The role of women has changed and has even reached critical heights today, especially as far as the working world is concerned. The kind of job they embark upon also influences their way of life. The question is whether the lifestyle that is supposed to be practised by Muslim working women today complies with the Shari'ah requirements stipulated for Muslim women. At the same time, the halal lifestyle concept has been increasingly accepted universally. The halal lifestyle concept focuses more on a way of life that prioritises and practises all that is commanded in Islam. A halal lifestyle is one of the elements in the halal concept and currently, it focuses more on the food, medical, self-treatment and hotel sectors. The aim of this paper was to examine the lifestyle of Muslim working women in the halal context. How can the halal concept be assimilated into women's career-lifestyle? Hence, this paper hoped to highlight the halal lifestyle concept of Muslim working women based on two objectives. The first objective was to identify the halal lifestyle concept among Muslim working women through published academic materials and the second objective was to come up with a halal lifestyle framework for Muslim working women. This working paper adopted the interpretive qualitative analysis using past literature and analysed from an Islamic perspective.
In general, there are various methods of managing motivation that have been adopted by Islamic institutions. Nevertheless, a question remains whether there is any method that can enhance employees' motivation? What is the role of Islamic law and how can its principles be incorporated in the motivation management method? This needs to be emphasised as some motivation management methods, such as having a reward ceremony, are against Islamic law due to the serving of alcohol and the unethical interaction between male and female employees. In Islam, the issue of halal and haram has been discussed clearly and in detail. Halal in Islam is naturally holistic, as it can be integrated into the entire lifestyle and it is not only limited to aspects of food, dressing and economy but extends to the aspect of employee management. This paper was written with two objectives in mind. The first objective was to identify the method of managing employee motivation that has been applied by the management of Islamic institutions. The second objective was to analyse the method based on a halal lifestyle. This paper work unravelled the answers by using the qualitative approach that applied document analysis. Based on the analysis, it was found that there are three methods of managing employee motivation and these methods are consolidated by the halal aspect to ensure that they are consistent with the Islamic Shari'a. After the questions were answered, this paper tried to clarify to society, especially the management, that halal is not small in scope but it goes even further than that because halal in Islam is holistic, and it needs to be practised in all aspects of a lifestyle.
This paper presents a narrative review of arguments made by researchers regarding the applicability of western and Japanese quality management systems by non-profit Islamic institutions. This review approach was employed after undertaking a literature search for selected articles based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The focus of narrative reviews in this study is to identify common themes across researches regarding non-profit Islamic institutions and quality management systems in Malaysia that can then be used to identify commonalities and critical differences among included documents. Following electronic searches of Scopus and Google Scholar sites, nine studies on quality management systems related to non-profit Islamic institutions were identified and subjected to a detailed narrative literature review. Findings reveal that the quality management systems discussed by researchers vary and there are researchers who rejected the idea of implementing western and Japanese quality management systems and instead implemented the Islamic Quality Management system, which was developed in Malaysia. This study intends to contribute to the quality of management and non-profit institution management literature with the proposition of adopting quality management systems by the management of non-profit Islamic institutions.
The Islamic accounting concepts circulate within the social contexts and social welfare bounded by the Islamic Shariah Law. The realisation of social contexts is based on the relationship to Allah SWT and relationship to mankind, which revolves within the social accountability relations between interested parties. The Islamic green accounting conception derives from the Islamic values of business transactions particularly in understanding the waqf management and zakat accounting in undertaking its social welfare. Therefore, the paper discusses on the fundamental features of Islamic green accounting conception to the public spheres in attaining sustainable growth and financial stability. Consequently, this paper aims to investigate the Islamic green accounting concepts within the Islamic philosophical perspectives and examine the requirements within the Islamic accounting spectrum for documenting Islamic transactions particularly waqf and zakat transactions. The interpretive qualitative research is employed by conducting five interviews for contemplating its procedures and routines in addressing the research objectives. The documentary review was conducted related to interpretive inquiry of the texts mainly from the al-Quran, Hadiths and other specific literatures. Content analysis has been undertaken to investigate the Islamic green accounting concepts and scrutinise on the possible ways to securing sustainable growth and financial stability in the public spheres. The findings reflect the appropriate management of Islamic accounting in delineating the contribution of waqf and allocation of zakat are essential in ensuring the distribution of wealth to people in need. The Islamic green accounting consists on the operationalization, management and implementation of waqf and zakat strategies to accommodate social needs and social welfare. In summary, the
