Imam Ali's letter 53 to Maalik outlines 6 basic prerequisites of leadership: 1) Conform to God and prioritize worshipping Him, 2) Love the people of Allah and help them, 3) Control desires and wishes, 4) Judge prior rulers fairly, 5) Keep away from evils, and 6) Avoid brutality and treat subordinates with compassion. The letter provides guidance for leaders to establish an ethical foundation and just administration for the people.

Dietary Supplements, a Glance at Global TrendsFarhad Zargari
Along with the significant increase in the life expectancy,
almost in every culture people are willing to have a better
quality of life, this in turn has intensely changed the
healthcare environment and created new visions and
frontiers. The convergence of health, wellness and beauty spheres, is creating new service areas and thus fresh opportunities for investors and retailers. Global awareness about weight loss, healthy living, protein intake, fitness, and natural beauty is on the rise particularly among the millennials and Gen Xers. One of the principal areas in the new lifestyle paradigm is
dietary supplementation of various substances such as
vitamins, minerals, amino acids, food stuffs, herbs, roots, oils,
animal extracts, etc. to our daily intake. Dietary factors are
known to play an important role in health and diseases, and
there is convincing evidence that adopting a correct diet
containing the essential nutrients can be more effective than
drug treatment in the maintenance of health and prevention
of diseases, thus improving the quality of your natural life.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
3. Principles of Administration
The letter 53 of Imam Ali’s (PBUH) book,
Nahj-ul-Balagha, is a précis of the
principles of administration and justice as
prescribed by Islam. It deals with the duties
and obligations of rulers and leaders, their
chief responsibilities, the question of
priorities of rights and commitments,
dispensation of justice, control over
secretaries and subordinate staff;
distribution of work and duties amongst
the various branches of administration,
their co-ordination with each other and
their co-operation with the center.
3
4. Combat Corruption and Oppression
In the letter Imam Ali (PBUH) advises his companion, Maalik to
combat corruption and oppression amongst the officers, to
control markets and imports and exports, to curb evils of
profiteering, hoarding, and black-marketing.
4
5. Combat Corruption and Oppression
In it he has also explained stages of various classes in a society,
the duties of the government towards the lowest class, how they
are to be looked after and how their conditions are to be
improved, the principle of equitable distribution of wealth and
opportunities, orphans and their up-bringing, maintenance of
the handicapped, crippled and disabled persons and
substitutes in lieu of homes for the aged and the disabled.
5
6. The Rights of Leaders and the Followers
Then Imam discusses the army, of whom it should consist of and
how the ignorant, ruthless and corrupt mercenaries should not
be allowed to join the army as their profession. He lays great
stress upon the honor and the nobility of volunteers who in time
of need, offer their voluntary services to defend the Islamic
State. Finally, he comments upon the rights of rulers over the
ruled and of the ruled over the rulers.
6
7. Main Central Theme
There is a main central theme running all through these
instructions, like one single thread out of which the cloth is
woven, and it is the faith to the Almighty Allah. The rule is of
Allah, the governors and the governed are both creatures of
Allah, and their respective duties are laid down by Allah. The
Almighty expects each one of them to
fulfil his obligations and to do his duties.
The orphans and the depressed are
the trust of Allah, the army is the army
of Allah, whose soldiers should not behave like haughty and
arrogant guerrillas but like honorable and noble knights,
everyone is expected to do his duty to the best of his ability. He
will be rewarded in this world and Paradise accordingly.
7
8. Divine Administration of the People for the
People and by the People
The famous Arab Christian, jurist, poet and philosopher Abdul
Masih Antaaki who died sometime in the beginning of the 20th
Century while discussing this letter 53, writes that it is a far
superior and better code than the one handed down by Moses
and Hamurabi, it explains what a human administration should
be like, how it is to be carried out and it justifies the claims of
Muslims that Islam wants to introduce a Divine administration of
the people for the people and by the people and it wants a
ruler to rule not to please himself but to bring happiness to the
ruled and no religion before Islam tried to achieve this end,
Imam Ali should be congratulated for having introduced these
principles during his rule and for have written them down for the
future generations.

No social and organizational topic has been explored more
obsessively than leadership.

or dissected than leadership.
No role has had more expectations heaped upon it than
leadership.
No failure earns more heated opprobrium than a leadership
failure.

12. Leadership: Definition
Most of this variation stems from the fact that leadership is a
complex phenomenon involving the leader, the followers, and
the situation.

you see it.

in a storm is

Wattleton, F.
Why Leadership?
29. Leadership
As was demonstrated leadership is a very important task in the
family, organizational and social levels. It deeply influences the
micro and macro environments. In all levels it has a significant
impact on the outcomes and shapes the future of the individual
as well as the community. For this reason the pre-qualifications of
taking the leadership roles are of great importance and should
not be compromised. Among all these qualifications there are
some basic requirements which are mainly of an inner aptitude
kind, being honest, ethical and just in our daily behavior and
acting decently based on established principles toward the
people in spite of being in “power”. That’s why Imam Ali (PBUH)
has emphasized on these qualities at the beginning of his letter.
29
31. IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE BENEFICENT, THE
MERCIFUL
These are the orders issued by the creature of Allah, Ali, the son
of Abu Taalib to Maalik, the son of Ashtar when he appointed
Maalik as the Governor of Egypt to collect Zakat (or alms-giving
is the practice of charitable giving by Muslims based on
accumulated wealth) there, to combat the enemies of Islam
and Egypt, to work for the welfare of its people and to look after
its prosperity.
31
32. Leadership Prerequisites
The beginning of letter 53 points out a very basic platform as a
standard for everyone who wants to take leadership roles. This
platform includes all the leadership essential prerequisites and
will be covered in this chapter.
32 1
33. Leadership Prerequisites
I order you, Maalik, always to keep the fear of God in your mind,
to give priority to His worship and to give preference to obeying
His Commands over every other thing in life, to carefully and
faithfully follow the commandments and interdictions as are
given by the Holy Book and the traditions of the Holy Prophet (s)
because the success of a man to attain happiness in this world
and in the next depends upon these qualities, and a failure to
achieve these attributes brings about total failure in both the
worlds.
33
1- Conform to God
1
34. Leadership Prerequisites
I order you to use your head, heart, hands and tongue to help
the people of Allah because the Almighty God holds Himself
responsible to help those who sincerely try their best to help Him.
34
2- Love the People
1
35. Leadership Prerequisites
Allah has further ordered you to keep your desires under control,
to keep yourself under restraint when excessive and
unreasonable yearnings and cravings try to drive you towards
vice and wickedness. Your inner 'self' tries to incite and drag you
towards disgrace and infamy unless the Merciful Lord comes to
your help.
35
3- Control Your Desires and Wishes
1
36. Leadership Prerequisites
Let it be known to you, Maalik, that I am sending you as a
governor to a country which has seen many rulers before you.
Some of them were compassionate, sympathetic and good,
while others were tyrannical, oppressive and cruel. People will
judge your government as critically as you have judged the
activities of other regimes and they will criticize you in the same
way as you have rejected or approved other rulers.
36
4-Judge the Prior Rulers Fairly
1
37. Leadership Prerequisites
You must know that a good and virtuous man is known and
recognized by the good that is said about him and the praise
which Allah has destined him to receive from others. Therefore,
make your mind the source and fountain-head of good
thoughts, good intentions and good deeds. This can only be
attained by keeping a strict control on your desires and
yearnings, however much they may try to incite and coerce
you. Remember that the best way to do justice to your inner self
and to keep it out of harm is to restrain it from vice and from
things which the 'self' inordinately and irrationally desires.
37
5-Keep Away from Evils
1
38. Leadership Prerequisites
Maalik! You must create in your mind kindness, compassion and
love for your subordinates. Do not behave towards them as if
you are a insatiable and greedy beast and as if your success lies
in demolishing them
38
6-Avoid Brutality
1
