The process of managing diversity in human resources is one of the administrative trends that have gone through many historical developments. Diversity management should be understood as an ancient historical concept, as there is a form of literature in the Islamic civilization known as the literature of difference, which is an Islamic creation and a positive aspect of Islamic civilization.
