Farman Excerpts

.I am concerned about unevenness in the quality of life of our Jamat worldwide & where thequality of life is not what it should be , I believe we all have a serious responsibility to mobilise theresources , human & material, to take the time, so that we are able to put in place new initiativeswhich will help the Jamat in these countries, and to find a new economic and social standing in theworld community,. ... What we need to do is start the programs, and listen to the beneficiaries, we

can learn from them how they perceive the work that is being done, so that we can adjust thatwork on an ongoing basis in these various communities." 2008

".. Councils as a whole will need to focus collectively on all aspects of the quality of life (din &dunya) in an integrated way rather than ... leaving individual aspects to separate boards.........poorpeople will never be able to draw successfully on these support programs if they have to go fromone institution to another. the organisational implication will be reflected in the constitution and

articulated at the next cycle of institutional appointment. no doubt the constitution of the jamatwill need to be adjusted so that these new initiatives can be entered into the constitution..." 2008

"A vast decentralisation of decision-making is already occurring in many countries; it has theadvantage of placing new responsibilities in the hands of local communities.... For the key to futureprogress will lie less in traditional top-down systems of command and control and more in abroad, bottom-up spirit of coordination and co-operation.... Social progress, in the long run, will notbe found by delegating an all-dominant role to any one player but rather through multi-sectorpartnerships."

tion and central institutions I would like my Mukhis and Kamadias to do everything possible to seethat our country institutions coordinate and work properly with the central institutions..

FarmanExcerpts "Our world is changing, our Jamat is changing, its needs are changing. What can we do so that the service

we provide in the years ahead will be more effective than what we have done in the past? This is aquestion every generation of Jamati leaders, every generation of Jamati institutions must ask itself,because, society does not stand still, it is in a state of continuous change. In order to serve that changeand to direct that change so that it is beneficial to the Jamat rather than damaging to the Jamat, you mustask yourself: How can I improve my service? What is the thing that my institution can do better if it is not

doing?

"..there is a premium on intelligent service, on competent service, not just service for the sake of service,but service for the betterment of the people and for the betterment of the institutions

"What I am saying to you is that you should have confidence in your own judgment, confidence in your

ability to analyze problems, confidence in your ability to develop solutions to those problems. Bringforward your ideas. It is only the stupid person who doesn't listen to ideas. It means he is like a horse wholives with blinkers and all he sees ahead of him is a little tiny dimension of light No, that's not for ourJamat. Listen to ideas, develop ideas, create ideas and bring them forward for the service of the Jamat. "Sobe happy, don't be worried, be creative and confident...."

"Now I have spoken to you about the plans a little bit for the future but I want all of you here tonight, andthis is a point which is particularly important, to know, that there are not openings for four or five hundredspiritual children in our institutions. We just do not have these number of places. But in the long run, youcan do a lot more, if you really set your minds to it, outside the institutions than inside, simply by reactingintelligently to changes But not only intelligently, I should say even from a conservative point of view, butan intelligent conservative point of view In other words, use your past, use your education to moveforward ...
