Labor relation is an important relationship of the modern market economy, and harmonious labor relation is not only conducive to promote social harmony, but also the reflection of the core competitiveness of enterprises, which is also important to the value achievement of workers. Research on the conflicts of labor relations has increasingly presented the features of intervening from the perspective of human resource management. Based on this, this article puts special emphasis on the following three aspects to promote the establishment of harmonious labor relations: strengthen the position of the core indicators of employee satisfaction, design system of remuneration based on benefit-sharing, upgrade cost consciousness of related professionals. Labor relations got much attention from researchers and managers, and the intensification of labor relations conflict has brought heavy pressure to the community and enterprises. As Islamic economy continuously transformed too rapidly, Islamic labor relations have been replaced by market-oriented labor relations, with the intensification of labor relations conflict, such as Foxconn incident, has caused widespread concern. In the context of continuous improvement in the quality of workers, simple and crude solutions cannot meet the needs of the times, therefore, how to properly deal with the conflicts of interest between employers and employees and to build harmonious labor relations has become an unavoidable reality question at the present stage of Islamic society. The Muslim community and the labor movement share the common goals of social justice, economic fairness, and fair treatment in the workplace. In fact, the history of Islam is rooted in a firm stand against economic exploitation. When Prophet Muhammad ibn (son of) Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with Him, began preaching Islam in Mecca, it shook up an unjust economic structure that allowed the rich to take advantage of the poor. Before Prophet Muhammad departed, he left behind The Holy Qur'an, a book filled with guidance on how men and women should treat each other in various situations, including the workplace.

with the principle of social justice.
