An operational term coined by the author.
To clarify what is meant, I will provide you with the definitions of two other terms:
Accumulation and Superposition
How do we superposition our achievements?
I will provide two definitions of accumulation and superposition that I believe are essential to understanding the precise definition of strategy:
First: Accumulation:
It is the process of successive additions without spatial or temporal scheduling.
It is not based on a preconceived notion.
For example: scattering a collection of letters does not produce a poem or an article. Similarly, when you listen to a mentally ill person uttering disorganized letters and words, it
hampers the process of interpretation.
Example: Hearing a speaker speak a foreign language without understanding anything.
Second: Superposition:
It is a process of coordinated, integrated, and spatially and temporally scheduled additions.
| Long live Syria and down with Assad. |
| accumulation | Superposition |
| accumulation | Hosting arranged The old is ready for the new and the new is in harmony with the old. God Almighty said: And those who have believed and done righteous deeds and believed in what was revealed to Muhammad – and it is the truth from their Lord – He will remove from them their misdeeds and amend their condition. (Muhammad 2) |
| Random addition | thoughtful construction |
| Unprepared legacy from predecessor to successor | A ready-made legacy for the next generation to receive and build upon. |
| Chance Association | contractual bond |
| Roads with intersections that produce waste | A perfect way in its clarity, Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi al-Hatimi al-Andalusi said: (The devil is satisfied with the human being diverting him from one good deed to another equally good deed), meaning that the devil is satisfied in working to divert the human being from his direction by convincing him of the necessity of turning away from his good deed which he has not yet completed, to another equally good deed, because in doing so he always makes him in the first stages of his deeds, without achieving the full completion of a single one of them. (The Book of Self-Criticism by Allal al-Fassi, p. 41) |
| Non-chronic | Timing is essential |
| to gather | Growing |
| Follow | succession |
| quarrel | Integration |
Reflection:
Reflect on the words of God Almighty: {That God may distinguish the wicked from the good and place the wicked some upon others and pile them all up and cast them into Hell. Those are the losers.} (Al-Anfal 37)
And His words: {In whatever form He wills, He has assembled you.} (Al-Infitar 8)
Have you deduced a linguistic meaning for accumulation and superposition?
Regarding accumulation:
The noble verse explains the fate of wickedness and in what manner.
Let us draw inspiration from it for how to deal with wickedness. We should not pay attention to its position and location, but rather to its arrangement and organization. Its fate is exile and expulsion, followed by dismantling and sterilization, after having accumulated in an unorganized and unscheduled manner, suggesting humiliation and degradation.
There is no value in positioning or chronological order.
Its destiny is to disassemble into simpler materials, ending the phenomenon of random accumulation, and evaporating bonds and relationships.
As for superposition:
It will be according to a pre-determined image map, arranged in a sequence of overlapping genes in the DNA map. This sequence contains complete information about the comprehensive plan for growth, secretion, interaction, and reproduction from life to death, and is capable of being disassembled and reassembled in a way that enables it to continue through new generations.
In forms that God Almighty has ordained for the future.
(Knitted) strategy
Derived from the Greek word (strategios), meaning military leader.
Sun Tzu’s The Art of War is considered the oldest reference in strategy.
It has been called the bible of military studies.
In our language:
To weave a plot: to master its plan (comprehensive planning)
To weave a garment: to perfectly weave it (overlay)
To weave a story: to skillfully formulate it (coherence and integration)
To weave a knot: to strengthen and secure it (empowerment)
To weave a matter: to manage it well (management)
God Almighty says: (And the heaven of interconnectedness) – Adh-Dhariyat 7
God has created the heavens in a perfect and imaginative way, as they move, grow, and progress toward a goal He has ordained for them.
It is easy to paint a static image in a wonderful creative painting without taking movement and growth into account.
Therefore, rigid planning is doomed to failure. Therefore, a plan requires an important element: the ability to self-renew and the potential for growth and contraction.
I introduce the term “weaving” according to the following definition:
Weaving:
It is a comprehensive map that illustrates how the overlay flows in the form of a vision.
In other words:
Weaving: It is a map that illustrates:
1) The starting point and the vision.
How the overlay flows.
It is prepared to deal with threats and opportunities and takes into account the constant movement of change.
A thinker cannot be a strategic (weaving) thinker unless he or she is able to formulate a comprehensive vision from multiple, sometimes contradictory, parts and establish a clear path for the processes to flow through to the vision.
