Ma`rifat Modiriyati

Modern managers seek to design and perform the management of knowledge in organizations. Knowledge is considered a vital factor and competitive advantage for modern organizations, the lack of which will take an organization out of the competition or at least will make organization experience inefficiency in its activities. Though management of knowledge is regarded necessary for organizations, a review of Islamic and historical sources makes us realize that Islam puts importance on the acquisition, maintenance, application, and spread of knowledge, which will result in the collection, recording and maintenance of religious documents and propagation of Islamic sciences in different fields. Accordingly, relying on Islamic sources, the present paper, in which a descriptive-analytical method is used, seeks to study the processes of silence, acquisition, maintenance, application and distribution of knowledge.
