Introduction

(

)

. When life survival became increasingly sophisticated and diversified, man was forced to develop simple procedures to be more and more knowledgeable and comprehensive. Hence the strong biological ties with the leadership were found automatically and they in turn developed from muscle and tribal power to be a complementary to management arts.COBDU 5

( ) . When the heavenly religions were consequently revealed, it formed a rich supplement to management and leadership arts, either handled in a positive way (Human relations, Justice, Systems, Planning), or in a negative way (when some politicians used it as a heavenly camouflage to authoritarian purposes). The ratios of the positive and negative impacts varied according to communities, tastes.COBDU 6

. As a reaction to the negative impacts, some communities had rejected and isolated the faith from management and leadership scopes. Then faith in God was regarded by the radicals as the opium of nations, a claim which has been proved to be a mistake by the current experiences.

Belief

Narrated Abi Al Abbas Abdullah Bin Abbas:

Once I was sitting behind the Prophet, he told me: O small boy, Ill teach you some words (means: some precious wisdom): Keep Allah obligations (means: Obey Allah), Allah will take care of you (means: Allah will protect you), keep Allah obligations, Allah will be just before of you (means Allah will back you) . If you need something ask Allah only (means: do your best, then rely only on Allah for your needs), if need help ask Allah only for help (means: do your best, then rely only on Allah to help you). Know that if all the people oriented to back you for some of your causes, they will not back you except what Almighty Allah recorded in your fate page, and if all the people oriented to cause harm to you, they will not cause harm to you except what Almighty Allah recorded in your fate page. Fate records ink dried since, and no more records to be written (means: you must belief in the fate of Allah).Translation from Al-Term-zee BookCOBDU 32

Genesis, (6, 7) So God said to Noah, "I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. So make yourself an ark of cypress [1] wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. [2] Make a roof for it and finish [3] the ark to within 18 inches [4] of the top. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. (7 6) . : . . ( ) : .( ) ( ) . ( )

FootprintsOne night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the lord. Scenes from his life flashed across the sky and he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to him and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life had flashed before him, he recalled that at the lowest and saddest times times of his life there was only one set of footprints. Dismayed, he asked, Lord, youd walk with me all the way, I dont understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me. The lord replied, My precious child. I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering when you saw only one set of footprints That was when I carried you.
