THE ROLE OF ISLAMIC LEADERSHIP IN CRISIS MANAGEMENT: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

This study examines the role of Islamic leadership principles in addressing the complexities of crisis management through a literature review. It identifies key values such as justice (‘adl), trust (amanah), consultation (shura), and compassion (rahmah) as essential for ethical and effective leadership during crises. These principles provide a framework that prioritizes fairness, accountability, and collective well-being. Additionally, concepts like istishlah (public interest) and maslahah (collective welfare) guide decision-making and conflict resolution for long-term sustainability. Despite challenges like limited global recognition and cultural biases, technological advancements offer opportunities to modernize these practices. The findings highlight the adaptability of Islamic values in fostering ethical governance and inclusive crisis management. This study bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering insights for sustainable solutions in modern crises.
