When selecting someone for an important post, the Prophet once said that “in appointing someone to an important post, when there is someone more capable for the job, is a betrayal of Allah’s trust, a betrayal to His Prophet and a betrayal to all believers.” This means that in making such appointments, a meticulous exercise should be undertaken to find the most suitable candidate possible amongst those available, so that we will not be doing an injustice to ourselves, the appointed person, and the society he is supposed to serve.
