This book highlights the nature of the first function of a manager i.e. planning. Allah (SWT) appointed His Prophet (PBUH) to convey the message of Allah (SWT) to the entire mankind. This needed serious planning which the Prophet did effectively. This book depicts examples from the Holy Prophet’s life about planning in Madina. The prophet (PBUH) himself participated in 27 battles and won all of them. He properly planned with regard to all factors like human resources, weapons and working capital. There is discussion on Hijrah journey of Holy Prophet (PBUH). The Hijrah project was a short-term. (Organizational Structure/ Organizing)The Prophet (PBUH) made his representative in Makkah (Ali ibn-e-Talib), an Information Officer (Abdullah bin Abu Bakr), a Guide (Ibnul Ayqadh), and a representative in Makkah (Asma bint Abu Bakr). The holy prophet (PBUH) also set up several departments (departmentalization/ Organizing) such as education, finance and defense in Madina for effective functioning. The holy prophet (PBUH) motivated (leadership) his companions in all circumstances, sometime by saying them: be patient, you will get reward in form of paradise. This book also discusses about social responsibility - doing something good for society and boosting national prosperity. The general scarcity of water in Madinah was observed; the Prophet (PBUH) requested Hazrat Usman (RA) to buy the well from the Jew and devote it for public usage.
