The title may not correspond with the reality of today. Because they are now, a man who became leader only oriented to search for property in addition to positions of power. Then why the leader of the rich people also prosperous.

Leadership is the case in the days of the Caliphate of the Prophet Muhammad. Here is a wealth of Islamic leaders in the days of glory:

Umar bin Khattab ra wealth
• Leaving 70 000 properties (farms) for @ 160juta (a total of Rp 11.2 trillion)
• Cash flow per month from the property = 70 000 x 40 jt = 2.8 Trillion / year or 233 billion / month.
• Savings = payable in cash

Wealth Uthman ibn 'Affan RA
• Saving money = 151 thousand dinars plus one thousand dirhams
• Leaving the property throughout the region Aris and Khaibar
• Some wells worth 200 thousand dinars (USD 240 M)

Wealth Awwam bin Zubair ra
• 50 thousand dinars
• 1000 war horses
• 1000 people slaves

Wealth Amr ibn al-Ash ra
• 300 thousand dinars

The wealth of Abdur-Rahman bin Auf ra
• Exceeded all the wealth friend!
• In a single sitting, at the time of the Prophet Muhammad, Abdur-Rahman bin Auf berinfaq by 64 billion (40 thousand dinars)

That is some of his companions saw the famous Rasululloh prudent and wise and faithful in carrying out the command of Allah SWT. The leaders in the era of abundant wealth can achieve the best motivation because they, devoted to Allah SWT. And of course, Rizqi they receive, only lawful course. Characteristics they have in the determination and hard work in production, but very frugal in consumption. This is a true ascetic. Not with poor air-ria and legitimize laziness with ascetic dress.

This has been a pillar in which Allah Almighty will always bring pleasure and will add to it if a servant grateful for His blessings (as mentioned in the letter of Ibrahim v. 7).

Then how could the people prosperous, too?

At the time of Umar ibn Khattab ra (10 years in charge)
• Mu'adh bin Jabal to Yemen said the poor had difficulty finding a decent given Zakat (Al-Amwal, p. 596)
• Able to hire teachers in Medina each 15 dinars or + / - 18 million / month (Ash-Shinnawi, 2006)

At the time of Umar bin Abdul Aziz ra (3 years served)
• Yahya ibn Sa'id (zakat officer) said, "When it comes to distributing alms, I do not see a poor one. Umar bin Abdul Aziz has made every individual of the people at that time was well off ". (Ibn 'Abd al Hakam, siroh Umar bin Abdul Aziz, p. 59)
• Letter of Governor of Basrah, "All people live in prosperity until my own fear that they will be takabbur and arrogant." (Al-Amwal, p. 256)

It all stems from the leader. Leaders who have the character of good morals must be role models for people to live in goodness. In addition they have good power (positive power) in the form of the power of positive thinking (husnudzan), the power of positive feeling, and the power of positive motivation.

The third force which is the cornerstone them to live better without thinking about negative things. Nowadays, since childhood we have been poisoned by the negative things that always made an impression on the mind as the news of murder, robbery, rape, or indulgence in slander and disgrace as many held by television stations today. So that we have in mind is always prejudiced (perhaps to be careful) to someone.

In addition to these factors, charity also plays an important role in alleviating poverty. Zakat is one of the Pillars of Islam are obliged to be carried out. Whose name is harmonious if not upheld then he will be destroyed. Just as creed, prayers fard, and shaum Romadhon, if the charity if it does not mean we might not be implemented, including Muslims. The value of charity is what really helps the economy at that time so that people no longer poor. Even as a positive power, people also feel ashamed to be a recipient of charity. So they are motivated to become rich.

Then when this will happen in our beloved country?

Do not ever think very hard. Remember, always be positive power. They can if it starts from ourselves.

Salam.
