Introduction
Recent global changes, developments and trends have significant impact on management thought, enhancing the importance of the human resource and considering it as one of the most important features of institutions, and making its further developed and enhances of its capabilities in becoming top strategic priority (Manea, 2015). The human element represents a fundamental pillar in achieving the success of the institution and reaching its goals, in terms of which the administration must do its best to direct individuals and build their capabilities, link their goals with the goals of the institution, and work to create a work environment that supports participation, mutual respect, a sense of responsibility and belonging and spreading the spirit of cooperation and loyalty at work (Suleiman, 2011).
"The core axis of creative recent organizations is based on their development of an organizational environment that works to crystallize creative trends in an intellectual and scientific approach, based on values, standards and functional practices that are reflected in the efficiency of employees and improving their performance in the organization. The flexible administrative system that is not characterized by complexity or rigid, and the work environment that there is a trust among employees, which is the basis for the development of open communication, which in turn helps the flow of information and problem solving, which would affect both creative behavior and improve the performance of the organization" (Al-Azzawi and Naseer, 2012).
Some theories have emerged that explain creativity, including what has been explained by creativity as addressing the problems facing organizations, as some organizations face a gap between what they are doing and what they are supposed to do, and some theories have been interpreted by creativity as taking place through three administrative approaches represented in realizing change, proposing change and adopting change and its application, as most of these modern theories focused on understanding creativity through the use of systems for creative routine solutions.
As for Islam, it builds the creative capacity with an integrated holistic vision, which does not neglect an iota of the affairs of the self and society, and moves its children in a framework of balance and moderation, which does not deviate the human instinct from its true essence. Allah said: {Do what you will, Verily He is All-Seer of what you do} [Fussilat: 40]. Also, Islam guards the creative entity of society by forbidding every creativity that leads to extravagance and waste, and the destruction of the blessings and wealth that man possesses. Allah said: {And do not act extravagantly; verily He does not love the extravagant} [Al-An'am: 141] (Mohamed, 2012).
There is a tradition of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH that read: "Whoever establishes a good sunnah (sunnah hasanah) in [the religion of] Islam that is followed in practice afterward, will have recorded to his merit a reward equal to the reward of anyone who practices it, without any of their rewards being at all diminished. Whoever establishes an evil sunnah (sunnah sayyi'ah) in [the religion of] Islam that is followed in practice afterward, will have recorded against him a burden equal to the burden of anyone who practices it without any of their burdens being at all lessened" (Muslim, Sahih, 4:2059-2060.
Considering the role that creative management strategies can contribute to the development of human resources, and the impact that it can have on the efficiency of workers in various institutions, the need arises to address this issue from an Islamic perspective, which prompted the researcher to choose the current study to be entitled: The impact of human resource development from the perspectives of Islamic creative management strategies.

Literature Review
Creativity is the natural ability to generate new ideas and/or possibilities in solving problems. Nizah et al (2015) conducted a study aimed to measure the level of creativity practices among 30 volunteers of first-years student in University Sains Islam Malaysia. The test instrument administered based on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking to the selected respondents to measure the level of creativity, creativity practices and creativity from the Islamic perspective. Data then analyzed using descriptive through mean analysis and inferential statistical methods. Also, (Nizah et al., 2015) reported that although there is no significant difference in the level and creativity practices among gender, but in terms of Islamic creativity elements, significant difference is observed. This indicates that the respondents are more creative upon exposure to materials on creativity during the period of the study. Thus, relevant efforts must be concentrated to produce more creative students who also have a proper understanding of creativity from the Islamic perspective. Mace et al (2012) reported a research addressed the global problem of human trafficking and provides an exploratory analysis of the need for, and possible approaches to, integrating the principles of Human Resource Development (HRD) to support a solution. Also, (Mace et al., 2012) mentioned that the solution focuses on the integration of HRD practices in the prevention of human trafficking. More precisely, the notion of National HRD (NHRD) and the connection to community development is explored within the context of the human trafficking phenomenon (Mace et al., 2012).
Abdul-Halim et al (2010) stated that there are six types of HRM strategy, namely: expansion, cost efficiency, quality conscious, commitment, conventional and employee development were employed to test their influence on HR outsourcing. Also, Abdul-Halim et al (2010) suggested that organizations rely on outsourcing of training, recruitment, payroll and HRIS functions when they espouse expansion HRM strategy. Quality conscious HRM strategies are significantly related to the outsourcing of payroll and HRIS functions. In addition, cost efficiency is significantly related to outsourcing recruitment but in opposite direction. Commitment HRM strategy is significantly related to the outsourcing of training and payroll functions while conventional HRM strategy is associated only to outsourcing training functions. However, employee development HRM strategy is not related to any outsourcing activities (Abdul-Halim et al., 2010).
Human resource development is a very crucial for any countries or institutions to give beneficial services to the people. There are various types of good relations between the multiplication of human resource and the welfare of a nation that have been proven with the help of instances from the past and present. Most of the developed countries in the world are very growth and progress because of their human resources. Plentiful human resources are not promise the prosperity of a nation, on the other hand proficient human resources can productively turn to advantage of restricted natural resources (Chowdury, 2017).
Also, Chowdury (2017) reported that the development of human resource to serve as the compelling power for enhancement and prosperity is no suspicion a key to political and socio-economic advancement of any society.
In the Islamic perspective, human resource is not just as a shape of human capital, such as knowledge, education, proficiency, training, personal improvement but wanted to preserve humankind as social beings in community, enabling them to pleasure their entity in the communal midst, are portion of this spacious domain of human resources (Chowdury, 2017).

Problems of the Study
Although the terms of human resource development and creative management are among the current and emerging terms and concepts in relation to Islamic sources, their essential connotations, purposes and goals are not new to Islamic thought, nor to its original sources represented by the Holy Qur'an and the pure Sunnah of the Prophet, which gave the first indications to the care Divine development of man in all his positions, and considering this as an integral part of society's responsibility towards the individual, and the responsibility of the individual towards himself, which equally applies to public and private institutions and organizations (Sarhan and Hamoudi, 2012). If the human being is the basis of human development, then Islam has preceded all visions for this, through other terms such as construction, acclamation, upbringing, succession, harnessing, knowledge, responsibility... and other things that may, in essence, have clear indications of human resource development in the light of the vision Islam (Al-Zaidi, 2015); All of these concepts carry in their meanings and purposes the dimensions of creative management, and stress the need to develop human resources and direct them towards unleashing their creative energies in all areas of work, thus contributing to the prosperity and progress of humanity.
Where many studies revealed the need to identify the creative energies of individuals, identify their needs and provide care for them, creativity is a phenomenon that needs to provide the material and human capabilities necessary for its development. The studies also revealed the society's lack of awareness of the importance of creativity, and the lack of encouragement and appreciation of creators and scientists and that the availability of the necessary capabilities educational institutions, programs and material support to help to develop the creative thinking process (Morgan, 2011) There are a set of obstacles that would limit the creative management within educational institutions, and among these obstacles is what was referred to (Al-Tuwaijri, 2016) and represented in: Weak financial capabilities, which leads to the lack of an appropriate organizational climate as a result of its lack of elements of good organizational, lack of job stability, such as movement between people and units and change in administrative positions, and this leads to weak creativity and lack of clarity of organizational goals, which results in confusion of goals, low morale and creativity, as well as low efficiency of workers, which leads collision in various work units, as well as the lack of awareness of the importance of creative management, and the lack of trained experts to apply it, and the leadership style that is followed constitutes an obstacle to the creativity of administrators, as authoritarian leadership does not allow creativity to appear in administrative activities as a result of not giving individuals an opportunity to participate in decision-making or to exchange views and suggestions, and Al-Zamel (2017) added that there are other factors such as mental, emotional, motivational, organizational and environmental obstacles that all hinder the achievement of creative management.
Administrative work in general has become suffering from many problems, including: the predominance of personal considerations, the predominance of trust, courtesy and mediation, as well as the predominance of the tendency to negative behavior from members of the organization over the ideal effective positive behavior, as well as the feeling of fear of expressing opinion or objection, as well as the tendency to adhere to with traditional methods that reflect negatively on human resource development (Al-Lama'i, 2014). In this manner, Islamic creative management strategies have become a necessity, and one of the most important factors that lead organizations or institutions to human resource development and employee efficiency, especially as they face various problems caused by globalization. Creative management strategies are a function and a strategic requirement for many factors, the most important of which are: they develop and accumulate personal skills in collective creative thinking and interaction through brainstorming, so as to increase the quality of decision making made to address problems and situations at the organization level. Accordingly, the problem of the study is mainly focus on the need to evaluate the impact of human resources development from the perspectives of Islamic creative management strategies.
