One of the fundamental challenges organizations face in the process of strategic planning is becoming entangled in overly ambitious an‎d unrealistic objectives, in Islamic literature, this condition is referred to as ṭūl al-amal (prolonged hope). This concept denotes immersion in distant aspirations, neglect of present capacities, an‎d detachment from duty_oriented actions. An examination of Qur’anic verses an‎d narrations indicates that ṭūl al-amal is not merely an individual, ethical, an‎d cognitive impairment; rather, it can extend to the organizational level, manifesting in the formulation of unattainable visions, goals disproportionate to actual capacities, an‎d long-term strategies lacking a realistic foundation. Employing a descriptive–analytical method, this study first revisits Islamic theoretical foundations an‎d, drawing on prior research an‎d an in-depth analysis of the narrations of the Infallibles (peace be upon them), offers an operational redefinition of ṭūl al-amal an‎d of the mechanisms for its regulation, namely qaṣr al-amal (shortening of hope). In this study, ṭūl al-amal is defined as a mental an‎d psychological state in which the attainment of aspirations acquires primacy for the individual an‎d becomes the axis of meaning an‎d life satisfaction. It may manifest at three distinct levels: (1) at the level of aspirations incompatible with the ultimate purpose of creation (undesirable hope); (2) at the level of aspirations compatible with the purpose of human creation but lacking commensurate action; an‎d (3) at the level of aspirations compatible with the purpose of human creation an‎d accompanied by appropriate action, yet characterized by an excessive primacy accorded to outcomes. Finally, the concept of qaṣr al-amal an‎d its structural configuration, in light of these three levels of manifestation of ṭūl al-amal, are explicated in order to extract practical mechanisms for mitigating this impairment based on Islamic sources. The study further examines solutions within the domain of strategic planning. The strategic planning literature emphasizes that the organizational mission constitutes the cornerstone of all planning components, including vision, objectives, an‎d strategies, an‎d that any deviation from the mission undermines an organization’s strategic coherence. By integrating these two epistemic domains, the present research proposes a two-stage, mission-based framework for strategic planning. This model encompasses: (1) the clarification an‎d definition of the organizational mission, an‎d (2) the design an‎d assessment of strategic planning components in alignment with the mission. The framework is structured to constrain unrealistic ambitions, reinforce duty-orientation, an‎d emphasize execution, thereby preventing the emergence of “organizational ṭūl al-amal.” The findings indicate that adopting a mission-oriented approach, in conjunction with the principles of qaṣr al-amal, can enhance an organization’s strategic coherence, strengthen realism in goal setting, an‎d improve the effectiveness of strategic plan implementation. This model can serve as an integrative framework grounded in Islamic sources an‎d the scholarly literature of strategic planning, offering a practical means to improve strategic planning processes in organizations. Keywords: ṭūl al-amal, strategic planning, long-term goals, vision, mission.
