Setting a timetable- we all know about it.
Exactly why we (are encouraged to) set timetable- not all of us know.
Each of us, generally, have goals in life. To achieve those goals, we need to work towards them. After Allah's permission, timetables ensure that we stick to those goals.
But, how do we set goals? Let me show you what I compiled...
We can categorise our goals into two:
- For the hereafter (akhirah)
- For this world (dun-ya)
*do note that we can work towards the hereafter through worldly means eg being a doctor (worldly) to save lives by the permission of Allah and intending it to increase his good rewards in the hereafter*
We can further break these goals into two:
- Long-term Goals
- Short-term Goals (eg 90-day goals- in line with the long-term goals)
You may be asking yourselves this question (not that I know the unseen)- how do I broaden my goals?
Our GP (General Paper- a G.C.E. 'A'- Level subject) teachers may have taught us to write arguments through a number of structures/formats, among them is the S.P.E.R.M. format.
What does S.P.E.R.M. mean then?
S: Social etc
P: Politics, Productivity etc
E: Education/Environment/Entrepeneurship etc
R: Religion/Race etc
M: Medical, Money etc
So, we can apply this to our goals. For example (remember, you don't neccesarily have to follow the same)
S: Building an education institute for the less-educated
E: Attain a degree in Math/ Set up an unprecedented green business
R: Memorise the Quran, setting up financial centres across the world to aid poor Muslims
M: Being a leading event-organiser, inviting Medical professionals from across the globe to share their knowledge with the rest.
For P... it is challenging for me to have one example of its goal.
Anyway, there are loads of other ways to have goals.
I hope that this was beneficial. All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
We, man and Jinn, were created not except to worship Allah (alone, with no partners)
