Certainly there are women who have become a leader or a head of state and many more women in the future will become state leaders. Some people may argue that women are better suited to become a leader simply because there are women who have become leaders in this world. In my opinion, certainly women can become leaders but women cannot be the best leader. Women are not suitable to become the best leaders of mankind. Allah has never made a woman a Prophet because women cannot become the best leaders of mankind. The best person at any time in history was always the Prophet and the Prophet is the best person. Allah will choose the best person at any time of history to become a Prophet and all Prophets were leaders and they were all men. During the time of Prophet Solomon whom was also a King, there was a woman by the name of Princess Balqis who ruled a country near the present day Yemen. Princess Balqis ruled a country where the people worshipped the sun as their God. A bird from the Kingdom of King Suleiman named Hud-Hud went to that country and witnessed the acts of worship performed by the people of Princess Balqis and reported it to King Suleiman. King Suleiman sent a letter via Hud-Hud and ordered Princess Balqis to become a Muslim and submit to Allah. To show his authority to Princess Balqis, by the power of Allah, the throne of Princess Balqis was brought to the court of King Suleiman in just a split second. There were women even during those times who had become rulers but not a Prophet. Women certainly can become a leader but women can never become the best leaders like the Prophets. Women can only become a leader when there is no man who is good as the Prophets to become a leader. (more…)
