4. Critical Success Factor for the Project
 The most important factor for the success of this
project is that all efforts shall be made inshaALLAH
purely to seek ALLAH SWT pleasure. InshaALLAH we
will try to ensure that we do not do any such thing in
the project that could earn the anger of ALLAH
SWT. In order to achieve this, we will have to:
1. Continuously correct our Niyah through out the
program’s lifecycles
2. Ensure that all the actions are under the umbrella of
sharia
3. And try to bring maximum sunnah’s in our processes
