Initiative from the Mens among Mens

Bismillah
Excerpt from the video that is very important to us (with a bit of editing):

"Umar al-Khattab (r.a.) was a man of initiative. He would take the initiative. There are sometimes things that you cannot do (it's not right to come from you). Abu Bakar cannot go around telling the people to give him bi'ah and he didn't (Umar did it for him).

Sometimes we wait for our leaders to do everything (look at your life now. Did you leave your assignments to your leaders to handle. Did you leave them to edit, compile AND submit the work while you enjoy an early break? Did you leave your parents to decide what university you'd go to without looking for options yourself? And when the decisions did not come from your own choices, are you then happy because then you can point fingers at those who you appointed as leaders? Look at our government. What have we done to keep pointing fingers at them? Are we playing our part right?)

There are somethings that our leaders cannot do (either because they are incapable, do not want to do or it's not appropriate from them to do it).

You need to have the initiative and go and DO IT (a phrase so cliche even Nike uses it but not many actually follow).

There's a lot of passiveness in Muslims nowadays. We need to be proactive and take the initiative. When there is something right to be done and you are the only one who can do it, then go ahead and do it."

Very LONGGG but VERY important. So do not tl;dr. ;D

Alhamdulillah
