Ya Umar…

It is hard when you have the responsibility.

it is harder if you are the leader of men.

Umar al-Khattab in one occasion had been angry with his sahabas, by saying;

“All of you have pledge me as the caliph, and when i assign you with responsibility then you turn it down?”

It is easy to appoint somebody for some responsiblities just because we dont want to take it.

And we promise to help him out.

And when he dares to take it, and ask us to help him and cooperate, we run away.

We choose people to be our leader just simply we lack of criteria, and then when he orders then we disobey?

We heartfully leave the responsibility to him and let him take the plunge, while we see from far?

What are follower are we?
