ISLAMIC ETHICAL LEADERSHIP AND MAQASHID AL-SHARIAH IN SUSTAINABLE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS MANAGEMENT

Abstract

This study examines the role of Islamic Ethical Leadership as a strategic approach for sustainable crisis management within humanitarian contexts, rooted in the principles of Maqashid Syari'ah (objectives of Islamic law) and Islamic ethics. By exploring the application of core values—honesty, trustworthiness, justice, social responsibility, and resource efficiency—this research highlights how these ethical foundations can enhance the effectiveness and accountability of crisis response efforts. Drawing from secondary data, including Islamic texts, ethical guidelines, and reports from humanitarian organizations, the study shows how Islamic Ethical Leadership aligns with Maqashid Syari'ah goals such as the protection of life (hifzh al-nafs) and property (hifzh al-mal). Findings suggest that transparency and justice in resource distribution, along with collaborative efforts across sectors, build trust and resilience in affected communities. Ultimately, the integration of Maqashid Syari'ah within leadership frameworks enables organizations to balance ethical obligations with operational demands, fostering long-term impact and societal well-being in humanitarian crisis management.
