Whom should I take as an example in learning to lead my family?

The best example of leading a family is the Prophet ﷺ, who combined firmness in values with gentleness in treatment. Allah says: “Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example” (Surah al-Ahzab 33:21). Learn how he treated his wives affectionately, helped with housework, consulted others, and never hurt or abused anyone. Take one of his qualities and practise it this week, for example listening without interrupting or helping with one household task. You can also learn from heads of family around you who are respected for their character. Leadership is shaped by imitating a true example, not harsh and arrogant figures. See husbands' course.
