Qur’an

وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِنَا ...

What you’ll learn.

It starts with your intention, runs through your counsel, and ends in your decision.

Day 01

Niyyah

Before we ask what you can do, we ask why you want to lead in the first place.

Day 02

Amanah & Shura

The authority you hold belongs to the people under it. Decide after you’ve listened, especially to whoever disagrees with you.

Day 03

’Azm

At some point the discussion ends and you have to choose. Then you carry the choice.

Ready to lead like The Prophet ﷺ

Twenty-four men, twenty-five to forty. Six seats are carried by patrons so that selection stays blind to means. Every application is read, and every applicant is spoken to before a seat is offered.

Questions
Who is this actually for?

Men aged twenty-five to forty who have already built something: a company, a practice, a team. If you are looking for your first job, this is not yet for you.

What happens after the three days?

You leave with a project you have already pitched to the trainers, and with twenty-three men who know exactly what you said you would do. Cohort 01 in Lahore still meets. That is the mechanism, and it is not a mailing list.

Is the fee all-inclusive?

Yes. The fee is PKR 125,000, and it covers the residential stay, all meals and hospitality, and the toolkit and materials. There is no further cost.

Why only twenty-four seats?

Because accountability does not scale. Twenty-four is the largest number where every man in the room can be known by name, and challenged by name.

Is this a religious course?

It is a leadership programme built on the prophetic model. You will study character, consultation and foresight as practical disciplines, taught by scholars and operators together.
