Control is one of the important stages of the entire administrative process, a process that is built on the main foundations, agreed upon by most scholars, namely planning, guidance, organization, and control.
Those interested in administrative affairs, such as Henri Fayol, the founder of the scientific management school, Murray, and Peter Drucker, have given control the utmost importance, because it is a process aimed at ensuring that the set goals, policies, plans, orders and instructions are implemented accurately and orderly, and not only that, but also means checking that the results match exactly what the organization aspires to, as well as measuring the volume of achievement according to the plans set in advance.
Control is a process that starts from the first moment of implementing the work plan, and it synchronizes and must live inside every detail to meet the specified standards, and it works in light of indicators, statistics, and numbers, without that, control cannot fulfill its role in follow-up, and quantitative control is necessary in judging the extent of the application and control of deviations in implementation.
The most prominent role of control lies in examining and reviewing plans and tracking factors that may affect the achievement of the general objectives of the organization or government unit, and evaluating the performance of activities and programs carried out by these units and agencies to judge the level of application and performance, and reset and evaluate it.
In modern management, the activity of oversight has expanded, and is no longer limited to follow-up only, but extended to include assisting in the process of making and rationalizing decisions, addressing deviations, advising on ways to fix defects, and conceptualizing methods of monitoring various types of imbalances.
The importance of oversight increases as it protects administrative systems from the specter of administrative corruption, which destroys and undermines all endeavors of growth and development, and eats away at the bones of institutions and bodies, weakening them financially and administratively.
From the Islamic perspective, oversight has been divided into three types, including popular oversight, self-censorship, and administrative oversight, and popular oversight, as it appears from its name, means that citizens carry out oversight and follow-up, while self-censorship is the public employee's sense of responsibility towards his work and full commitment to his job tasks, and accomplishing them with full transparency in accordance with the requirements of good governance.
As the poet said:
As the poet said: "People do not fix chaos, they have no masters and no masters if their ignorant people prevail."
A house cannot be built without pillars, and there are no pillars if there are no pegs
