Whenever people come together, there is need to have a leader among them who will lead and direct their affairs (Abu Daawud). However, the following are some of the rights of a leader in ISLAM:(1) Patience with him(Bukhari and Muslim), (2) Praying for his guidance, not destruction (Abu Nu'aim), (3) Sincere advise in secret, and support in truth (Muslim), (4) Respect for him, and not to disparage him (Tirmidhi),and ( 5) Obedience except where commanded to do wrong (Nisaa, 4:59).
May Allah guide us!
