AN EXAMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OF A NON-MUSLIM IN ISLAMIC ORGANISATION
The world is created in such a way that no one can
completely exist independent of another especially when it
comes earning a living. Thus, engagement in one
employment or the other becomes inevitable. In view of the inability of the government to provide employment for alland sundry, private organisations sprung up to fill the largevacuum within their limited capacities with faith-based
organisations not left out. The problem of job and
employment discrimination thus ensued. Hence the topical
debate whether a non-Muslim can be employed in an
Islamic organizational setting. The study relies on the
doctrinal method of legal research to examine the legal
implication of Qur’an Chapter 4 verse 144 on employment
of non-Muslims in an Islamic organizational setting. The
study explores the general rules and exceptions pertaining
to non-Muslim employments in an Islamic organization.
The study finds that the positions of Islamic jurists founded
on the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad copiously supported
employment of non-Muslims in Islamic organization with
satisfaction of certain conditions precedent including
observance of non-discrimination, meeting job
requirements and qualifications, respecting religious
beliefs of one another within the organizational setting and
legal considerations. The study recommends active
employments of non-Muslims in Islamic organisations as a
way of showcasing the beauty of Shari’ah principles to the
non-Muslims for proper inevitable human peaceful coexistence.
