HRM FROM ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE

From the Islamic perspective, the Holy Quran often reminds of
honesty and justice in business, and demands for an impartial
and fair distribution of wealth in the society Islamic
management very much emphasizes on these principles.
The issue of justice and equality is dominant in all of human

Recruitment and selection

In recruitment and selection of employees,
favoritism and preference has always
influenced hiring decisions. Selection is one
of the most complicated tasks in
organization.
The Quranic standard of eligibility for a job
is the required merit and competence for it.

In Islam, employee selection is

abided by certain principles.
Justice. Ali Ibn Abi Talib wrote; Do not nominate them
(officers) on account of favoritism or egoism These two
attributes reflect injustice and treachery.
An employee is selected based on his competency. The
individual is not to be appointed based on kinship or
blood relationship, friendship, wealth, age, race, and
political power or alike.
Third principle is honesty. Both the applicant and
recruiter have to be hones
Fourth,Islam forbids assignment of work that will

Training and Development

Training is the process of developing qualities in human
resources that will enable them to be more productive
and thus to contribute more to organizational goal
attainment.
The Prophet Muhammad said: Verily, God loves if any
of you does a job, he does it with perfection
Islam made education obligatory for all rich and poor. It
is the duty of rich people to facilitate education for poor
people.
The Holy Prophet )said: "When any man does any
work, Allah wishes him to give it perfection and grace
(i.e. the man is expected to do his work in the best

Performance appraisal
Performance appraisal is a formal system of setting
work standards, assessing performance, and providing
feedback to employees for the purpose of motivation,
corrections and continuation of their performance
Information obtained from performance appraisal is
used as a basis for pay and promotion decisions.
Al- Quran states (18:87-88): Whoever doth wrong,
him shall we punish; then shall be sent back to his Lord,
and He will punish him with a punishment unheard of
(before). But whoever believes, and work righteousness,
he shall have a goodly reward, and easy will be his task
as we order it by our command.

Compensation and Employment

Distributive justice and procedural justice
are commonly associated with employees
compensation. The purpose of any
compensation, whether direct or indirect, is
to recognize the performance value of
employees and to establish ways to
motivate them to work with full efficiency
in an ever changing business environment.

In the early years of Muslim State, the

compensation was based on five foundations.
First,employment is a contract, thus the fulfillment of a contract
is an obligation for both employer and employee to meet.
Second,Islam emphasizes that workers should be given
adequate and reasonable wages for their work.
Third, compensation must be determined in advance and wage
has to be given immediately once the work is completed.
Prophet: Pay the laborer his wages before his sweat dries.
Fourth,compensation can either be monetary or non-monetary.
Fifth,wages and compensations are based on prior agreement
and should be increased according to circumstances.

Organizational Behavior (Employer

and Employee)
EMPLOYER:
Give wages of employee at agreed time: Remember
delay may cause difficulty to the employee, may be he
will not have money to buy food and other basic
necessities.
Wages should be in right amount: Employer should pay
the right amount as agreed. Unlawful deduction is not
permissible in Islamic religion.
Prophet Mohammed ( )Said: Give the wages of
employee before his sweat dry (Ibn Majah, Hadith no.
2468)

 Work Load:

Do not give employee workload more than his ability. If work

load is heavy help him.
Work Place:
Safe work place, food, drink and uniforms at the time of work
must be provided
Make the Work Easy:
Make the work easy for the employee, provide training, tools
and equipments as needed.
Behavior:
Behave well with your employee ProphetMohammed
()Said: One of the actions that will be beneficial in your
life after death is your good behavior with people working
under you (Ahmed, Ibn Majah, Trimidi)

 Employee Welfare:
General welfare of the employee is a moral responsibility of
employer. Allah Said: Do good to those whom your right hand
possess (worker) (Quran: Surah 4, Verse: 37)
Among good deeds education and health care are most
important. The employee who does not have money to send
children to school and the employee who does not have money
for medical treatment deserve your support,even though it is
not in the employment contract. Health care is another very
important subject the employeewho is workingso hard for you,
come up with help if cannot support self and family medical
need, it is your duty to stand beside him.

 Respect, dignity and kindness to the employee:

It is the duty of employer to ensure through his

managers, supervisors, the respect and dignity of
employees irrespective of their position. Allah has
glorified shepherds, farmers, carpenters,
blacksmiths by choosing his prophets from them.
Prophet Adam was farmer, Prophet Noah was
carpenter, Prophet Daud was blacksmith, Prophet
Musa was shepherd.
Prophet Mohammed () said: I worked as
shepherd for small wages So it is the

EMPLOYEE:
Working as an employee is one of the respectful means of
earning livelihood. Islam considers Work as Worship. A
workman is benefitted for his work is this world and after life.
It is our duty to go out and engage in work for earning
livelihood.
Employee needs to fulfill obligations to his employer.
Employee must not neglect his work nor harm employer
whether he sees or not.
Employee needs to maintain work place safe, clean and
hygienic. Prophet Mohammed ( )said: Cleanliness is half of
the faith (Iman) (Muslim, Book2, chapter 1 No, 0432)

Employee Relations and Arbitration

ALLAH All-knower know of everything is clear about the
obligations of employer and employee, human error
might occur. In this situation people sometime fails to
resolve dispute among themselves.
ALLAH made system of Arbitration. Judiciary system
needs to be in place to resolve any unresolved issues
between employer and employee God fearing
impartial judges shall be appointed to judge both party
and give verdict.
Prophet Mohammed ( )said: The people before you
were destroyed because they used to inflict the legal
punishment on the poor and forgive the rich

Conclusion
Islamic principles stated above are balanced way to
ensure welfare of both employee and employer on the
basis of Justice.
If it is so no one is harmed, everyone is benefitted.
These benefits are not only for Muslims but for all. It is
the responsibility of the Muslim nation to dowelfare for
the entire humanity.
ALLAH Said: you are the great nation. You are created
for the welfare of mankind. You order people to do the
right and stop wrong doing (Quran Surah 3, Verse
110).
