Abstract
This paper explores the concept of Leadership in the light of Islamic Management Model using the existing and available literature and compares the western and Islamic perspectives on leadership. The Islamic Management Model is a “holistic approach where leaders ‘surrender’ their authorities to ‘divine’ instructions and then gain the knowledge to use them as instructions for managing their organizations”. ‘Surrendering’ to divine instructions, here, means that leaders are held answerable and accountable for their responsibility regarding fulfillment of their duties towards followers effectively and efficiently. This study adds contribution to theory by providing an integrated review of Organizational Leadership in the light of Islamic Management model using basic principles from Qurʼān and Ḥadīth and provides a comparison between the western and Islamic approaches towards leadership. Also, this study has practical implications for those who are involved in the leadership or management of their organizations. Owing to the dynamic corporate environment, the leaders have to face many challenging issues day to day and investigating how these leaders could effectively do their work has become the topic of debate. The Islamic Management Model provides a framework for how corporate leaders can tackle these dynamic challenges under the framework of Islam by inculcating a positive organizational culture of Islamic values.
