وفقاً للأهداف

You’ll usually place this at the end of a sentence to justify an action. For example, if you're explaining why you spent money on a new software, you’d say, 'We bought this وفقاً للأهداف.' It works beautifully with verbs like نعمل (we work), نتحرك (we move/proceed), or نخطط (we plan). It’s a very modular phrase—you can drop it into almost any sentence about work, study, or personal development to give it an instant boost of authority. Just remember to keep your tone steady; it’s a phrase for people who have their act together!

This is your go-to for the office. Use it in meetings when you need to defend a strategy or in a performance review to show you’ve been focused. It’s also great for academic writing or when discussing a serious project with a partner. If you’re a fitness enthusiast, you might even use it with your trainer to show you’re sticking to your diet. It’s perfect for any situation where 'results' are the main topic of conversation. It makes you sound organized, disciplined, and very professional.

Don't bring this to a first date unless you want to sound like a corporate robot! If your friend asks why you’re eating a third slice of pizza, saying you’re doing it وفقاً للأهداف might get a laugh, but it’s technically the wrong vibe. Avoid it in highly emotional or spontaneous situations. You wouldn't say you fell in love وفقاً للأهداف. It’s too clinical for the heart. Also, avoid using it if there actually are no goals—people will see through the corporate jargon pretty quickly if there's no substance behind it.

In the modern Arab world, especially in hubs like Dubai, Riyadh, or Doha, there is a massive cultural shift toward 'Vision' projects (like Saudi Vision 2030). This has made 'goal-oriented' language extremely popular. While traditional Arabic might focus more on fate (إن شاء الله), the modern professional landscape heavily utilizes phrases like وفقاً للأهداف to emphasize human planning and accountability. It represents a bridge between traditional values and a fast-paced, globalized business culture.

You might hear حسب الأهداف (Hasab al-ahdaf), which is slightly more casual and common in spoken dialects. Another one is تماشياً مع الأهداف (Tamashiyan ma' al-ahdaf), which means 'in line with the goals' and sounds even more poetic and high-level. If you want to be very direct, you could say بناءً على الأهداف (Bina'an 'ala al-ahdaf), meaning 'based on the goals.' All of these carry the same DNA of alignment, but وفقاً remains the gold standard for formal clarity.
