Abstract
This reflection article aims to provide some insights on the concept of sejahtera leadership based on verse 165 from Surah Al-An‘am. Leadership in Islam is usually connected to the concept of ‗khalifah.‘ Human is regarded as a leader over other creatures due to the advantages bestowed upon him and is responsible to develop the earth according to the wishes of Allah. As inhabitants of the earth, human are successors of the previous generations. The effort to develop the earth depends on the contributions of the previous generations. Human are bestowed with different skills and resources, which has divided human into different rank. The superiors become leaders and the inferiors become the followers. In Islam, leaders should be selected based on two qualities: strength and trustworthiness. They are responsible for organizing the resources through cooperation and participation of everyone to achieve falah. Since leaders are prone to the temptation to abuse their position at the expense of the followers, Allah reminds humans that they will be held accountable for all their actions.
