Organizational Behavior from an Islamic Perspective

Journal of Islamic Studies and Culture, 2016

The influence of religion on most aspects of one's life is obvious. Islam as a religion governs man's life in this world in every aspect (Al-Sheha.2000,p.11).It is a well known fact the holy Qur'an and Sunnah (Hadith) are the main sources of guidance for Muslims in every sphere of life (Islahi,2015). The Qur'an never gives us suggestions but commands us to perform the commands of Allah. The Qur'an and Sunnah form the constitution for all Muslims. Therefore, Muslims must adjust their behavior accordingly. The objectives of the article are: to give a better understanding of Muslims behavior and manners as outlined in the Qur'an and Sunnah. The behaviors , manners to be discussed are communications, dealing with others, greetings and entering homes, etiquettes of sitting, socializing, , resolving differences, bereavement and condolences, cleanness and dress, eating and hospitality, fasting, walking, sleeping, intimate relations with one's spouse , behaving in the market, charging interest and borrowing and lending. The second objective is to develop some recommendations that will help avoid any negative bigotry of Islam and Muslims with particular emphasis on behavior. The third objective is to discuss the major implications of the findings on non Muslims and people of other cultures. In view of the arising negative reactions towards Muslims' in the Western world that is attributed by some Western observers to Islamic teachings based on the Qur'an and Sunnah, there needs to be a more objective view of the impact of Islam on individual behavior in both society and organizations. For the purpose of research the researcher used the Qur'an and Sunnah as the main source of information for the study. Apart from that, the researcher interviewed clergymen (Imams), and consulted Islamic shari'ah professors on some of the issues under investigation, in addition to the Friday prayer sermons and documents. Clergymen speeches are fully analyzed and investigated. The paper has academic and practical implications. It is believed that a better understanding of Muslims behavior and culture, will help non-Muslims learn better how to communicate and deal with Muslims whether at work, in the neighborhood, in the streets, in events and in the market. The paper will also fill a gap in international literature on the various aspects of Muslims culture and behavior. The study is divided into three sections. The first section presents the abstract, definition of Islam and Muslims, and introduction. The second section deals with the various aspects of Muslims behavior in light of the Qur'an and Sunnah (Hadith). The third section is dedicated to the conclusions, recommendations, and implications. It is evident from the paper that Islamic teachings have laid the foundations for good, sound and ethical behavior. Muslims should act and behave in accordance to the Qur'an and teachings of the Prophet. Good interaction and true Islamic behavior not only ensure that Muslims are not violating other people's rights but can also make them well accepted and appreciated by others.
