INTRODUCTION
Islam is a system of belief that included not only mans relationship with God, but Islam provides all
mankind to all human with codes that regulate their entire way of life. It consists of AQIDAH (Faith and
Believes), SHARIAH (Rules and Regulation Safeguarding Practices and Activities) and AKHLAQ
(Personalities, Behaviors, Moralities and Ethics).
Islamic Management can be defined as an emerging discipline which deals with the management of
organizations from the perspective of the knowledge acquired from the revealed and other Islamic sources of
knowledge and results in applications compatible with the Islamic beliefs and practices (Kazmi, 2005).
According to Othman (2010), Islamic Management is the integrated activities of thinking, planning,
organizing, leading and controlling, interconnected with decisions, involving the use of resources like human,
financial, time, information and physical with the objectives of attaining the goals of Maqasid al-Shariah. The
objectives of Maqasid al-Shariah are to safeguard and protect the religion (Ad-Deen), physical existence (ALJasad), soul and mind/intellect (An-Nasab/Al-Muruuah) and property/wealth/resources (Al-Maal). In Islamic
Management context, the objective of the organization should follow the objective of Shariah Islamiah. Thus, it
will lead human being for the success in this world and hereafter.
In 2016, the population of Malaysian are around 31 093 000. As a multiracial country, 60 per cent of
Malaysians practice Islam. Based on the significant increase in Muslim every year, the implementation of
Islamic management is very important. The aims of this study are:
i.
to investigate how far MYDIN apply Islamic management practice in their business and
ii. to provide an understanding that Islam Management practice helps individuals become successful people.

The principle is the foundation or basis of an idea into a tree, or the implementation of actions. In the
context of Islam, the principles act as the foundation for the implementation of administrative or management
activities to achieve the goals that have been set by the organisation. Islamic management is a specific approach
regarding Islamic principles, which guide the managers while managing their organisation (Mohamed, Nur
Afifah, & Abdul Kadir, 2014). The principles of an Islamic state involve the following principles-Al-Ubudiyyah,
Al-Syura, Al-Hurriyah, Al-Musawah and Al-Adalah.
The first principle in Islamic Management is Al-Ubudiyyah .Al-Ubudiyyah an organizing principle
involving the main principles of human information and as a servant of God. All the activities of an individual
and all activities within the organization should stick to the concept of devotion to God Almighty. This concept
means that a Muslim should be obedient to the messenger of Allah and stay away from all prohibitions. Belief in
the Oneness of God is the foundation of an Islamic devotion towards God. (Ahmad Ibrahim Abu Sin, 1991). It
