Islamic sources and doctrines have paid special attention to the principle of control and supervision as one of the chief duties of a manager and one of the crucial elements in an efficient and sound managerment. The control system derived from religious sources can be thought as a all-embracing, fair and exclusive system. According to this system, God, the Almighty, and the divine angels are the supervisors; they observe man's actions, behaviours and intentions, and man is made aware of the idea that he or she is always in the Presence of the Divine. Thus, every single act of man is in full view of God and the divine angels. Accordingly, the second type of control, that is man's control of his or her actions, namely, "self-control" comes to the fore. This implies that man is prescribed to control his own actions or behaviours persistently. Another type of control has been dealt with, according to which Moslems are to attend to others, to warn against human misdeeds or deviation from one's rightful duties, and to enjoin good and prohibit evil. Finally, it is incumbent on a manager of an organization to supervise or control the personnels and to execute the plans of an organization. A manager's supervision can be of two kinds: overt or official and covert or hidden. Thus, the Islamic perspective of the all-embracing control system is composed of the following components: 1) God's control (the Divine control) 2) Self-control (one's control over his or her actions) 3) General control (all people are responsible for controlling one another) 4) A manager's control over personnels of organization and this can take two forms: 1) open or overt and 2) hidden on covert.
