مَلْحُوظَاتِي وَتَحَقَّقَ رِضَا الْمُسْتَفِيدِ فِي جَوْدَةِ الْمُنْتَجِ (الرَّدْمِ)، فَهُوَ رَدْمٌ لَا يُمْكِنُ تَسَلُّقُهُ، وَلَا ثَقْبُهُ فَمَا أَسْطَاعُوا أَن يَظْهَرُوهُ وَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوا لَهُ نَقْبًا، كَمَا أَنَّهُمْ حَصَلُوا عَلَى التَّدْرِيبِ وَالتَّأْهِيلِ وَبِنَاءِ الثِّقَةِ، فَقَدْ كَانُوا رُكْنًا رَئِيسًا فِي عَمَلِيَّةِ الْبِنَاءِ، فَهُمْ يَمْلِكُونَ الْمَالَ فَهَلْ نَجْعَلُ لَكَ خَرْجًا وَيَمْلِكُونَ الْمَوَادَّ الْخَامَ مِنَ الْحَدِيدِ وَالنُّحَاسِ، وَيَمْلِكُونَ مَهَارَاتِ اسْتِخْرَاجِهَا، إِلَّا أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ الْإِرَادَةَ وَالْإِدَارَةَ فِي تَوْجِيهِ نَشَاطِهِمُ الْإِنْسَانِيِّ لِمَا فِيهِ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ.

(from previous page) ⟵ Bring me sheets of iron." Then, when he had leveled (the gap) between the two mountain-sides, he said, "Blow!" until he made it (the iron) a fire. He said, "Bring me molten copper to pour over it." So they could not scale it, nor could they pierce it.

لَقَدْ آثَرَ ذُو الْقَرْنَيْنِ تَعْلِيمَهُمْ وَتَدْرِيبَهُمْ، فَلَمْ يَأْمُرْ جَيْشَهُ بِبِنَاءِ الرَّدْمِ؛ وَذَلِكَ لِغَرْسِ الثِّقَةِ وَالْإِيجَابِيَّةِ فِي نُفُوسِهِمْ فَأَعِينُونِي بِقُوَّةٍ، فَكَانَ مَعَهُمْ مُشْرِفًا وَآتُونِي زُبَرَ الْحَدِيدِ، وَانْفُخُوا، وَمُشَارِكًا آتُونِي أُفْرِغْ عَلَيْهِ قِطْرًا، لِمَا لِهَذِهِ الْمُشَارَكَةِ مِنْ أَثَرٍ إِيجَابِيٍّ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَعَلَى جَوْدَةِ الْعَمَلِ، وَتَدْرِيبٍ مُبَاشِرٍ؛ يَضْمَنُ لَهُمُ الْإِتْقَانَ.

Dhu al-Qarnayn chose to teach and train the people rather than ordering his army to build the barrier. He did this to instill confidence and positivity in them, calling out, 'Help me with strength.' He acted as both supervisor and participant, directing them to bring iron blocks and work the bellows, then asking for molten copper to pour over the structure. This collaborative approach had a positive impact on them and the quality of the work, providing direct training that ensured mastery.

كَمَا أَعْلَنَ لَهُمْ قَوَانِينَهُ الْإِدَارِيَّةَ فِي التَّعَامُلِ مُنْذُ الْبِدَايَةِ قَالَ أَمَّا مَنْ ظَلَمَ فَسَوْفَ نُعَذِّبُهُ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّ إِلَى رَبِّهِ فَيُعَذِّبُهُ عَذَابًا نُكْرًا وَأَمَّا مَنْ آمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلَهُ جَزَاءً الْحُسْنَى وَسَنَقُولُ لَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِنَا يُسْرًا.

He also established his administrative rules from the outset, declaring, 'As for those who do wrong, we shall punish them, and they will eventually return to their Lord to face a severe punishment. As for those who believe and do good, they will have the best reward, and we will treat them with kindness and ease.'

وَفِي الْقُرْآنِ الْكَرِيمِ قِصَصٌ عَمَلِيَّةٌ وَاقِعِيَّةٌ عَلَى الْإِبْدَاعِ فِي جَوْدَةِ الْإِدَارَةِ وَالْقِيَادَةِ وَمَا أَجْمَلَ أَنْ نَسْتَفِيدَ مِنْهَا؛ لِتَجْوِيدِ أَعْمَالِنَا، فِي بِنَاءِ وَطَنِنَا بِسَوَاعِدِنَا وَمَقْدِرَاتِنَا.

The Holy Quran contains practical, realistic stories that demonstrate creative excellence in management and leadership. It is profoundly beneficial for us to apply these lessons to improve our work as we build our nation with our own hands and resources.
