description The adaptation of learning organizations in different contexts has become a well-discussed topic. However, not much has been written on learning organizations in a religious context.

There is clear evidence of the learning element and the importance of learning in Islamic organization. My previous work that deals with the Islamic perspective on the learning organization is Ahmad (2010). This chapter discusses whether the idea of the learning organization is applicable in the Islamic environment, and is in harmony with the Muslim culture.
