KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN CRISIS SITUATIONS: ENHANCING PRACTICES WITH ISLAMIC VALUES

Abstract

This paper explores the role of Knowledge Management (KM) in crisis situations, particularly focusing on how Islamic principles enhance or modify conventional KM practices. KM is essential in crisis management, facilitating decision-making, information sharing, and resilience-building. The integration of Islamic ethical values—such as amanah (trustworthiness), maslahah (public good), tawakkul (reliance on God), and shura (consultation)—provides a moral framework that emphasizes community welfare, transparency, and collaborative action. Through a literature review, the paper identifies emerging trends in Islamic KM, discusses research methodologies, and presents findings on the impact of Islamic values in crisis management. It highlights the strengths of integrating Islamic ethics into KM frameworks and suggests directions for future research, including empirical studies and the development of tailored KM models for Muslim contexts.
