Abstract
This study focused on the aspects of management and development from a modern perspective and also compare the management and development of Islam with particular focus on the theory of ‘Umran (‘ilm al-‘Umran) as a "catalyst" and "generator" of the management and development of Islam. The discussion begins with the history of Western thought since the era of the Greeks to the birth of the history and theories of sociology in modern times. These theories have been used as a guide for management and community development in the West. The impact of the implementation of these theories have led to many social ills and shortcomings within the aspects of development. To overcome the symptoms of dysfunction, then a solution is required in order to create a harmonious society and peaceful prosperous because theories introduced by Westerners was deadlocked, but can be considered obsolete (out-dated) and scrapped within the last decade. The method used in the study is called “induction”, a method of logical reasoning that obtains and discovers general laws from particular facts. To justify the method of induction is effective we used comparative method based on scientific and historical facts as its tool to reach a scientific result.
