation and identification from the news, courage and strength in decision-making, and the strength of personality and self-confidence.
As for the fourth topic, it was about the leadership qualities of the Queen of Sheba, and it contains four demands on the Shura about the matter, building the vision on the basis of interests and evils, and following the truth and surrender to it.
My methodology in the study was an objective one, as I mentioned the verse and its interpretation from the books of interpretation, then I tried to link this to what I found from recent writings, so I combined the old and the modern as much as I have from the sources.
Then I concluded the research with the most important results of the research, and I have reviewed everything that provides books on interpretation, biography, hadith and Sunnah, and some recent references in leadership and their conditions.

Finally, I say that it is the effort of the eyeballs, because if you do well from God, and if you offend myself, then our last prayer is that praise be to God, Lord of the worlds.
