| Summary: | Surah al-Fatihah is the essence of the Qu’ran and a guide for the muslims to perform their duty as servants
and caliphs on earth. Therefore, they must embrace the principles and values contained in surah al-Fatihah. Although the Islamic management method is recognised as comprehensive and progressive, it has
failed to convince leaders in many Islamic countries and Islamic institutions to apply it as a system. Similarly,
in the context of academic research, the existing western-oriented management frameworks are used even
for studying Islamic-related issues. This is because the existing western management methods are more
widely accepted and internationally recognised, while the existing Islamic management methods are, in fact,
very limited. This paper attempts to present a preliminary study on Islamic-based management operating
procedures derived from surah al-Fatihah as a contribution towards developing Islamic management concept
and method. This qualitative study used content analysis as the instrument for collecting data. This analysis
involved surah al-Fatihah, translation of the surah written by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, hadith and interpretation of
the surah by mufassirin to represent Islamic views on the subject matter. This study found that among the
management operating procedures and principles based on surah al-Fatihah are reciting basmalah, loving
and caring, working not for personal interest, be proactive, managing risks, working as ‘ibadah, implementing
du’a’, teamwork, following the right track and avoiding fraud. These procedures and principles should be
practised by muslim leaders as their management operating procedures in order to develop a strong concept
of Islamic management, to produce managers with integrity, good characters and skills as well as to create
management as an effort of achieving success (al-falah) in the world and the hereafter. |
