Abstract

The concept of "Tadbir" (strategic planning and management) is considered one of the key components in the social lives of prophets and divine saints. God, recognizing the unparalleled position of “Tadbir” in the life span of human beings in achieving happiness or destruction, has outlined, in the verses of the Qur’an, various strategic requirements for achieving their goals and success and improving them in long-term planning. Analyzing and explaining the components of managerial affairs in the social lives of prophets to achieve divine and human goals is of paramount significance, which is not observed in the studies of researchers. The findings of the present study, using descriptive, content analysis, and intra-textual methods in the verses of the Quran, reflect the important fact that in social management, there are significant and strategic components that can display Islamic management and help the Islamic society achieve its goals by committing to each of them both theoretically and practically. As a result, it can be argued that for achieving desirable goals, understanding these key elements and acting upon them is among the essentials of Islamic strategic planning and management.
