Knowledge
Management & Islam
By Prof Dr Mohamad Fauzan Noordin
Human beings are ordered to read as a mechanism in seeking knowledge. It should be done in the Name of Lord,
the Creator, the Most Generous who has taught by the pen, and has taught Man. The command is not just to
collect knowledge and information, but also direct man to organise, plan and manage properly the knowledge
given to him

Without these two components, the journey of knowledge management implementation could be
very challenging.
Cooperation from the knowledgeable workers, directly and indirectly must be secured in
implementing the initiative of knowledge management.
In an organization,
knowledge and knowledgeable workers are important assets.
● Thus, top management in the organization must have a strategic plan on how to win
the heartware of their knowledgeable workers (peopleware) in order to secure their
maximum cooperation to drive the organization to the top rank of the economy world
and with a competitive advantage.
Most companies implementing a knowledge management initiative without proper
plan, failed to proceed until the end. This failed attempt leads to bad reputation and
wasting the monetary budget and resources.

Knowledge management & Islam (Cont’)
Human beings are able to manage knowledge for themselves, they will be
able to recognize the greatness of Allah, the Creator of the universe as He
said in AlQur’an,
Surah Fusshilat : 53
“We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until
it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. But is it not sufficient
concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness?”

Knowledge management (KM) is an important research area and is a sub-field in various
disciplines. KM can be embedded in Economy, Science, Technology, Human Science and many
more, which require techniques to manage them for easy access at the right time and the right
place.
Moreover, the vital components in knowledge management must include peopleware and
heartware in order to implement it successfully.
