“…As part of the goals of its message, Islam regards knowledge that forms the foundation in the search of truth (haqq), spirituality, ethics, and wisdom (Hilgendorf, 2003). Likewise, Fatoohi (2009) and Khan and Sheikh (2012) assert that knowledge divorced from faith is only incomplete knowledge.…”

The purpose of this paper is to measure the association between Islamic leadership and the most common western forms of leadership namely; transactional, transformational, authentic, and ethical leadership styles as well as its relationship on leader’s effectiveness and organizational innovation. Design/methodology/approach – An empirical investigation was conducted using portrait value questionnaire recommended by Schwartz (1994b), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) followed by structural equation modelling (SEM). Findings – The results indicated that Islamic leadership is positively and significantly associated with perception of leader effectiveness and innovation outcomes. In addition the findings revealed that Islamic leadership is positively correlated with transformational, ethical, and authentic leadership as well and not with the transactional leadership style. Practical implications – Among the practical implications of this research is that while a large body of leadership research has adopted a variation of leadership theories, our results suggest that we should seize to pay attention to the influential Islamic leadership. Originality/value – The originality of this paper is that it extends scholarly understanding on Islamic perspectives of management which is a relatively new and growing area of interest for academics and practitioners, in terms of both theory and practice.

“…It constitutes a moral obligation as it was borne out by the first revelation Iqra (read) to the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) and as it is stated in the following Hadith : “Learned people, knowledge, and work are blessed.” It provides the basis for truth, ethics and wisdom (Hilgendorf, 2003) and is an important component of belief in God: “God will raise up to ranks those of you who believe and who have been granted knowledge” (the Quran , 58:11). God also said in the Quran (39:9): “Are those who know equal to those who know not?…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to draw a portrait of training and development ideals and practices from the Islamic point of view.Design/methodology/approachThis is a conceptual paper. The paper reviews the relevant literature on training and development from an Islamic perspective portraying the interface between ideals and practices of training and development in Islam in order to bridge a gap in the extant literature.FindingsThe literature that deals with training and development in Islam seems to belong to two major categories: essays espousing a broad perspective and including catch‐all concepts or other generic Islamic principles; and studies addressing human resource management in Islam that mainly examine training and development from a narrow perspective. The findings of this limited body of literature are far from being consistent as they seem contradictory in nature. Simultaneously, in the area of training and professional development, Islam emphasizes practical wisdom and translating theoretical insights into behaviors and practices rather than solely relying on theoretical principles.Research limitations/implicationsThe literature review is not detailed due to the dearth of information on training and development from an Islamic perspective.Practical implicationsTraining and learning methods from the Islamic tradition can provide constructive contribution to workplace practices as well as benefit organizations that anticipate offering efficient and effective custom‐designed training methods to best meet the training needs of their Muslim employees.Originality/valueThe present contribution is a unique synthesis of the literature related to the application of Islamic principles in training and professional development.

“…This knowledge includes a focus on the Qu'ran, the Sunnah (the Prophet's worldly actions and his unspoken approval of particular facts), the Hadith (the Prophet's sayings), and the Sharia (the laws derived from the Qur'an, the Sunna, and the Hadith). This knowledge provides the basis for truth, ethics, and wisdom (Hilgendorf, 2003). The importance of the development of this knowledge and learning through the holy texts cannot be overemphasized.…”

The problem and the solution. As the second largest religion on earth, Islam has been in existence for more than 14 centuries. Today, Islam continues to grow in many parts of the world, including Europe and North America where Muslims comprise a notable minority. As our societies become more diverse, it is not uncommon in many major cities to have a Muslim colleague at work, classmate in school, or neighbor in the community. These areas are within the practice and research realm of human resource development (HRD). Therefore, understanding and appreciating the Islamic worldview of adult learning and the daily practices of its followers will contribute to resolving philosophical and cultural clashes in the work of HRD professionals as trainers, researchers, educators, and consultants throughout the world.
