SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Social development starts with selection of a spouse and starting a family. It involves learning to develop social networks and taking social responsibilities in the community.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The factors behind professional success are a good basic education, postgraduate training, apprenticeship to a good mentor, setting goals and a time frame to achieve them, adopting a growth strategy, delivering quality results in the work and not seeking cheap publicity. Professional networking involves identification of strategic partners for mutual benefit and not manipulating or exploitation. The networking starts within smaller circles and extends to the wider professional and social circles. Nurturing contacts is very important otherwise they get lost.
ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
Economic empowerment should have the objective of eventual self-employment. A long-term development plan must be made. Putting side some of the monthly earnings for asset accumulation and investment ensures financial stability and expansion of the Muslim economic base.
