Yaser El-Waly’s Approach to Thoughtful Decisions and Purposeful Living


Thinking Before Taking the Next Step

Decisions form a core part of our lives, ranging from routine decisions regarding our family or work life to critical decisions that may decide the course of our whole life. It is difficult for Yaser El-Waly, living in Perth, Australia, to make a decision without deliberating upon it. He says that important decisions require contemplation, deliberation, and knowledge of what really matters.

Yaser, now in his fifties, has evolved a system for himself based on his faith in Islam. The system involves careful thinking about the situation, gaining different viewpoints and then having faith in Allah rather than being confused about something.

Looking at the Bigger Picture

Yaser El-Waly thinks that decisions can get difficult in situations where people base their actions on short-term gains alone. This means that a particular decision can be profitable in the short term but could lead to difficulties down the line or vice versa.

He suggests that people take into account their decisions' impact on themselves, others around them, and their overall personal characteristics. It means that instead of doing whatever is most convenient, he proposes considering if a decision is honest, responsible, and based on one's principles.

This does not mean overanalyzing each insignificant thing. It simply means understanding when a decision should be carefully considered and not allowing one to make any rash decisions during moments of emotional turmoil.

The Value of Seeking Perspective

Another significant element in Yaser El-Waly's style of leadership is seeking the opinions of individuals who have some experience on the matter. Yaser does not see seeking others' advice as a show of weakness. On the contrary, other people's opinions can bring out information that one has failed to notice.

In family situations, he sees the value in having conversations that allow for the expression of differing opinions. In communal issues, he thinks listening to the experience will help in coming up with better decisions and minimizing misunderstandings. On the other hand, Yaser feels that everyone has to take responsibility for their decisions no matter whose advice they have followed.

Faith After the Decision

For Yaser El-Waly, making good decisions is not something that stops once one has made a choice. The time will come when one will have to leave all their concerns behind and trust in Allah.

In Perth, he still manages to approach his tasks with the balance of effort and faith. People have to do what they can do in terms of preparation, and then, after making a good intention, they should accept their fate.

Choosing with Purpose

Those familiar with Yaser El-Waly view his philosophy as a matter of equilibrium, rather than immediacy. Not everything needs certainty before proceeding. There may be a situation where a person should go ahead with the information that is at hand and be prepared to change directions if need be.

In making decisions, Yaser feels that it is more about the process itself and not just the desired outcome. In essence, it entails making the right choices, being considerate of other people, staying true to oneself and trusting in Allah's will after much effort.
