Today more than ever before, the concerned Muslim cannot afford setbacks or failure in his or her task. Today's Muslims are in dire need of state-of-the-art work and performance. The following discussion is an attempt to bring out the Islamic view on quality work and optimal performance.
The Arabic word itqan is a word used to indicate the level of quality work. The best English translation of itqan is "to arrange and dispose of things in a scientific and artistic way in order to obtain the most perfect results." An Arabic synonym for itqan is ihkam (to do something with wisdom). The word "wisdom" (hikmah) and its derivatives are mentioned in the Holy Qur'an in no less than three hundred places. This is the simplest and clearest indication of Islam's concern for doing quality work.
If we attempted to compare this Islamic definition of quality work with the common English language definition used today, we would be surprised to learn that the Islamic definition surpasses its English counterpart in several respects. For example, the English word "precision" is used for sciences or crafts, whereas the word itqan can apply to work in all fields. Taking the English word "complete" as another example, we find that this word too is not equal to itqan. This is because things may be complete but not artistic or beautiful, which is implied in itqan. Furthermore, the words "precision" and "complete" are purely mechanical and do not have the spiritual connotations of itqan. This fact can be seen in the following verse in which Allah describes a scene in the Hereafter and says:
"And you see the mountains and think them firmly fixed, but they shall pass away as the clouds pass away. (Such is) the artistry of Allah, who disposes of all things in perfect order, for He is well acquainted with all that you do."This verse tells us that Allah's work is done with itqan. In Islam, quality work has a spiritual flavor because of its association with Allah, the Almighty. This divine touch adds to and colors the word itqan with beauty, art, and perfection.
Since the act of loving Allah, His qualities and attributes, is an essential part of Islam, one can appreciate the vast distance that separates today's Muslims from Islam as it ought to be observed. Moreover, the Prophet (p) said:
"Allah loves to see one's job done at the level of itqan."Thus the state of performance at the level of itqan is required by Islam and is a sunnah of the Prophet (p).
