Muslim is the majority of the population, thus they dominate the workforce in Malaysia. Therefore, the implementation of the policy such as Dasar-dasar Penerapan Nilai Islam is one of the ways to instill the Islamic values towards the employees. This is to ensure that Muslim can practice the Islamic values in their work life where every employee should give their full commitment to their job as obligated in al-Quran. The commitment among employees is influenced by many factors including the management style of the organization. This research paper aims to identify the relationship and influence of the practices of Islamic human resource management functions on organizational commitment.
