Qawwamiat or ‘Bossism’

The Qawwam of any home has the position of a manager or an administrator, standing above members of equal position. A home could become a prey to anarchy if this principle were not accepted. Being a Boss means having responsibility for, not superiority over another. Similarl y, Qawwamiat is also a responsibility. It fulfils the administrative need, rather than exercising superiority over one another. If the difference between this practical need and ideological authority is fully understood, then the concept of Qawwamiat will be easy to understand.
