• Due to the popularity of Maslow’s Theory (despite the criticism), we begin

our discussion on motivation using his pyramid as a base comparison.

Hoping that it being familiar to all those engaged in discourse on

motivation, it would aid easy appreciation when compared.

• This presentation, Insha'Allah, intends to present a Muslim’s response of

Maslow’s “Hierarchy of Needs Theory” including an explanation of what

motivates a Muslim. I have long asserted that a Muslim’s worldview

requires him to focus on different ‘drivers’ (considerations) as motivation.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology that Abraham Maslow (1908 –1970) proposed in his 1943 paper “A Theory of Human Motivation”

• But, this hierarchy of needs theory is irrelevant regarding the

religiously inclined, or those who already subscribe to an altruistic

philosophy in life, the self-actualised – especially the Muslims,

because Islam’s approach to a human (Muslim) development

begins firstly with conscious affirmation or declaration towards

self-actualization (as a Witness - ).

• Islam’s teaching for human development in fact begins by “Self-

actualising” each and every Muslim. So, Maslow’s observations of

an ‘self-actualised’ person is indeed interesting for Muslims to

relate to.

A bunch of runners were steadily jogging as a team. The pace was steady and it

was led by their team captain-cum-coach, who provided them direction as well

as to monitor every one else’s timing. This was done for some distance in the

race when suddenly they were overtaken by several others from different

teams, sprinting past them. One member in team then shouted at the captain:

Question: Why are we going so slow unlike others who kept whizzing pass us

all. Shouldn’t we be like them and try to be ahead of them?

Answer : The others you saw sprinting

are those who believe that we are

running a 100 meter race.

Actually, we are in a 12 kilometer

marathon!
