The Impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution on Human Resources in Unemployment Rates from an Islamic Perspective

Abstract

The fourth industry revolution-IR4 reshapes global industries and societies with unique challenges and opportunities for Oman, more specifically through the prism of Islamic values. This paper attempts to research the various dimensions of the impact of IR4 on education, employment, and economic development in the Omani context by underlining the integration of Islamic ethical principles in governing these changes. The following research work will cover some of the important areas in which Islamic teachings could guide ethical technology use and policy development. The literature available on this topic was analyzed, and successful case studies were discussed in this research. It also shows serious challenges, gaps in competencies, and unemployment but at the same time shows how IR4 can create innovation opportunities and grow. Propose frameworks of how to include Islamic principles into the adoption of IR4 with some recommendations to policymakers, educators, and industry leaders. The study, therefore, advocates for future research that is focused on the confluence of Islamic values and IR4, particularly on the development of culturally sensitive models for education, finance, and entrepreneurship. The marriage of the traditional Islamic approaches with the modern technological developments will make Oman tackle not only the social but also the economic impacts of IR4, ensuring a balanced and inclusive response to support sustainable development while preserving cultural identity.
