Islam is an Arabic word that connotes submission, surrender and obedience. • Another literal meaning of the word Islam is ‘peace’ and this connotes that one can achieve real peace of body and mind only through submission and obedience to Allah. • Islam consists of submission and obedience to Allah, the Lord of the universe (Mawdudi,1960).

  3. Islam created a unique management paradigm nurtured civility, prosperity, diversity and happiness among people of different creeds and ethnic origins around the globe for more than 1000 years (Abbasi et al.2010). • Islamic perspective on management studies is an important area of research for modern management scholars (Abbasi et al., 2010). • Islamic perspectives are described and discussed on the basis of revealed sources of Islamic knowledge, al-Qur’n and Hadith, considering them as valid for the purpose of research (Kazmi, 2003)

  4. Management in Islamic Perspective • The concept of management in Islamic perspective is to manage all things • To know yourself: We as a man is a khalifahof Allah (God vicegerent) -To believe in God -To manage & to administer everything on the earth according to the will of Allah -to manage oneself, family, belonging, position & so on

  5. Islamic management " Integrated activities of thinking, planning, organizing, leading and controlling, interconnected with decisions, involving the use of resources - human, financial, time, information, and physical, with the objectives of attaining the goals of Maqasid al-Shariah, by means of effective and efficient methods“ SHAYA’A OTHMAN

  6. Management today is defined as • “Getting things done through others.” • Following this concept, A Manager is now understood as the person who works through others. A good manager, therefore, is a person who not only knows what is to be done but exactly how to get it done. TheHoly Quran confirms: • “…We raise some of them above others in ranks, so that some may command work from others...”[43:32

  7.   “Management is coordinating work activities so that they are completed effectively and efficiently with and through other people.” • The word “Efficiently” it means that proper usage of resources and less wastage of them. This is one of very important aspect of management. • Wastage—either in terms of: material, human capital, energy, machine utilization, or processing time, creates inefficiencies resulting in the increase of costs and consequent decrease in profits. • Theholy Quran has spoken against wastage and lavish expenditure in followingwords:  • “And render to the kindred their due rights, as (also)to those in want, and to the wayfarer. But waste not (your wealth,time, health, Talents, opportunities etc) in the manner of a spendthrift.”[17:26]  • “For the wasteful are the brothers of Satan; and Satan is ungrateful to his Lord.”[17:27]
