Over the years and even in present day society, you see people who literally kill for the throne. They will do anything for power, even if it means getting rid of their own father or brother. Bribery and corruption are also quite common in many "democracies". I look at all this people and wonder what on earth they're thinking. Being in charge of a country is a HUGE responsibility, and yet you see people just chasing after it..

Personally, I would NEVER want to be in charge of a country, no matter what the circumstances were. Perhaps the ones that would could please help me understand what is so appealing about having all that power?

Interesting question! Personally, I would never want to rule a country. No matter how good your intentions are, it is impossible to please everybody. Also, I don't like people having a negative opinion of me and if I was in power, many people probably would (as difficult to imagine as that is :D)

Then again, as Muslims, we do have the perfect example in Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as a leader. None of them 10p tax rows would happen then, ey?

That is indeed the question! I very much doubt that anybody ever could match up to him but at least he has set the ideals and we have something concrete to aspire to and to keep us on the right track. There is a reason that he was sent to us as an example, no?

im really suprised that 11 people have said yes

perhaps they dont understand the responsibility and they implications more importantly for the hereafter :| people fight for power but the khalifas were actually very reluctant to take their positions of leadership and look what amazing people they were and they were afraid of doing injustice! and for eg was it abu hurairah/ abu hanifa ? who was beaten but would not take the position of qadi? they were so afraid of not being able to fulfil the duties of leadership
so those who have said yes should reflect on their choice and its implications.

No, its a turn-based strategy. You can still build Mosques though, and you can play as the Ottomans if you get the expansion packs. Or you could modify the game and add them in yourself.

EDIT: No, sorry, the failure was Empire Earth III not age of Empires...

There was a golden age of art and culture under her reign, with people like Shakespeare and Ben Jonson prospering. The country was also at peace for most of the time, even with France. However, the Spanish didn't like protestant England, or English pirates preying on their treasure ships, so they sent the Armada to finish off England and probably forcibly convert the whole country to Catholicism. That's when Elizabeth made her famous speech:
''I may have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king''.
The English fleet defeated the Spanish Armada, which was forced to sail north around Scotland and Ireland to escape to Spain. There was a storm going on at the time and most of the remaining Spainish ships were sunk.

hmmm... I love playing simcity games.... after building a cool city... I just destroy it....

So..I am not capable of being a ruler or my subjects would be destroyed.

Excellent point, and might I add she didn't do it all by herself. She did it the way I would, by establishing a council for guidance. No leader, male or female could rule without one. In fact, the whole concept of rulership has become confused ever since it was suggested that leaders rule on their own. If you sift through the pages of history, the very best of them were the ones who didn't rule, but actively sought consultation first.

Bush never did this! Let the history show, he actively defied consultation every time it questioned his own presonal agenda. He is now plannng to defy his own Supreme Court - because he thinks he's an expert on Law now, as well as Combat. In truth, he's sadly lacking in knowledge of both. Not that I'm suggesting Hillary Clinton, but that wasn't because of her sex. That was because she spoke the "Language of the Powerless" (lies), and tried to pass them off as a "misspeak".

If I ruled, I would immediately call a truce and offer a general amnesty to the soldiers involved in the wars (all sides). After that, I would summon the leaders who were involved in these wars and have them appoint who they think best to become a member of council to represent their interests. Only until the council has fully viewed all the statements from all sides would decisions be made to deal with those issues, one by one, until they are all fully resolved in the best interests of the nations that are affected.

I would go for the heart of the current warfare, Palestine. I would ask why a land that was pledged to Allah, by an anointed Caliph, was treated no differently than "product" by the Palestinians, to be bought and sold for coin. I'd be interested to understand this because I believe that might be why Allah was upset. I mean, if they didn't respect the Caliph Omar, who decreed the land was owned only by Allah, than what good is the Caliph to the people? And, if the people decreed for themselves that the land could be bought and sold like any other piece of real estate, why do they complain when the world powers treated it no differently? But these are the sorts of questions I would direct toward Al Qaeda and the other groups who complain the most on this issue because they are the questions that haven't been asked or answered... and I don't ask to justify the mistreatment of the land. I only ask to demonstrate the fact that it wasn't just the Christians, the Jews or the world powers who were at fault. In my opinion, everyone had a hand in the undoing, so everyone must have a hand in the solution.

That's why I would want to rule, because that is the only way I could make EVERYONE ELSE rule! I'm just one of those strange souls who believe that Justice can be that perfect.

During the days (of the battle) of Al-Jamal, Allah benefited me with a word I had heard from Allah's Apostle after I had been about to join the Companions of Al-Jamal (i.e. the camel) and fight along with them. When Allah's Apostle was informed that the Persians had crowned the daughter of Khosrau as their ruler, he said, "Such people as ruled by a lady will never be successful."

I'm pretty sure that would be the reason, but I would expect a council of male scholars to rule for me. The only reason I would want to rule in the first place, is only to order them to assemble so there would BE a council. Once established they would be tasked with sorting out these ages old disputes and, when that's finished, choose a Caliph. Thus far, I haven't seen many men taking this head-on. They're the ones who are doing all the shouting and name-calling. So, if they're going to behave like women on PMS, why shouldn't the women behave like men?

It's funny. I'm not the only one who had a problem with this. Abu Musab also wanted to know how it was that the women wanted to fight in place of their men. He asked: Should I allow these women to fight, while their men stay home with the make-up brushes and mascara? I nearly fell off my chair when I read that!

I'm glad she met her fate as she did. She gave rajiv gandhi all documents that had information held by Zia who was helping Sikhs in our plight for an independent homeland. She decided to lick arse of the indian government so she could get 'favour' and begin peace talks, as india pakistan relations were not the best. This move was the cause of thousands of innocent Sikhs being taken, tortured, raped and then killed in fake encounters! Something still rife today!

I have always had ambitions to rule the world not just one country.. and I was greatly disappointed when I turned 21 without realizing my childhood dream... I had a complete plan on how I was going to stage a coup.. how to fix global economy, as well as dealing with the politics, social structure and beliefs...

I had points of millitary interests on my wall size map which has since come down.. great ideas for citis including the nameless ones to make them a great focal point.. then after I had exhaustively fixed all that needed to be fixed.. I'd relinquish it for a group of pious men to run it....

but the world needs a ruthless unyielding gal like me to fix it in one shot...
anyhow.. I have taken my ambitions down a few notches... but every now and then I can't help reflect on what might have been if I didn't let my super ego take charge..

100% right, this isnt sexist, its fact. women have their roles, and leading a country or nation isnt one of them, this is a man's job.

just to prove my point and show you guys have nothing on this hadith, if its sexist to say women cant rule, and they deserve to be equal, then why is it wrong to beat women? thats what i want to know. offcourse its wrong and shunned to beat women because their weaker etc etc, is that sexist? nope. just the reality and way it is. just like this, women shouldnt rule, sexist? nope. just the way it is.

I disagree, look at the wording of the Prophet PBUH. He said " such people" which implies that the type of people they were, perhaps for some social defect or hidden motives of the people, would not benefit from a woman leading them. If he meant for all time he would have said No people would ever benefit, but instead said SUCH people. I believe that we must beware of misinterpreting the Prophet PBUH.




On topic though, I would rather not be king. There are many people who are better orators than me and with better people skills. But if necessary I would do it, at least until someone better is found. Otherwise, I would be the first person to take the king down if he goes astray.

Well, is it OK for women to beat men, because apparantly they are "stronger"? No, because it's not humanely or morally right. There have been cases were the men got physically abused in a relationship by the women, for example. The comparsion with beating women and women ruling a country is not a good one, nor a deserved one.

AntiKarateKid made a good point, it does say such people.

We arent qualified to interpret hadith, so dont even attempt to.

Such people as ruled by a lady not, as ruled by this lady.

Your stance is incorrect, based on a meaningless interpretation, that misses half the hadith.

Women were never given a position of leadership, in the time of the sahabah, or in the time of the Propet (SAWS). It was for a reason.

Your stance is incorrect, based on a meaningless interpretation, that misses half the hadith.
Maybe it's just me, but the stance still stands even though it says a lady. Such people, those people wouldn't prevail if any woman ruled over them. So that makes one believe it doesn't mean every other kind of people wouldn't have it well if a woman ruled.

But... I have to agree of course, we aren't quallified to interpretant the hadiths, sadly.
