Islamic Management Perspective Of Human And Material Resources

Abstract

Islamic perspective on management has been described and discussed on the basis of the revealed sources of Islamic knowledge such as the holy Qur‟an and Hadith. This is considered to be the valid instruments of contact or consult for the smooth running of human affairs. Currently, the management practices of some muslim dominated communities have turned otherwise in terms of human and material resources management. This led to the re-introduction of Islamic management theories in order to make case for models of Islamic management system which is expected to serve as a reminder and turning point for the Muslim leaders who have prioritized the western principles above the teachings of Islam on management of human and materials affairs. Our engagements in life, especially the muslims must be in line what has been ordained by Allah (swt) and the teachings of His most respected apostle Muhammad (pbuh), because this is the strategic way of decision making in Islam which requires God‟s consciousness. Researchers in this paper attempted to discuss benefits of Islamic management principles and theories above other theories of management of human and material resources
