Project management : an Islamic perspective

This post can also be called: project management from an Islamic perspective

Similarities between the Islamic system and a software development processThe role of as-salat in the regular validation of the 5 pillars of Islam:

First the software development process has three main concepts to help organize the development of an IT project in general:

1) discipline

2) iteration

3) Phase

    Firstly, the project process follows a set of disciplines in order for example (imagine the Y-axis):
        modeling needs
        analysis and design
        development and implémentaiton
        test and deployment

     Then, these disciplines are verified by discrete phases, for example (imagine the X axis):
        initialization or startup
        design or development
        construction or development
        delivery (of product or project)

    Finally, these same phases they can be repeated (always on the X axis) as many times as necessary to validate the successful completion of the disciplines.

Then, how to report it all with Islam or what I wanted modestly called the Islamic system, let the scheme before:

    First, the life of a Muslim follows a set of disciplines in order for example:
        the testimony of faith (shahada-has: at least once)
        daily prayer (salat-a: 5 prayers)
        the young (as-Siam about 30 days per year)
        alms (zakat-a: 2.5% in net income for the year approximately)
        The Pilgrimage (al-Haj: Muslim if given the chance)

	chahada	salat	zakat	siam	Hajj
chahada
Salat
zakat
Siam
Hajj

     Then, these disciplines are verified through distinct phases (which in this case are the prayers of the day 5) for example:
        al Sobh
        al zuhr
        al asr
        al maghreb
        al isha

	chahada	salat	zakat	siam	Hajj
A sobh
A dohr
Al Asr
Al Maghreb
Al icha

    Finally, these same phases they can be repeated as many times as necessary to validate the successful completion of the disciplines. In this case one iteration may be:
        for the testimony of faith:
            number of iterations for each prayer five times a day minimum
            duration of each iteration: duration of a complete prayer.
            next iteration at the next prayer.
        for as-salat:
            number of iterations for each prayer five times a day minimum.
            duration of each iteration: 5 time prayers => a full day.
            next iteration: next prayer.
        for as-siam:
            number of iterations: 30 times the minimum Ramadan
            duration of each iteration: 1 day.
            next iteration: arrival of the next year.
        1 year for a-Zakat:
            number of iterations: once a year at least.
            duration of each iteration: time to pay zakat-a.
            next iteration: arrival of the next year.
        A life for al haj:
            number of iterations: 1 time in minium if health and finances permit).
            duration of each iteration: as many times as possible.

	chahada	salat	zakat	siam	Hajj
Day				possible
Week				possible
Month				If ramadan	If Hajj
Year			If necessary	If ramadan	Less than 1 time a year
Life			Each year	Each year	If possible

Ultimately, as-salat allows among other things, monitoring and validation of key disciplines are the five pillars of Islam. And that a Muslim who initiated the project as a Muslim guard the north to carry out its mission.

That said, all this is that interpretations of modest analyst that I am, thank you not to take it literally.
