Abstract

In this research, the possibility of the effectiveness of Islamic thought on decision making was considered first, then it was certified by intra-religious and extra-religious analyses. Having interviewed a community of experts in the field of Islamic thought and management in a grounded theory domain, effective factors, grounding variables, preventive variables, and the outcomes of Islamic management were identified. Hence, the concept of intuition (Basirat) through religious intuition, problem intuition, and societal intuition was identified as the central factor affecting decision making through an Islamic approach. Furthermore, factors such as advisory, trust in God, sincerity, and moderation were identified as affecting factors. Finally, the results were compared with religious literature to validate the research. In cases the results were not adjustable to religious teachings, they were modified considering the views of the experts.
