Ma`rifat Modiriyati

Purposeful social activities, when pursued with organizational thought and pre-established order, cultivate a more conducive environment for success. The educational and cultural activities of the seminary (Hawzah 'Ilmiyyah) can also attain greater societal permeation within the domain of organizational thought. Consequently, certain scholars within the seminary, such as Allamah Misbah-Yazdi, have endeavored to conduct their activities in a systematic and organized manner within the seminary context. This research, employing a qualitative method, examines the intellectual framework and practical measures of Allamah Misbah-Yazdi in the field of organizational management. The findings reveal that his managerial model is predicated on the principles of "religious duty-orientation and management based on religious obligation," "systemic rationality," "a holistic view of management considering the evolution and fluidity of human phenomena," "organizational flexibility," "the intelligent combination of tradition and innovation in management," and "the social responsibility of the religious institution." A comparative study of his practical measures corroborates that this model has successfully bridged the traditional seminary ethos and the exigencies of modern management. The present article offers an analysis of his managerial style, substantiated by religious principles, as an indigenous theory of Islamic management.
