Purpose of Human Creation واذ قال ربك للملاءكة اني جاعل فى الأرض خليفة وما خلقت الجن و الانس الا ليعبدون - خلق لكم ما فى الارض جميعا ولقد كرمنا بني ادم – الست بربكم قالوا بلا - Khalifah of Allah (and Khalifah al-rasool as well as Khalifath al-Mumineen)
- Obedience of Allah (personal, social to professional and organizational life)
- Dignified and honourable life (whole creation to benefit of human beings)
- Acceptance of Allah (as the Lord and Sustainer of humanity)
2. Islamic Vision of Development According to Imam Al-Ghazali Maqasid Al-Shariah is human welfare based on: - Deen (Faith) Establish the foundation of the reality of life
- Aql (Mind) Develop and utilise the powerful creative tool
- Maal (Wealth) Earn material prosperity and gain self-reliance
- Nafs (Body) Maintain and improve good health to live well
- Nasl (Future) Create future generations and progress in life
3. Human Development: Internal Relations According to Prof. Dr. Naquib Al-Attas (Malaysia, ISTAC) and Dr. Stephen Covey (USA, 7 Habits) human beings have 4 distinguishable entities within them: - Soul (Rooh) wants a Legacy قل الروح من امر ربي
- Body (Nafs) wants to Live ان النفس لأمارة با السوء
- Mind (Aql) wants to Learn اتأمرون الناس بالبر وتنسون انفسكم- - - افلا تعقلون
- Heart (Qalb) wants to Love يا مقلب القلوب ثبت قلوبنا على دينك
- According to Qur’an, conflict takes place between Soul and Body representing good and evil forces within us (فالهمها فجورها و تقواها)
- 3 outcomes of the conflict: Nafs Ammarah (evil wins), Nafs Lawwama (war continues with temporary wins of one or the other), Nafs Mutmainna (good wins)
- Prize for the winner: Our life control through Mind and Heart (If life is a car, mind is the steering and heart is the engine, and the driver is the winner of the conflict to run our lives)
4. Human Development: External Relations 4-Sector Model of external human development in society where due balance is required: - Family sector for personal services قوا انفسكم و اهليكم نارا – ح- خياركم خياركم الى نساأكم
- Private Sector for private services لا تأكلوا اموالكم بينكم بالباطل الا ان تكون تخارة عن تراض منكم
- Public Sector for public services اعدلوا هو اقرب للتقواى- ح- كلكم راع وكلكم مسؤول عن رعيته
- NGO Sector for community services ح- خير الناس من ينفع الناس
5. Mechanism for Human Development - Build foundations for development (AAA): Aqida to recognize reality (ويكفر بالطاغوت ويؤمن بالله) – Akhlaq to aligned personality (ح- بعثت لأتمم مكارم الأخلاق) – Aql to lead development (لأيات لأولى الألباب)
- Commit to lifelong learning (RRR): Read to know; Reflect to learn; Reform to apply learning
- Follow process of improvement (HHH): Head to understand – Heart to own – Hand to act
- Apply suitable assessment system (QQQ): Qibla for direction – Quality for example – Quantity for impact
