Abstract


 The development of technology has created problems regarding challenges and opportunities in utilizing knowledge obtained by humans from various experiences. Experience-based knowledge has been seen as a special advantage for individuals and Islam has a unique way to explain this aspect. This paper aimed to develop an experience-based knowledge model from an Islamic perspective. This study used a qualitative approach based on literature reviews sourced from Al-Qur’an, Al-Hadith, and relevant previous kinds of literature. This study is expected to provide contributions to the development of theories related to experience-based knowledge from an Islamic perspective.

This experience-based knowledge helped individuals improve their abilities and were disseminated to the other individuals for Allah’s blessings and achieving the embraced organizational goals and success.
