Summary
Organizational Learning (OL) concept was used in developing organizations since the early 20th century (Watkins & Marsick, 1997; Britton, 2005). The NGO is a Learning Organization (LO) that provides tarbiyah (education) to develop their members to learn and practice Islam as a way of life or addin. Usrah in tarbiyah is a study circle or meeting of 3-10 members weekly, led by a leader or Naqib to inculcate the value of Islamic teaching and its practices in their daily life (Shaari & Jamaluddin, 2011). The role of Naqib as a leader in the tarbiyah within the Islamic-based NGO is to educate everyone including oneself to remain steadfast and to sustain the community connectedness in the organization. The tarbiyah that develops Naqib and members in the Islamic-based NGO CoP activists conform to the apprenticeship concept (Brown, Collins and Duguid, 1989) in which individual learn from another in a group. According to Senge (1990), OL occurs when there are individuals who are willing to help and learn from other individuals to develop new knowledge and skills
