The Muhammad’s Lasting Resilience Model (MLRM) is an innovative framework designed to address gaps in existing resilience theories by incorporating a holistic, multidimensional approach. Rooted in the timeless wisdom of Prophet Muhammad, MLRM integrates four core dimensions: spiritual, moral, emotional, and community resilience. This versatile framework offers practical applications for both personal growth and organizational transformation.

Core Dimensions

The model focuses on four key dimensions of resilience:

1. Moral and Ethical Resilience This dimension is anchored in unwavering moral principles and ethical decision-making, which serve as a compass during times of uncertainty. By focusing on integrity and righteousness, it encourages individuals and organizations to act ethically, even in the face of adversity.
2. Spiritual Resilience Spiritual resilience involves cultivating inner strength by aligning personal struggles with a deeper sense of purpose and destiny. This dimension emphasizes the importance of faith and spiritual fortitude in navigating life's challenges.
3. Emotional and Psychological Resilience MLRM addresses the emotional and psychological aspects of resilience, focusing on emotional regulation, mental clarity, and perseverance. It highlights the importance of managing stress, maintaining mental health, and adapting to change.
4. Social and Community Resilience This dimension emphasizes collective growth, mutual support, and community-driven solutions. By fostering strong social bonds and a sense of belonging, MLRM helps individuals and organizations overcome challenges through communal strength and shared responsibility.

Contributions to Resilience Theory

MLRM introduces dimensions often overlooked in other resilience models, such as the PERMA Model by Martin Seligman (2011), which primarily focuses on emotional and psychological well-being. Similarly, while community resilience models like Norris et al.’s Four-Phase Model (2008) emphasize collective recovery, MLRM goes further by integrating moral and spiritual values into the framework. This makes MLRM an adaptable and transformative model, empowering individuals and organizations to emerge stronger, more ethical, and more aligned with their values.

Impact and Applications

MLRM has opened new avenues for research in holistic resilience, offering a broader lens that can enrich future studies. The model is especially relevant for those seeking to incorporate ethical and spiritual considerations into resilience-building efforts. It has practical applications in organizational settings, personal development, and community-building initiatives, providing a comprehensive toolkit for navigating adversity in modern contexts.
