Abstract

The contemporary conventional knowledge management method is expanding in line with other management methods adopted by any institution. This management method is used by 80% of institutions, including Islamic institutions. It is based on the conventional paradigm but it is still practiced by Islamic institutions. The objective of this method is more towards being solely profit oriented, while Islamic institutions have their own objectives in operating their institutions. Hence, what is the effect on the main objective of Islamic institutions if the conventional knowledge management method is used in the operation of Islamic institutions. Is this practice permitted in Islam? This working paper established three objectives that discuss, analyse and conclude on the conventional knowledge management method from an Islamic perspective. The objectives are to identify the aim of the conventional knowledge management method, analyse the conventional knowledge management method from an Islamic perspective and summarise the conventional knowledge management method from an Islamic perspective. This qualitative study used the document research method for collecting data, while the content analysis method was used to analyse the data. Findings indicate four main points that can be further described when discussing the conventional knowledge management method from an Islamic perspective. First, Islamic institutions should adopt a knowledge management method that is based on the philosophy and tasawur of Islamic knowledge. Second, the objective must be consistent with the blessings of Allah SWT. Third, adopt a more holistic and proper approach in all aspects, and fourth, the process used must not contradict the Syariat when all the three earlier points have been examined, amended, and scrutinised.
