US court rules in favour of Muslim denied job for her hijab

Islam is a universal and comprehensive religion which holistically guides mankind aright. I mostly wonder for a man who runs after leadership without knowing the decision of the Divine Creator about it, not even considering its burden.

Almighty Allah, in Suratul Al-Imran, reveals his hegemony, sovereignty in giving power to whomever HE wishes and relegates it from whomever HE wishes…”  (Q3 V26 -27). Allah describes the burden of power, in Suratul Al-Ahzab ,  which most of the creatures rejected but only man can take it up. Almighty Allah (SW) said, “truly, we did offer (trust) to the heavens and the earth, and the mountains but they declined to bear it and were afraid of it. But man bore it. Verily, he was unjust (to himself) and ignorant (of its result) (Q33 V72).
With this inclination of man to run after leadership without knowing how challenging and intricate the post is, most mankind do not wait to be chosen but ready to impose or be imposed on community. It was reported in an authentic hadith that Allah will surely lay off HIS hand from the affairs of a leader who imposes himself on people. How many of our leaders can boldly say that he is free of this phenomenon? As Islam is concerned, to be a leader is not an easy task for mankind because there some qualities that need to be sought for.
