barakallah feek for your guidance .

Answer:

`Alaykum as-Salam,
Not ‘ruler’ but ‘custodian’ according to the highly authentic hadith:
“Each of you is a custodian (ra`in) and each is responsible for his or her ward (ra`iyyatih). Thus the political leader is a custodian and is answerable for his ward; man is a custodian over his household and is answerable for his ward; woman is a custodian over her husband’s house and she is answerable for her ward; and the servant is a custodian over his master’s property and is answerable for his ward. So each of you is a custodian and each is answerable over his ward.” Narrated by Malik in the Muwatta’ and by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
