Foundations and skills of Planning #1

In the Name of ALLAH

Preview:

Managing and planning in life is a sort of attentive strive in optimal use of life moment to moment. This starts with recognizing the real needs and differentiating them from unreal ones. It moves toward choosing and attaining to the right goals in order to have a prosperous life. This managing and planning is to satisfy all needs by multilateral and appropriate programs. Struggling on the way of considered goals, having vast evaluation of one's performance as well as avoiding any success obstacles and damages on planning lead a person to his actual life and eternal prosperity.

Based on mentioned point, it is essential to have a moment_to_ moment plan for helping human move towards his optimal destiny. In order to design and perform such a planning, at least three principles should be considered as:

1st Principle

***Existing Level:

If each person knows that he is standing on a perfection step, it is necessary to notice he lacks the higher step; so as to reach it, he must act, purify his will and purpose more, make his horizontal perspective broader. Being eager to go to the higher step along with concerning of getting stuck in the same stage causes a double attempt and struggle. Surely, the secret of elevation to the higher level is to pass the lower one. That's why, we should learn that the process of reaching the higher step of perfection is a gradual and constant matter. 

2nd Principle

***There is an intention and its components

We should believe that we were not created in vain. All moments and events in life have a purpose one by one. Besides, what is more important is the type of chosen goal, a will and a purpose to be in accordance with God's will in creating the whole universe. Whatever human does, it has a positive or negative result. There is no neutral result. Positive actions are in harmony with natural structure. Therefore, they raise consequences in accordance with it. Whereas, undoubtedly, negative actions are on the contrary to the natural structure and doom to fail and ruin in their own nature. 

3rd Principle

*** Existing Deadline and Opportunity:

Having a specific period of time for human to express each of his capabilities is so vital that ignoring it may lead to an everlasting loss. By considering this principle, performing an action and gaining knowledge depend on the period of one's life. Not realizing the given opportunities definitely ends in losing them; that is a loss.

Planning  Skills

Planning  Skills include management of time, skill ,people ,and resources. Among different reasons of planning, limitation of life time and the necessatity for referring to real knowledge  are the most important ones that make such process important for us.

Evevry planning should have three parts of structure, basis, and skills.

Knowing the structure of human being (including senses, imagination, thinking, inspiration, knowledge, faith, action, and finally attention) is the prerequisite of planning structure.

Planning structure has three parts of goal, need, and schedule. Goal is the most important one that shape and determine the two other parts.We should bear in mind to distinguish real goals from unreal ones. Real goals refer to God attributes. It means whatever we do or plan to do should lead us to one of God’s attributes for example I plan in order to have security (to get closer to “Amn” ) or I want to be healthy (to get closer to “Salam”). In contrast to real goals are unreal goals that are whatever that does not lead to God’s attributes. These goals are futal and make us no where. May be we reach them and be satisfied for some times but after a while our feeling changes and feel empty.

The basis of our programming is shaped by our priorieties. Listing the tasks and then according to their necessities giving priority to them is the next step. At this stage programms can be divided into short term (acute) or long term (chronic). Short term programms have the prioriority, they should be finished in short time whereas long term programms can last a year or a life time.

One important thing to keep in mind is the speed. Haste should be avoided since it is destructive, however speed is essential.Fast speed means taking actions in shorter period of time. This accelerate the process of reaching the goals.

The last but not the least part is evaluation. Most plannings are left incomplete because of deficiency in this part. Evaluation can be done daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. Then there should be a record of what has (not) been done successfully. Make a report card for yourself.

A Brief Discussion of Planning

“In the name of God”

A Brief Discussion of Planning Class                                                                                   N. Albeheshti

 

Planning in a glance can cover lots of matters. Programs, activities, managements, needs, priorities, deadlines, paths, efficiency, human resources, critical paths, evaluating, simultaneous activities, prerequisites, results, possibilities, obstacles, skills and science.

One of the main reasons and necessity of planning is time limitation for human beings. Life is not so long and death is sure accident for everyone. There are different jobs to be done. Therefore, this issue is so serious. We need true knowledge to know what truth is and what should be done in priority.  

So we should refer to constant and real things; Allah, Din and Quran. The true science from our creator is described in “Quran” as the “Hanif Din”.            

Din describes a complete plan for human beings to move toward a perfect person.  Quran is the only true reference for our life plan.

Planning for human beings contains three sub item:

- Structure (frame)

- Base (criteria)

- Skills

The structure of planning should coincide to the human being structure.  Human being structure’s components are: Sense and thought (feeling and phantom), intellection (reasoning) and inspiration, meditation, science, belief, deed, action and attention that shows horizon.

The structure of planning contains three main items: needs, program and goal. For description of these items we refer to Quran:

    Needs:   According to Zoha Surah, three main needs and satisfactions are guardianship “یَتِیمًا فَاوَى”, guidance “ضَالاًّ فَهَدَى” and financial ability “عَائلًا فَأَغْنىَ”. These three factors refer to Lordship “ربوبیت”, “ownership” مالکیت and Divinity “الوهیت”.

     Program:   Human beings should have a plan to manage to have a better relation with God, with themselves and with others. Planning could be daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and more. Some activities are constant and some are variable.

      Goal: True goals should be towards God.

In conclusion, evaluating our plan and actions is important for rectification.

How to gain some nice and new characteristics

In the name of Allah

How to gain some nice and new characteristics

Do you ever plan to gain some nice and new qualities? Do you know any ways for it? Everyone says you have two origins for your characteristics, nature and nurture. The ones you are born with, and the ones you learn from environment. If you believe that some of the characteristics and abilities can be earned and learned, in fact, you can benefit from it. In Islam, it is advised to accompany people with the great recommended characteristics and abilities you admire and long to have them as your own characteristics and abilities, observe their actions and performances very carefully, and try to follow them in these aspects. Obviously, the company you pick affects you dearly, but if it is chosen attentively and purposefully to change something inside you or add other nice and new qualities to you, you are cleverly taking a wise shortcut. This shortcut is going to get much shorter and more effective if you chose a noble outstanding group to be in. The impact of being and working in this strong group can seem like a miracle to you, but in fact it is the incredible effect of a team work among some pious, hardworking and purposeful people with desirable characteristics. So, do not hesitate to find the group, and be a member of it to put your plan into practice.
