Creative Thinking And Creative Personality.

Assalam-o-Alaikum.  Hope you all are fine. Today's title of my post is Creative Thinking and Creative Personality which is a bit off because I have never written on such topics. Most of my writings are based on sad titles So this time I have chosen the title a bit differently. One thing more to say that please comment after reading the whole article otherwise you will be downvoted. So let's move towards the actual topic

What is Creative Thinking and Creative Personality?   

It refers to thinking in a different way. ! In life, again and again, new challenges arise, new situations get created and new problems appear, in simple words journey of life is not smooth, it is therefore required that each time we think again and reflect from a new angle of vision. that is called creative thinking. Those who are capable of creative thinking are the ones who attain success.

I will share some examples…

Creative thinking is needed both in secular and religious fields. I will clarify this with some justifications.   A very well known example, at a community level, is that of Japan. Before the second world war, JAPAN was a violent NATION. They were a Nation of warriors and in the second world, they had caused a lot of devastation.   But they suffered a defeat. !! a second world war had two groups:  AXIX POWERS AND ALLIED POWERS. Japan was fighting the war on the side of the Axis power. Which was led by Germany and they were defeated. After facing defeat Japan Reassessed the entire situation and they took a sudden U-TURN. In other words, A nation that was a fighter nation turned into a peaceful nation. They relinquished their violent activities and channelized their energy towards Education, Industry, and business. And as we all are aware, within a span of thirty years Japan made history and it became an economic superpower. this was the miracle of CREATIVE THINKING. 

The Islamic term for creative thinking is “ IJTIHAAD”. Ijtihaad and creative thinking are in reality synonyms to each other. IJtihaad also means to think in a different way. I will share an incident from the life of the prophet of Islam. Once he had his companions set off from MECCA to go to TAIF. The contingent more than ten thousand companions along with the prophet. They were walking in a horizontal formation. In these days passages were carved out between the mountain valleys .on the way the prophet and his companions encountered such a mountain valley. the prophet asked the companions what would they call such a pathway? They said its name is “ AZ-ZAIQAH” ( mean Narrow path). In reply, the prophet said “NO” this an easy passage. So what was the State of Affairs at that time? The group of companions was walking Horizontally, which is flanking on left and right. And the question was how will they pass the Valley. the way appeared narrow for so many of them to pass, then the prophet asked all of them, to get organized in a vertical queue, they all formed a queue and then easily passed the passageway. this is the Meaning of Ijtahaad. In other words to think again and reflect before an undertaking.  ~
