Positive Self-Work Strategies in Light of the Holy Quran, Surat Al-Kahf as a Model

Abstract

Many Islamic societies are looking for factors of renaissance and progress, and are trying hard to plan and make an effort to reach them, and individuals and groups are rushing to achieve this, and this requires foundations and controls to reach the desired goal. The images of positivity in the Holy Quran have varied, and the features of building the individual in several places, and among the noble surahs that emphasized these images is Surat Al-Kahf, which clarified the strategies, foundations and rules of positive self-work. This topic helps in discovering the areas of positivity in the situations of the stories mentioned in Surat Al-Kahf and deducing the Quranic strategy in building a positive personality through the Holy Surah. And to identify the features of the positive personality as they appear in it. And to spread the culture of interaction and positivity among the members of the Muslim generation by looking at positive situations. The problem of the research lies in the lack of knowledge of the strategies, foundations and controls that help achieve positive work at the individual level as mentioned in the Holy Quran. A set of approaches were used in this research to achieve the desired goals, namely: the inductive, descriptive and analytical approaches. Among the most important results: The Holy Surah has set an integrated strategy for building the individual, represented in a clear set of foundations and steps to control individual and psychological work within society. The Surah also presented realistic practical models represented in the story of the People of the Cave, the owner of the two gardens, Moses-peace be upon himwith Al-Khidr, and the story of Dhul-Qarnayn. It emphasized that the desired success can only be achieved by combining individual and collective efforts within society. And that building a distinguished personal personality, adhering to virtuous morals and positive values, correct ideas, and making sound decisions must lead to sound results.
