From the perspective of Islam, a 'worldview' is not merely the mind's view
of the physical world and of man's historical, social, political, and
cultural involvement in it.
The worldview of Islam is not based upon philosophical speculation
formulated mainly from observation of the data sensible experience, of
what is visible to the eye; nor it is restricted to the world of sensible
experience, the world of created things.
Islam does not concede to the dichotomy of the sacred and the profane;
the worldview of Islam encompasses both al-dunya and al-akhirah, in
which the dunya-aspect must be related in profound and inseparable way
to the akhirah-aspect, in which the akhirah-aspect has the ultimate and
final significance.
The dunya-aspect is seen as preparation for the akhirah-aspect without
thereby implying any attitude of neglect or being unmindful of the
dunya-aspect. What is meant by 'worldview' according to the perspective
of Islam, is then the vision of reality and truth that appears before the
mind's eye revealing what existence is all about; for it is the world of
experience in its totality that Islam is projecting.
(Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas, Prolegomena to the Metaphysics of Islam
[Kuala Lumpur: ISTAC, 1995])
1. Christianity - 2.1 billion
 Stemming from Judaism, Christianity is the
largest religion in the world with 31.5% of the
world’s population in practice. Christianity is
characterized by its follower’s practice of
monotheism and follow practices preached by
Jesus of Nazareth, a Jew who claimed to be both
fully man and fully God. Born in Bethlehem
around 7 A.D., Jesus didn’t become public in his
teaching until his 30th year and spent 3 years
performing miracles and teachings until roughly
30 A.D. when he was brutally crucified for being
a threat to the Roman Empire.
2. Islam – 1.5 billion
 Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in the
world and follows the practices of Muhammad, a
member of the Quraysh tribe born 570 A.D. At 25 he
led a meditative life in the desert and received a
vision from the angel Gabriel telling him to be a
prophet. His wife Khadija encouraged him in this
pursuit and he devoted his life to societal and
religious reform. He was shunned from Mecca and
fled after only gaining a few followers. Fleeing to
Medina, Muhammad’s teachings were well received
and marks the beginning of the Muslim era. In 630
A.D., he marched on Mecca and conquered it
before passing away two years later.
3. Hinduism - 900 million
 Hinduism is considered the oldest religion in the
world with a legacy leading to prehistoric times. It
is also the most diverse religion with followers from
all races and walks of life, perhaps because there is
no single doctrine, no founder or script binding
believers together. Hinduism incorporates a number
of influences in its beliefs and allows for complete
freedom in doctrine. Instead, Hinduism’s history is
written by a number of key figures, teachers and
philosophers teaching practices and writings known
as the Veda. As far as belief goes, Muslims draw
upon a couple common values known as dharma.
The term ‘Hindu’ was derived from the Sindhu River
and doesn’t go back further than the 15th century.
Followers began to call themselves Hindu in order
to differentiate themselves from other religious
followers, namely Muslims.

4. Buddhism -376 million
 Buddhism follows the teachings of Saddhartha, the son of a warrior
prince born into an extremely wealthy background. The suffering of
humanity led Saddhartha to leave his pampered life at 29 and travel
in search of enlightenment and solutions to human suffering. While
meditating beneath the bodi tree (tree of perfect knowledge) he
received the enlightenment he sought and devoted the rest of his
life teaching his followers of his new understandings. Buddhists focus
on personal spiritual development and don’t worship gods or deities.
5. Sikhism - 23 million
 Sikhism emerged from India circa the 15th century under the
guidance of guru Nanak. The religion combines beliefs from Hinduism
and Islam characterizing the belief that God comprises one reality
alone while drawing upon meditative emphasis. At 29, Nanak
declared, “there is no Hindu; there is no Muslim.” He rejected
polytheism for monotheism and believes life is a circle of birth,
death and rebirth only released by moksha into eventual unity with
God. Sinkhism focuses on the importance of doing good rather than
on religious rituals.
6. Juche -19 million
 Juche is the religion of North Korea and also known
mockingly as “Kimilsungism.” It’s a religion founded on
state dominance, veneration of leadership, political and
economic independence, and communal production. The
ideologies were first inducted by Karl Marx under the
religion now known as Marxism.
7. Judaism - 14 million
 Judaism is the oldest of all monotheistic religions and
blazed the trail for many other world religions including
Christianity and Islam. Judaism follows the teachings of
God, Yahweh, and focuses on Jews as the chosen people
of God descending from the line of Abraham. Jews are
called to be an example for others in holiness and
ethical behavior. Moses founded the religion after
leading his people from Egyptian slavery and receiving
the Ten Commandments from God on Mount Sinai. The
Jewish religious text is known as the Torah and recounts
the stories and teachings of it’s founders.
8. Bahaism - 7 million
 In sense of most world religions, Bahaism is strikingly
new, only coming into existence in 1863 out of Persia. It
focuses on the unification of all mankind drawing upon
teachings from Islam and Christianity. Mirza Hoseyn ‘Ali
Nuri, known as Baha ‘Ullah, founded Bahaism on the
belief that his forerunner Bab and himself are
manifestations of God. Bahais believe all founders of
major religions were manifested upon the earth as agents
of God implemented to teach the world spiritual lessons.
Baha Ullah’s personal mission is to then unite and
mankind despite religion, race or class, and focused most
of his teachings on social ethics.
9. Jainism – 4.2 million
 Jainism rose alongside Buddhism in India and provides an
alternate religion to Hinduism’s strict religious rituals. It teaches
the escape from the process of rebirth and karma by reaching
nirvana via leading a life of abstinence from the world’s earthly
pleasures. Janism focuses on the wellbeing of the universe by
living lives of harmlessness and renunciation from life’s evils. All
living things, humans, animals and plants alike, contain souls
with no soul being greater than any other. It’s followers believe
there is no god but rather generate their morals based on selfhelp.
10. Shintoism - 4 million
 Shintoism is a religion indigenous to Japan circa 1000 B.C. and
focuses worship on the kami, a host of supernatural beings
dwelling in natural elements. There is no formal dogma, writ or
founder, which has allowed for influence from other religions,
such as Confucianism and Buddhism. Due to Shintoism’s
compatibility with Buddhism, many of it’s followers practice
both. Shintoism is devoted to life in the world and celebrates
man’s essential goodness. The religion is focused on ritual rather
than belief and is considered more of an essential Japanese way
of life rather than a religion for its followers, contributing to its
lack of practice outside Japan.

What is Management? Definitions

According to Harold Koontz,
"Management is the art of getting things done through and
with people in formally organised groups.“
Harold Koontz gave this definition of management in his
book "The Management Theory Jungle".

According to Henri Fayol,
"To manage is to forecast and to plan, to organise, to
command, to co-ordinate and to control.“
Henri Fayol gave this definition of management in his book
"Industrial and General Administration".

According to Peter Drucker,
"Management is a multi-purpose organ that manages
business and manages managers and manages workers and
work."This definition of management was given by Peter
Drucker in his book "The Principles of Management

According to Mary Parker Follet,
"Management is the art of getting things done through
people.“
Means that the managers do not do the work themselves.
They get the work done through the workers. The workers
should not be treated like slaves. They should not be
tricked, threatened or forced to do the work. A favorable
work environment should be created and maintained.
 Definitions
" Integrated activities of thinking, planning,
organizing, leading and controlling,
interconnected with decisions, involving
the use of resources - human, financial,
time, information, and physical, with the
objectives of attaining the goals of
Maqasid al-Shariah, by means of effective
and efficient methods“
SHAYA’A OTHMAN
“We raise some of them above others in
ranks, so that some may command
workds from others.”
Az-Zukhruf 43: 32
 Every
organization, regardless of size, has
developed and implemented its own
management concepts in order for it to run
smoothly and accomplish the vision, goals
and objectives it has set forth.
 As such, the basic functions of management,
broken down into four different areas, allow
for it to handle the strategic, tactical and
operational decisions for the organization.
 The four functions of management are:
planning, organizing, directing / leading
and controlling.

Planning is the core area of all the functions of management. It is the
foundation upon which the other three areas should be build.
Planning requires management to evaluate where the company is
currently, and where it would like to be in the future. From there an
appropriate course of action to attain the company's goals and
objectives is determined and implemented.

The planning process is ongoing. There are uncontrollable, external
factors that constantly affect a company both positively and
negatively. Depending on the circumstances, these external factors
may cause a company to adjust its course of action in accomplishing
certain goals. This is referred to as strategic planning.

During strategic planning, management analyzes internal and
external factors that do and may affect the company, as well as the
objectives and goals. From there they determine the company's
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. In order for
management to do this effectively, it has to be realistic and
comprehensive.

Getting organized is the second function of management.
Management must organize all its resources in order to
implement the course of action it determined in the
planning process. Through the process of getting
organized, management will determine the internal
organizational
structure;
establish
and
maintain
relationships, as well as allocate necessary resources.

In determining the internal structure, management must
look at the different divisions or departments, the
coordination of staff, and what is the best way to handle
the necessary tasks and disbursement of information
within the company.

Management will then divide up the work that needs to be
done, determine appropriate departments, and delegate
authority and responsibilities.
 Directors
coordinate all phases of the
business so that each supports the other. The
use of physical and financial assets and
personnel activities must be integrated to
accomplish
predetermined
goals
and
objectives.
 Specific
examples include overseeing facility
use, arranging timely financing, preparing
the
manager’s
job
description,
and
purchasing and selling assets to meet
members’ needs.

Through directing, management is able to influence and oversee the
behavior of the staff in achieving the company's goals, as well as assisting
them in accomplishing their own personal or career goals. This influence
can be gained through motivation, communication, department
dynamics, and department leadership.

Employees that are highly motivated generally go above and beyond in
their job performance, thereby playing a vital role in the company
achieving its goals. For this reason, managers tend to put a lot of focus
on motivating their employees. They come up with reward and incentive
programs based on job performance and geared toward the employees'
needs.

Effective communication is vital in maintaining a productive working
environment, building positive interpersonal relationships, and problem
solving. Understanding the communication process and working on areas
that need improvement help managers to become more effective
communicators. The best way to find areas that need improvement is to
periodically ask themselves and others how well they are doing.
 The
planning and organizing functions must be
accomplished for the directing activity to be
effective. Effective directing requires setting
well-defined,
clearly
understood,
and
consistently administered policies.
 Directors
engage in contract negotiations,
approve membership applications, and make
recommendations on day-to-day operations.
Directors focus on approving short- and
medium-term plans of the manager, reviewing
reports, and making decisions about long-term
plans.

The control process, as with the other three, is
ongoing. Through controlling, management is able to
identify any potential problems and take the
necessary preventative measures. Management is also
able to identify any developing problems that need to
be addressed through corrective action.

In order for management to be considered successful,
it must attain the goals and objectives of the
organization. This requires creative problem solving
in each of the four functions of management. More
so, success requires that management be both
effective and efficient. Therefore, it needs to not
only accomplish those goals and objectives, but do it
in a way that the cost of accomplishment is viable for
the company.
 Directors
exercise control of the cooperative by
keeping themselves informed of the progress of
the business, assuring acceptable performance
in all phases of the business. They interpret
trends and results and know when to initiate
corrective action.
 Directors
are responsible for preventing
unauthorized actions and keeping members
informed of the cooperative’s progress.
 Accepting
and approving management reports,
reviewing financial statements, and reviewing
physical facilities are specific examples of
director control.
