This essay highlights creative thinking and implementation strategies from conventional and Islamic perspectives. Since the birth of the Islamic religion more than 1400 years ago, Islam has taken care of creative thinking Strategies by guaranteeing that they are utilized in life. The Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet, peace, and blessings be upon him, encouraged creative thinking at that time. This paper addressed the subject of the feasibility of deriving creative thinking strategies from the Holy Quran and the Sunnah. And that these techniques have been employed in modern businesses, taking into account the diverse reasons for their implementation. When the application of these strategies was reviewed and researched in the Qur'an and Sunnah, it was determined that they are remarkably analogous to the creative thinking strategies that drew interest barely seventy years ago. In addition, the adoption of creative thinking strategies in businesses from a conventional standpoint was examined. The paper illustrated the processes for adopting these Strategies, their importance, and their results in organizations. These strategies extend the mind, move the mind, and raise diverse talents. The strategies of creative thinking in Islam were also explored, and the strategies for adopting each strategy were outlined. The essay featured Strategies: brainstorming, dialogue strategy and encouragement strategy from a conventional and Islamic perspective. Each strategy in Islam is detailed in terms of why it is employed, who used it, the situation that necessitated its usage, and the repercussions of employing it. The essay outlines the basics of employing creative thinking processes in Islam for individual development and character formation.

“…Some scholars have noted that the richness and complexity of community education complicates the construction of a typology (Matarese, 2013). Others have sought to work towards frameworks through which to examine community education (Burman & Miles, 2018;Gholami, 2017;Gordon et al, 2005). We build upon these previous works and take their concerns and reflections into account to differentiate different types of community education.…”

“…Goals as formulated in the case studies are the cultivation of pride (Tereshchenko identities. The latter is different from the cultivation of ethnic or religious identities as it is not concerned with including youth into the ethnic group but rather with supporting the youth in their coping with development of multiple identities (Gholami, 2017). A recurring theme in the objective of individual development is that of anti-racism and safe spaces (Pecenka & Anthias, 2015;Shirazi, 2019).…”

Minoritized communities have a long history of self-organizing learning to meet their youth's varied educational needs. Community education is a widespread societal phenomenon, yet a conceptual framework mapping the diversity of educational initiatives remained lacking. We bring together the body of academic work on community education in a systematic literature review and extract an array of cases. By regarding these cases through a conceptual framework based on their organizational form and their main objectives we distinguish different types of community education and we deduce that different communities have different needs which translate into different intended purposes. Distinguishing similarities and differences in community education across communities and countries is a necessary step in acknowledging the resourcefulness of minoritized communities in self-organizing education which is pertinent for stakeholders of community schools as well for those researching community educational spaces.

“…There is a consensus among scholars that the relationship between education and Islam has been given considerable attention in academia in the aftermath of 9/11. (Berglund 2017;Gholami 2017;Hefner 2009;Boyle 2004). Nevertheless, little research has been conducted into Islamic Studies teachers (Jamjoom 2012).…”

Recent years have witnessed the burgeoning growth of international schools in Qatar, where Islamic Studies is a statutory subject for all schools. This paper aims to investigate how Islamic Studies teachers navigate an internationalized setting where there is dissonance between local and global educational priorities. International schools aim to forge global citizens who perceive their identity in terms of global rather than religious belonging. To examine how Islamic Studies teachers view their work in such a setting, a qualitative study was conducted in an international school based in Qatar. The study employs Bourdieu’s concepts of religious capital and field to explore how the Islamic teachers’ pedagogical skills and knowledge are valued in a non-Islamic teaching setting. The study concludes that the international schooling field allowed Islamic Studies teachers to transform their religiosity into social capital, but they failed to convert their Islamic knowledge into cultural capital. However, Islamic Studies teachers positively view their work in internationalized milieu. They think that the international schooling field can help them to accumulate different forms of capital that are prized in Qatar.
