Essay Question
Leadership comes in many forms.  Not only does it mean holding a position of authority (e.g., president, captain of a team, or chairman of a group, etc.), it also relates to leadership in following. Leadership is also serving others in your Masjid, community, school and/or neighborhood.  This, combined with the pursuit of education, is the type of leadership Imam Maajid Faheem 'Ali exemplified.  

Write a response to ONE of the following essay questions. The IMFALSS essay should be at least 300 words, but no more than 500 words.  Any submissions outside of these parameters will not be considered.

1. How do you define leadership in service? Describe your journey to becoming a leader, and your contributions as a leader, in serving your local Masjid, community, school, club, team, organization, etc.? What was the impact of your leadership in service?
