An Islamic Perspective on Management

By Sayyid Jafar Murtada Al-Amili

Imām ʿAlī (as) said:

"I command you and all my children and members of my family and whoever my letter reaches to fear God (have taqwā), keep your affairs in order, and maintain good relations among yourselves."

أُوصِيكُمَا وَجَمِيعَ وَلَدِي وَأَهْلِي وَمَنْ بَلَغَه كِتَابِي، بِتَقْوَى الله، وَنَظْمِ أَمْرِكُمْ، وَصَلاَحِ ذَاتِ بَيْنِكُمْ...

Sayyid Jaʿfar Murtaḍā al-ʿĀmilī aims to convey Imām Jaʿfar al-Ṣādiq's (as) advice on effective management and leadership. Imām Jaʿfar (as) emphasized the importance of prioritizing critical matters while not neglecting minor ones, comparing this balance to a river managing its flow to avoid overflow. He highlighted the need for effective delegation, daily planning and review, rewarding good work, and consulting advisors for well-considered decisions, as well as the importance of disciplining negligence.
