One of the motives for the researcher's choice of this topic was also the fact that Fathallah bin Muhammad Jawad al-Isfahani, known as Sheikh al-Sharia al-Isfahani, assumed the spiritual leadership of the twentieth revolution, and his confrontation with the colonial states that struggled to occupy the Islamic world, proving that the successful leader is known through the results he creates in the group he leads, and this It is generated through self-confidence, wisdom, and the ability to take care of the interests of others and manage their affairs, and this is what we have seen in the personality of Sheikh Al-Sharia Al-Isfahani.
