Selection of Imam


It is related on the authority of Abu Mas'ud Ansari (R.A.) that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "He should lead the congregation who reads the Book of
Allah (i.e. the Qur'an) much among them, and if all of them be equal then he who possesses a greater knowledge of the Sunnah and the Shari'ah, and if all be
equal in this respect, also, then he who may have been the first to Migrate (among them), and if all be equal in it as well (i.e. the time of their migration
is the same) then he who is senior in age. And no one should act as anyone's Imam in his area (or territory) of leadership and authority or sit, without his
permission, in his special place of sitting in his house." (Muslim)
