How to Set Your Life Goals

We explore why having direction is essential for personal growth, emotional stability, and long-term fulfillment.
Students will learn how to distinguish between short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals, and how each serves a unique role in life planning.
A central part of the course examines what Islam teaches about intention, purpose, ambition, and striving for excellence.
We discuss how Islamic teachings encourage believers to pursue high aspirations while maintaining balance, humility, and sincerity.
Participants will discover how aligning goals with faith values leads to deeper motivation and inner peace.
Practical tools for goal-setting—such as reflection exercises, prioritization methods, and progress tracking—are introduced.
The course also explains the importance of having “big goals” that inspire growth and resilience rather than limiting self-beliefs.
We draw on examples from the Qur’an, the Prophet’s life, and Islamic scholars to show how great achievements stem from meaningful intentions.
By the end, students will gain a clear framework to define their goals, stay committed, and build a life that is purposeful, impactful, and spiritually grounded
